I live up in the frosty north (calgary). But I'm too much of a tank to wear a hat. All kidding aside, I havn't worn a hat since my Falcons hat got wrecked. They don't make nice Falcons hats anymore, and the only other team I like (Arsenal) doesn't have crap in the way of hat selection. So...

Gotta stop putting the ***** on a pedestal...

You could let your daughter do her own project?

Karim is an idiot once again move along

none. Because I really really hate anime. I'm sorry I've been meaning to let that out for a while. Continue PS: dont bother responding to this because I won't be revisiting this thread. To each his own I just don't like anime.

Thats weird. Although I can definitely see the crackling being bit errors, I can't tell if they are scratched because *I ripped all those CD's then they broke, I lost the CD cases, and I don't keep receipts*.

Quick question: would me noticing a 'crackling' sound in many 160kb/s CBR MP3's be me hearing artifacting? As a guy who believes in 20 dollar IC's I don't think this is placebo, and it happened when I was just listening to a few MP3 a minute ago.

I just put tw versions of Kansas-Dust In The Wind on a playlist, one at 128 and one ripped to FLAC. I closed my eyes, pressed next, and then guessed that the 128kb/s was the FLAC. I really believe in the plecebo effect. (I mean I believe that other people are effected by the placebo effect)...

Yeah but in the last week my music collection has gone from 19 to 40 GBs and I have about 30 more CD's that are gonna be ripped soon. I also have 100GB's in recorded TV I havn't watched or will watch again (kenny vs spenny rules). I think I should get the 80gb.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna go ahead and pick up a 60gb on apple refurb for 260 CDN. or should I wait till they get 80gb ones in......

I love how I made a post trying to sound knowledgeable and then ended up sounding like a jackass. DIE

lol ALAC then.

I understand that the larger 5g iPods are supposed to have 20 hour battery life. Can any owners report on this? What kind of life would I get playing FLAC's? I want a DAP and battery life is very important to me.

Creative competes in the DAP market. I simply can not see them letting Msoft APPLE, I MEANT APPLE use they're flagship consumer soundcard chip in a DAP.

yeah it notice the difference even when i flip the ears. at first i thought it was my pa2v2 but its the same problem with my ipod and straight out of my xfi
