They are laying next to the amp playing, and I would put them on for a while. 

 

However, I never let them just play continuously. AKG, Grado, Sennheiser don't recommend it. And I find it more enjoyable to experience them from the beginning.

When your friend tells you that he put 1gb of music in his pen drive, and you tell him you just put 350gb of music in your external HD, and will put more soon @___@

This made my day

My friend, I went lossless a few months ago... and my external drive (which I had to buy so that they can recover my crashed HD) CRASHED!!!! So I am limited to my on board HD which is only 320 :P its quite annoying. I have less than a 100 albums :P

oh my... which external hard drive was that?

I only ask because I need to get my music collection of over 100GB out of my my macbook so it can breathe.

When you look at DJs in a live performance and judge them first on their headphones before deciding if their music is any good.

Hmm.. you are asking me? I had a 1 TB LaCie Rikiki 3.0 usb, I HAD! If you want an external drive, you'll have to consider 2 main points. Size and portability. I would suggest Western Digital in any case. I am not sure about LaCie. They say they are good, but mine died after a month 

If you are looking for a portable variant, go for an HD which has a power chord unit, those are much better. Also if you are looking for something less portable, consider an HD which was made to be stationary with a fan and a good chord. 

Regarding compatibility with MAC.. I have no idea :P

Interesting note.. however, an audiophile at least knows what to look for when improving the sound, unlike just a professional sound technician.

A hard drive is a hard drive. You can format it to whatever you need.

When you look up the same headphones a hundred times before buying just to check they're perfect.
