    iAudio M3 customer reviews

    I've been searching for proper reviews (as opposed to product previews) of this for a while, so thought you all might want a read. Not particularly insightful reviews, but some practical details you might find useful or interesting: http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/...reviews_id=643...

    iAudio M3

    These are going to be released here in the UK pretty soon, and going by the spec it may offer some advantages over my iHP (OTF playlists, what might be dedicated syncing software, radio recording, desk cradle). My main interest is the OS and physical interface. So basically, has anyone tried...

    Most of my mp3 have the track number in the file name. so a file looks like this e.g. G:\Music Library\Albums\# A B\Beatles, The\A Hard Day's Night\01 A Hard Day's Night.mp3 Can I use Tag&Rename (or any other free program) to AUTOMATICALLY change the file names of all of my music files to...

    Decent cans for a skinflint?

    I quite fancy getting some "proper" big headphones but I don't really know the first thing. I'd be using them mostly to listen to music (mostly rock pop and dance) and playing games off my computer, and listening on my iHP-120 mp3 player, but I don't neccesarily just want "fun", bass-exaggerated...

    iHP vs iPod sound quality

    I've just started using my iHP-120, which I bought by selling my iPod (20gb 3g) and to start with I was a bit "hmmm...er..." - not sure if I'd done the right thing - build quality and interface seemed a bit off. But then, I turned up the volume, stuck on an EQ setting, plugged in my E2s...kawow...

    Winamp 5 - any good for ripping?

    I've started exploring Winamp now I'm moving away from iTunes, and it looks like a pretty damn sweet package all in all (less memory-heavy than iTunes and WMP, and just found internet TV streams! niice). What I'd like to know is, is it's CD ripping any good, particularly compared with iTunes...

    iTunes smart playlists vs WMP auto playlists

    I know this is stretching purpose of this forum a tad, sorry, but can any say if iTunes autoplaylists have any substantial advantages over windows media players autoplaylists (ignoring portable playback)?

    Stupid question..iHP-120 "true" capacity

    Just wanted to be sure, what is the actual capacity of the iHP-120? Is it 18.5GB, like the 20GB iPod?

    iHP-120 USB 1?

    I'm hoping to get a iHP-120 in the next few days. At the moment I've only got USB 1 on my computer, and money is pretty tight (only got the exact right amount for the iHP), so not keen to get a USB 2 card straight away unless it's totally neccessary. How much slower in practical terms is USB...

    Two iHP-120 questions

    1. Can you use any earphones as the FM aerial, or is there something special about the supplied ones that means you have to use them? 2. What programs can be used with it? I'd like to use windows media player. I really can't stand Winamp. J River looks like a possibility though. And...

    iRiver iHP-100/120/140 questions

    Reading around, I'm growing less satisfied with my iPod...it's very good in itself, iTunes is a great jukebox IMO...but I just feel like it's not as great as it could be - it's not been the music-listening experience revelation I, for some reason, expected...perhaps I've got a short attention...

    Expert Knowledge needed - Battery life with flash memory Vs harddisks

    Sorry, this hasn't strictly got anything to do with audio, but I figured someone here might have some info Rising out of discussions on iPodlounge about convergence devices, I've been conceptualising combi devices for my own fun (sad I know...), basically a PDA/Smartphone with extensive digi...

    Shure E2s...itchy and dry inner ears?

    The insides of my ears..not past the opening of the canal, just the "pit" i guess, have started itching these last few days, and they're pretty dry, like there is no wax at all. I'm not using the phones particularly excessively, maybe 2 hours a day if that. But I've started using the biggest...

    Downsizing AAC

    I'm thinking of converting my 224kbps AACs to a lower bitrate, maybe 160 or 192 (using iTunes)...at the minute I can only fit about 3400 songs on my 20gig iPod...a bit inconvenient. But I don't want to re-rip all my CDs. Would I suffer quality loss higher than if I had just ripped them to the...

    Converting protected WMAs....easier or more automated way?

    (n.b. I also posted this on iPodlounge) I'm downloading songs off OD2 (europe) until iTMS comes to the UK. Whilst I don't mind paying (especially at 10p a song with the right payment package), it's all in copy-protected WMA, which is restricted from burning to CD. So if I want to use it in...

    What is bass rolloff?

    I've seen it mentioned here and on ipodlounge that the iPod has bass rolloff. What is it? Is it just a fancy way of saying that songs played through the iPod lose bass? Details please

    Please help - Shure in UK

    Advance apologies for double-posting ( http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=52431 ) but I am really desperate and realised this would be a better place to ask: does anyone in the UK (THE UK, for emphasis) know where I can get Shure earphones?

    UK availability of

    Sorry to keep going on, but does anyone in the UK (THE UK, for emphasis) know where I can get Shure earphones? I've found a store in London, but would prefer somewhere in either south west Wales (where I live) Birmingham area (my sister could get them) or Cornwall (my parents). Any ideas, cos...

    Sennheiser

    I'm probably going to settle for Sennheiser earbuds, MX400, 450RC or 500s, to replace the Apple bundled ones that came with iPod. I want to know if any of these models do that sound-isolation thing? Cos I want to be able to listen loud and clear, but don't want to have to annoy people around...

    iPod notes

    I'm trying to read extensive text files in the note reader on my iPod. They're .txt versions of proper, full books, downloaded from Project Gutenberg (Plato, Mark Twain). They open up ok, but only display about the first thirty lines. Does anyone know if I can do anything about this? P ps...

    iPod earphones

    Can someone recommend some inner-ear (is that the right name?) earphones to replace the ones that came with my iPod, which turned out to not quite good enough. I'm looking for a set that are easily available in the UK (i.e. not imported upon order) and not too expensive, no more than £30-40. P

    Anticipation

    This is not a serious post, but I think it might give you a chuckle. iPod order confirmed by email 1st thing monday (10th) morning. Order status reports on wednesday, "Shipment picked up at Taipei, 3.34am (GMT) on the 12th Nov." Great, I think, it's on it's way already. A few hours later...

    Converting WMA to MP3

    I'm converting 64kbps into MP3 Lame. Any suggestions what MP3 encoding rate I should use? I think MS say that the sound quality of 64kbps is equivalent to 128kbps MP3, so is this an appropriate rate to use for conversion? If no-one tells me otherwise I'm gonna go with 160kbps just to be "safe" P

    USB 2.0 or Firewire

    Sorry I know this is not entirely relevant to the forum, but I need to know what to stick in my PCI slot to connect to my iPod. Which is faster out of USB 2.0 and Firewire?
