Protection
This might be the wrong area to start this thread but here it goes any way. I was thinking last night (bad idea usually) about finding a silicone putty/resin that could be used to apply a coat to a dap or an amp as protection. Then having the ability to peel it off or change it at will without...- ChicagoNB

OK DIYers. Answer me this
Is it possible to take an Apple Nano open it up and remove the guts and replace the guts with a rockboxes iRiver so the Nano then creates a digital ouptut line. MY assumption is that you should be able to disconnect the screen and scroll wheel and reattach them to the control cables of an iRiver...- ChicagoNB

Carbon Fiber Wrapped
So I finally got to wrapping my portable rig in carbon fiber and securing my RSA Shadow to my Nano as one big package. It's not perfect and I would do it differently the next time. But here it is. I didn't even need to cut out an opening for the scroll wheel. It still works without having to be...- ChicagoNB

5th Gen Nano Radio
I really like the radio function on the new Nano and it gets great reception BUT there is no charging dock that allows you to use the radio and charge at the same time. Please correct me if I am wrong. In order to use the radio function, you need to plug an IC into the headphone jack but that...- ChicagoNB

5th Gen Nano
Has anyone esle discovered that their LOD doesn't work on the newest Nano. They use the line out as a speaker so you can't get it to go thru your amp but rather the whole world hears what you are playing. Anyone got a fix? Desparately, ChicagoNB- ChicagoNB

Almost the worst possible scenario
So, I woke up this morning and realized I left my ipod and my UE 11s in my office. I freaked out, not that they would be gone but that I didn't have them for the daily commute. I was left with two options. 1. Go with nothing (that wasn't going to happen) or 2. Use iBuds. I chose number 2. I...- ChicagoNB

Anyone Hear of This Problem Before
I was using my Nano, as I do everyday, but today every 90 seconds it would turn off. It did this for about 20 minutes then stopped for 20 minutes, then it did it again. My Nano is VERY well taken care of so it isn't abuse. Anyone heard of this or know what the problem might be and I haven't...- ChicagoNB
