SIG electronics are selling them for $419.99 CAD right now and they will come with a free music phone adapter. Handy if you have an iPhone or something similar. I've seen them go on sale for $349.99 CAD but there is no telling when they will give that kind of discount any time soon. If you...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but tags are metadata that "describe" the music files and in no way will affect the file itself.

Thanks for the input guys! The song I'm looking for is in Mandarin, so that greatly reduced the chance that I'm gonna find it through any P2P programs... :P However the issue has been resolved. I asked one of my friends in Taiwan to do me a favor and buy the video, then send it to me as...

This review definitely deserve a sticky! (that's if you fix the link of the picture though.. ) The Kenwood HD20GA7 was a big mystery in the forum since they are pretty rare around here... But this review definitely clears a lot of things up! I was about to do the same kind of review on...

Hello fellows, I have a kareoke contest to enter tomorrow. However the organization that holds this contest just phoned and told me that they could not find the kareoke version of the song I picked, only the music video version which contains the original vocals in it. (not viable during...

So no one has heard both Karma and H120?

I've been thinking about picking up another HDD based DAP, and I have heard heaps of good things about the Rockbox... but I'm just wondering, how does the sound of iHP120 compare to the Karma which I absolutely loved? (I have experience with Karma, iPod 3G & Photo, and iAudio X5, so feel...

I'm a big DT fan as well. Although I am positive I love the newer albums, I find myself going back to the earlier stuff more often... The earlier albums sound more "straightforward" somehow.

I once had a fight with my girlfriend on the phone, I ended up throwing the portable to the wall and made a permanent dent. Even worse for my current roommate: He threw his bluetooth headset for his cell phone on the ground and totally destroyed it. But yes, I find sleeping a very...

Good job Garrett, it looks absolutely gorgeous! .....Do you really think you can get away without mentioning the sound?

The avatar is my dog, Baobao, 7-year-old pomeranian. Her favorite toy. She is such an adorable dog, we had her since she was just a little puppy, and as you can see she didn't get big even when she's full-grown. She is a very smart dog. She seems to be capable of picking...

I've been using the Sony NW-E407 (which is the non-radio version of E507), aside from the surprisingly decent sound quality to it, the design and the OLED screen is just plain sexy!

I am a freshman in University of Toronto. Although the school is flooded with iPod's and iBuds, I would still spot some SR-60's or HD-497's in the campus... A lot of Grado love in U of T it seems, someone even added Headphile C-pads to his SR-60(or 80)! Finally somewhere I know that I'm...

The new album Mezmerize from System of a Down is so awesome that I looked back into their previous albums, and now I'm totally fallen in love into their work. Appearantly Mezmerize has a follow-up album that is going to be released later this year... Can't wait! Also, I just spotted this...
