I just bought an iriver flash player. I checked out iriver web site and found out that I can update firmware to UMS. However, it appears that once it's changed to UMS there's no going back to music manager. I'd like to ask all you iriver user, do you prefer UMS or music manager? I did a...

I was doing a search on Yahoo! shopping, the search results (1st page) are a bunch of web sites which all look about the same, all with 5 stars Yahoo! Top Service rating, all about the same price, all with the same expensive shipping.... My question is, how do I pick which web site to buy from...

I never pick up my cell phone while driving so I miss a lot of calls. I have a handsfree headset but I don't like wearing it. So I'm thinking about getting a speakerphone instead. Can anyone please recommend me a product which uses standard 2.5mm plug and is full-duplex? Thank you!

I have been subscibing to Gramophone Magazine for over a year now. Recently I didn't receive my Sept. issue so I email the company about it, and basically they told me they missed some of the US subscriber last month (or was it just me). Opps, too bad, we don't have spare copies, well, we'll...

Mine is All Rise On the light side, Joe Cool's Blues Let me know what your favorites are!

I received the Cross-1 about a week ago, I haven't had time to hook it up, so I decided to cover the RCA plugs with Cardas dust caps. Well, all four caps fell right off, the caps could not hold on to the plugs because the plugs are too small. It really wouldn't bother me if this was the end of...

Just watched "The painist", don't like it particularly. The last movie about classicial musicians that I really like was "Hillary and Jackie". In fact, I couldn't really think of another movie which have left me an impression. Is there a particular movie in this genre that you like?

Recently I have been having a lot of problem with mail order shipments, particularly with CDs. Out of he last 5 most recently shipments I have received recently, of a total of 8 CDs, 6 of them had the jewel cases cracked (to various degree). 1 of them had the CD itself cracked. The shippers have...

I'm getting a FRS 2 way radio, Cobra has some packaged set which has pretty good price. I never heard of this brand before, is the quality good? Or should I stick with Motorola? The spec is always the same among all of them which makes it hard to pick a better one. I use it mostly in the city...

Just read about it, anyone uses it?

I have some DVD music videos which I'd like to be able to listen to them on my portable MP3 player. Is it possible to rip a audio track from a DVD-V and compress it into MP3?

Does anyone know any place to buy Japanese domestic electronics (non-audio) which are not generally available in US? I only know User's Side but they charge as high as 2.5 times over Japanese retail price.

Just ordered some CDs again, probably the last batch of this month. I bought over 10 CDs this month. Suddenly I realized that I buy on average 5-10 CDs each month, most of them classical music. I buy from various sources. However, I wonder if there's such a thing as a classical CD buying club...

Hi, I have been shopping for a PDA. Initially I was going to get a PocketPC, but I haven't been able to find one I really like. So now I'm considering a Palm device. I don't exactly know what's available (or will be available soon). I'm looking for something not too bulky, a decent color...

Just want to know what your favorite is.... I haven't listened to every one of them, but so far I like "Live at Blues Alley" most.

Who has tried both? And which one do you prefer?

I finally bought it today. It's released in US along with "Spirited Away" and "Kiki". In the store, both "Spirited Away" and "Kiki" were almost sold out (total 3 left), but there was a pile of "Castle in the Sky" left untouched. What a pity! It's my favorite Miyazaki movie, I must have watched...

I'm really excited to see Jan's standalone crossfeed unit is finally available. The price point is good. According to the description, it's a passive filter, so I guess the implementation would be very different from headroom's more static which I presume has active drive? Is cross-1 has the...
