    Mac OS X Music Players - alternatives to iTunes

    iTunes is bit perfect if you turn off any mixers/auto-volume adjust, put the volume on max and pipe it through optical or USB audio. I'm pretty sure it is the same with most of the players on the list. (PS: erf, not only did it not quote reply, but it didn't show me there was more then one page...

    Last.fm bitrate?

    I'm pretty sure they are using 64kb/s HE-AAC. If you listen to the upper harmonics it seems pretty indicative of the codec and it would make since to half their bandwith without giving up much subjective quality.

    My review of the chrome cr-48, the google chrome laptop

    I ended up getting a Cr-48 as well. I love it, best netbook design i've ever had the pleasure to use. It is also possible to load other operating systems if you put the hardware in development mode, but not using ChromeOS is kind of like stealing from google. My only real complaint with the...
