    Program for copying random mp3 files to mp3 player?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good program to do this? FlashShuffler is okay, but I find that it often copies files that it used recently. This is despite being set to use 100% new files on each copy. I emailed the developer about this but haven't heard back. Maybe the % new files...

    So you thought the Karma's successor would be released soon?

    "On the upside, there will probably be a whole load of products on the market this time next year, from many vendors, which offer all the things that Karma owners hold dear - like gapless, crossfade, parametric EQ, etc. That's not to say every player will be the same - give the same chip &...

    IAudio U2 1GB Review

    I don't have a digicam to take pictures of my own, but I did manage to scrounge some up that give a pretty good indication of relative size, as other objects are pictured with the U2 for comparison. FYI, all the IAudio U2's are the same size, they just differ in colour depending on capacity...

    IAudio U2 1GB Review

    Background: I had been holding out for the past few years with my IRiver IFP-180T flash player, waiting for a player that had the features I wanted at a reasonable price. IAudio's U2 came closest to what I wanted. Retailer: IAudio's distribution doesn't seem that extensive in North...

    Is iaudio U2 available at any local US stores like Best Buy?

    I am interested in an answer this question as well. What brick and mortars carry the IAudio U2?

    IAudio U2 : Problems & Experiences?

    Have been reading past posts on this player here and elsewhere. I think I've pretty much decided on it. Originally I was planning on getting the IRiver IFP799, but the issues some users have with white noise and problems playing back VBR files turned me off it. Any IAudio U2 owners want...

    Quiet CD-DVD drive sought

    Another vote for the NEC 2500/2510. Quietest optical drive I've ever had.

    Yet another defective mp3 player - iriver 799

    check iriver's forum, apparently one workaround for the reboot problem has to do with what EQ settings you use. it's obviously not something you should need to work around but see if it helps in the interim. Regarding the white noise problem, apparently it's a problem with the amp in the...

    IRiver Flash Players : White Noise Problem?

    On IRiver's forums, many users seem to complain about the IFP-7XX series having a white noise problem during playback. I looked around here and couldn't find any threads on the subject, has anyone here found such a problem with their players? The IFP-795 has the specs of the player I've been...

    M-Audio revolution 5.1

    any word on the Revolution 5.1's gaming competance? I've been holding out for an M-Audio card that offered the Revo 7.1's sound quality + better gaming performance. It says on paper that the 5.1 is supposed to be improved in terms of CPU usage but it'd be nice read some reviews...

    "listening" chairs

    Edwood - this is kind of a loaded question given the typical fanfare for the Aeron by owners, but does your Aeron leave anything to be desired for a "big comfy chair"? Or does it suffice in both functions, as a work chair and something to relax in? Then again I think I'd like something in a...

    "listening" chairs

    I remember a while back there was a "post a pic of your listening setup" thread and someone put up theirs that many people liked - just a big comfy chair with their amp and headphones beside it. What do you like to sit in when listening to music? I'm looking for ideas for a more comfortable...

    Zalman Super Flower / Flower Quiet CPU Cooler Short Review

    I bought the Cu myself a year ago. The weight issue can be circumvented by replacing the stock intel P4 bracket. The plastic bracket that comes with motherboards is kinda flimsy, I found an aftermarket bracket made completely out of metal and that screwed onto the motherboard along with a sturdy...

    post your computer audio setup

    m-audio sonica -> markertek mini -> maxed out meta42 -> beyerdynamic dt770 pro's (although I'm listening to shure e2c's at the moment as the beyers are being repaired) Very happy with it.

    a whole ****in' month

    The headphones are still under warranty. I think I'm going to have him replace both drivers even if he didn't find a problem with the right one. That's the reason why I sent them in, I don't want to get them back after waiting so long and then have the same problem there.

    Thanks Ipodlounge. BTW, I've been to the Malaga and Marbella region of Spain. Beautiful piece of the earth. Talked to the technician and he said that he actually found a problem in the left driver of my Beyerdynamic DT770's. I agonized over my cans for pretty much a month and the problem was...

    a whole ****in' month

    = period that I will be sans headphones while they are repaired. In the interim, I plan to a] throw something/someone through a window and b] use my amp as an expensive paperweight. (Sorry, just venting where I think people can understand the annoyance).

    Thinking of selling up the CD3000

    This is such a strange addiction. Sometimes it seems people get more caught up in comparing how things sound between pieces of equipment than they just focus on the enjoyment of music itself. Someone might never come to start questioning certain things until they're told by someone else that...

    Cleaning Canalphones

    Just got a pair of Shure E2C's and was wondering if anyone had any tips for keeping them clean. Want to avoid grime building up on them and ear infections, etc. Is just wiping them down with alcohol okay? As well, is everyone using the little wax guards they package along with the phones? I...
