I'll probably get some flak for this, but I didn't like Akira. I always hear that it's a "must-see", but it just didn't engage me at all. I can see where that Dragonball cartoon got some of its animation styles, but other than that I can't see why Akira is considered a classic. It's...

I have seen the light - it is AKG Not sure if I'm in in-time or not (not sure what Head-Fi standard time is), but regardless, very generous of you Fitz!

First off, thanks for all the responses! I was particularly surprised to hear that some people can hear a difference between FLAC and MP3 ; didn't know that. Also, I hadn't considered what a switch to higher resolution equipment would mean, or the problems of new and different future formats...

I've been wondering about this lately, and have yet to find a suitable answer either by searching the forums or searching the engines. I want to know why people encode to FLAC. Are there any audible differences between a file encoded in FLAC and, say, a 320kbps mp3? From what I've read, there...

I'll sign up, and thanks for another incredibly generous offer!

Like everyone keeps saying, they do an OK job of explaining basics. I received Golf For Dummies as a gift, and it turned out to be the worst golf book ever in time. But I did already know the basics, so perhaps that's why.
