    Software to sync iTunes (Windows) library with MP3 player?

    I recently purchased a Sansa Clip Zip, and I am looking for a good solution to sync my iTunes library onto it.  Any suggestions?   I am aware that one can simply drag and drop music folders onto a MP3 player as if it were a thumb drive.  In this case, I am looking for something more...

    The Official Horror game Thread!! Lets put those headphones to good use!

    I really enjoyed Alan Wake.  Lots of flavor from Twin Peaks and Stephen King - really great at creating atmosphere and keeping you in the moment.  Be sure to play the DLC parts too - the main game itself ends in a fairly unsatisfying fashion, but the two short DLC packs button it up more nicely...

    Best keyboards for gaming!

    Quote:   The Cooler Master Storm Quickfire Pro is a full 104-key board with Cherry MX Browns, and it's less than $100 USD on Amazon.  And. if you don't need/want a numpad, then CM's Quickfire Rapid is only $76 on Amazon.  Typing on a Quickfire Pro right now.  They are built very sturdily...

    Best keyboards for gaming!

    Quote:   What didn't you like about your Deck board?  That's one I was considering before I found the Max.   If you don't need the backlighting, then I'm sure the Filco is every bit as nice as the Max boards (and they've been around a lot longer).  In the end, the Cherry switches...

    Best keyboards for gaming!

    One of the forum users over at Custom PC Review had emailed Max PC about the similarities with Xarmor (and Qpad).  Here was the email he received back:         I read elsewhere that while the boards are manufactured at the same OEM, the components (including the board) were...

    Best keyboards for gaming!

    I have been looking for a nice, backlit mechanical keyboard that would do great duty for both typing and gaming.  As such, I settled on Cherry MX Brown switches (medium keypress, mechanical feedback, and no "click").   I first purchased a CM Storm Quickfire Pro (which I'm typing on right...

    Earphones for exercise

    Just test-drove my new KSC75s (amped with just my work laptop's on-board sound).  I must say I'm very impressed.  Quite a bit of sound for $15 - I see why these phones have a reputation.     Nice wide soundstage, good separation, and the upper/mid bass has some decent punch.  Not a lot of...

    The Video Game Music Thread

    Hmm, while we're talking about dubstep, I'll also hook up the Mortal Kombat fans.  Not a soundtrack, but does contain a lot of MK game samples...  "Toasty!!"      Skrillex' "Reptile's Theme":

    The Video Game Music Thread

    Quote:   Hehe okay, but it's a commercial recording, so I can't share.  The track is a dubstep/brostep take on the GB Tetris music.  Play it on a nice big system or good 'phones - very fun!   It's available on iTunes (but not Amazon's MP3 store, which I prefer).  The "Tetris" track...

    The best *VENTED/OPEN* Dynamic IEM

    Quote:   So are we talking small degrees here when you describe these IEMs as vented/open?  I ask because Sony's marketing for them still touts their isolation.  Sorry for the noob question - new here and trying to learn about IEMs.   Do these more open IEMs help provide a bigger...

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Quote:   Is Asus phasing out the DG?  Maybe that's why mine was so cheap (like $13 USD on Amazon after rebate).

    Hmm, does Doctor P's "Tetris" count for this thread...?

    Earphones for exercise

    Glad I found this thread.  Been looking for open phones to wear while mountain biking (want some external awareness for safety), and also an isolating set that won't break the bank if they get wrecked at the gym, etc.  Have a set of Koss KSC75's on the way, and going to look hard at these E30's...
