I did sell my first generation not-jailbroken iPhone for more than the cost of the new 3G phone. You probably won't get enough to cover that early termination fee, but you should get enough to take some of the sting out of your little adventure. Also, you own the phone. They will try their best...

All lossless formats including ALAC, FLAC and others sound exactly the same as the CD. My backups are of ALAC files because they sound as good as .wav files and take up half the room on my drives. They also have the artist, album info and art, genre, and other info on every song. Yes, to set...

Here is what I have done. I have used iTunes to rip the CD's into the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). Then when I sync the iPod I get the losslessly compressed files on the iPod with the artist and album info in tact. The files are about half the size of a .wav file.

Your ears sound as if they are bigger than mine, but my AKG 501s do touch. My 701s are better. My Beyer DT770s are deeper and don't touch at all. I can wear them at work all day. My Senn HD650s work great for me as well. They are open so I don't use them at work, but I use them a lot at home. My...

I live in the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan. I work in the forests of South Lyon, Michigan. My girlfriend, who lives there, insists that South Lyon is not a forest, but there isn't a paved road within a mile of her house.

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 pros around here somewhere. They're pretty good. I see that Amazon is letting them go for about $85 right now. I know I paid more than $125 for mine. They would be a good choice for an early pair of closed cans. Chris

I've gone to the movies by myself alone a lot in the past, and I'm starting to do it again. If I go to dinner by myself I usually sit at the bar. I haven't had dinner out alone in a while though. My Psychology of Motivation and Emotion professor says she loves to go out and eat by herself. She...

I've used CDex in the past. I liked it a lot. Right now I'm using dbPoweramp in this latest round of ripping my entire CD collection. It's pretty great and convenient, even if it's not free. Another program I've tried in the past is J. River's Media Center. It will do everything she needs for...

At work I use the Beyerdynamic DT770s. I have them on all day and they are very comfortable. To amp them, I have used the Headroom Total Bithead and also the RSA Hornet.

I have a couple of Headroom Total Bitheads. I connect them to my computers via USB. I use them when gaming, listening to music or podcasts, and watching shows on HULU. Like the others have said, you plug it in and you're done. It installs the driver automatically and becomes your sound device...

I make my own. You can get an external enclosure for under $20. You can put whatever size drive you want in it. I just upgraded my new PS3 and I put it's drive into a Rosewill enclosure. It's USB powered and works with both my PC and my Mac. You can get 2.5" laptop drives pretty cheap. The 500GB...

I have never noticed anything with either my original iPhone or my 3G iPhone.

I'm workin full time AND going to college (University) half time. Just withdrew from a class. It's going to take me forever to graduate.

I would definitely work on getting those new earphones first, though you didn't mention what you have now. As amps go, people like their Cmoy amps. If you don't want to build one, you may be able to find one for sale on the forums. My first amp was a Headroom Total Bithead that I still use...
