Foobar and iPod Remote app
I'm configuring my PC so that I can use my iPhone remote app to control Foobar. However, what I notice is that the Remote sees EVERYTHING in my library (ie in Windows folders) even though those files are not in Foobar. This is a problem because I have all my files as lossless and...- keiron99

I'm aware that the handset of the Duet contains both a DAC and a headphone output but as of yet, the firmware does not allow these to be used. Any news on when they might be activated?- keiron99

Impossible to solder enamelled wire!
In my collection I have a pair of Sony CD1700s. They were excellent phones. A couple of years ago, for some obscure reason, I snipped the plug off to replace it with a new one. I have never in all that time been able to solder the wires so they have just sat there until I tried, and failed...- keiron99
