DACMagic, check Meier StageDAC, check I believe the devices which worked in Vista will work in Win 7 as well.

Found out how to do it in foobar: output folder, specify folder: C:\MP3 Then select "Generate multi-track files", then use this scheme: [%album artist%]\%album%\%track%. %title% Will output files like: C:\MP3\Artist\Album\01. First song.mp3

MediaMonkey works, somehow slower than foobar though. I'm using this format: c:\MP3\ . \<Artist> \ <Album>\<Title> Shouldn't there be a similar command for foobar? Quality wise, foobar and mediamonkey both use lame right? Is there better alternatives than the two when it comes to best...

I've got hold of an iPod, so I need to convert my files (keeping the FLAC files ofc) from FLAC to MP3 (320kbs). When I do it, foobar will put the files in one big folder, not maintaining original folder structure. I don't want to convert each folder separately, one click for whole library...

Hey. I've heard that using USB you should definitely make sure you're computer is outputting at 100% volume. Is the same true when one is using optical?

Interesting. I'm in for a listen

I must admit I have a weakness for Donald's Sonett. And that's weird because I don't really dig the look of tubes normally.

Here's another one. It sounds like clipping although looking at the graphs, everything seems to be perfect. My Morning Jackets - Touch me I'm going to scream. The clipping-like sound is around 33,5s. The sound of something moving, pay attention to your right phone. Now is this just how it...
