"Footsteps in the Dark" - Isley Brothers

I don't think there's enough demand for solid-state media. I think the future after CDs is just download-only (including for higher sampling rates/bit depths), not prepackaged flash storage. For those without internet access, kiosks will be available to download the files and transfer them to...

+ YouTube Video ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

While an enclosure is nice for using a drive you have laying around, I would just buy an external drive for this, as that would be cheaper and a little easier to set up. Here's one for about $100: Newegg.com - Western Digital Elements 1TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive WDBAAU0010HBK-NESN...

Maybe "What a Wonderful World" or "Singin' in the Rain."

It's probably a needledrop.

Right, but the others sell MP3, which will work on any hardware. That's the big issue - Apple can sell Apple Lossless, but the others would have to sell FLAC or something else, and those non-Apple files wouldn't work on the market-leading iPod. If you ask me, the solution to this is for Apple...

Unfortunately, the problem with iPods getting bigger is that people are filling them up with video instead.

Come to think of it, you could get Love. That might serve as a decent intro to their work. Granted, the mixes are different and there are some embellishments, but that's kind of what's good about it; you'll be getting something different enough to keep alongside whatever albums you eventually...

I'm happy with the mono set and the remasters of Abbey Road and Let It Be, but it's hard to suggest that when you're not familiar with the band. You could start with those last two individually, but those albums won't give you a good overview of the band's career to decide if you want all the...

Arcade Fire would be my pick. They used "Wake Up" in a promotional spot for the league anyway, so maybe that would at least ring a bell with fans. And hey, Win Butler is from Texas, where the next SB will be held.

That Destruktor graph looks like one from my Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory? CD.

Dolby Headphone won't work with a sampling rate higher than 48khz. Ripping the disc might be the best option for various reasons (like convenience), but be aware that the AnyDVD HD software isn't cheap. They have a subscription, but with the way the pricing is set up, it's best to just buy...

This is from Wikipedia regarding the connections and cables: Quote: To accommodate the additional pins for SuperSpeed mode, the physical form factors for USB 3.0 plugs and receptacles have been modified from those used in previous versions. Standard-A cables have extended heads where...

If it can be two guitars and vocalists, Tenacious D: **** Her Gently (NSFW ) - this track has one guitar though. But stick to the live stuff, because the 2001 studio album has electric guitars and drums.

But, I thought the problem was that you can't send it as 24/96 over USB.

You could activate a resampler during playback. That way you don't have to keep two copies of each file. I assume you want to keep the 24/96 files. Although, I don't know if the process can be automated. You wouldn't want it to resample 44.1 khz files too.

Do you have an SPDIF passthrough device in the sound settings? What I do is select speakers as the default audio device, and then in Foobar select WASAPI for the SPDIF passthrough device. I can stop Foobar without closing it to get other sounds to play, and I don't have to reload the browser either.

He's using an MP3 player, so he can't change the software (unless it supports RockBox or something). All I know to try is to go through the player's settings and see if maybe you've enabled the EQ or some other processing for FLAC or WAV but not the other format.
