Quote:   Killing the batteries isn't the reason you shouldn't solder directly to these batteries.  It's for the same reason you shouldn't dispose of them by fire, it just isn't safe.   You can buy tab batteries from sellers on eBay and else where.  Only buy from North American trusted...

I just got an email informing me they fixed the issue.  Hopefully it's fixed!       UPDATE:  The new files are flawless.  Just redownload the OK Go album and make sure it matches the MD5 Hash 275eed026b85829edd28d9e83c54a31b and everything should be fine now.  Thanks to the always...

They know about this issue and are working on solving it.        

I was planning to but since I was out on the weekend I didn't get a chance.  Being as it's late, it's something I plan to do tomorrow.  OK Go and The Humble Indie people are some of my favorites so I hope they'll step up and fix it proper.

The latest, the music one, is awesome but the FLAC files for the OK Go album "Twelve Remixes of Four Songs" are a non-standard modified FLAC format or just plainly corrupted.  They won't play in foobar, only VLC.  They are unable to modified to change tags to add things such as release year (pet...

@Kukuk Nice.  What is the source of that pretty picture?   Quote:   @Griffinhart & @MorbidToaster .... .... .... Shizune is best waifu.

That is the first model released.  It's the PAL version.  All original style PlayStation 1s will have the AKM DAC to my knowledge [Not sure about PSOnes (the more rounded version of the PS1 later on)].  On that model it has the nice RCA output on the unit itself.  The SCPH-1001 is the one people...

My guess is probably not.  The PlayStation 1 has a nice quality DAC [AKM DAC], but the Dreamcast just includes lower quality [audiophile wise] audio hardware (in comparison).  Don't feel down though, it's still one of the best gaming consoles ever made. :)  Just burn *cough cough* a few games...

Quote:   If you compare the audio of the original file and the converted file (lossless formats only) you'll find out you have a bit perfect copy if done right.  [The audio stream, the important part is the same].

If you mean Apple Lossless Audio (ALAC), then there is no sound quality loss unless you are trying to convert a 24-bit 96kHz (lets say as one example) to 16-bit 44.1kHz.  Long as the bit rate and sample frequency are the same you should have a 100% same audio as you started with.  Tags are...

I don't see why fighting games wouldn't be the best on Windows PCs.  It would be the most direct port of the game.  Most if not all modern arcade machines are Windows XP embedded systems (A few lines of code or a patch will make them [arcade games] run on a Windows computer natively).  Sadly the...

Quote: On the controls they suck for pretty much everything I was to use them for.  FPS, RPGs, Arcade games (Fighting, Beat'em Ups), Menus.  I hope you didn't mean RTS, I don't know of any current generation console RTS but that is a PC only genre.  I dislike the broken D-Pad, and the...

Personally I have to say the PC is a better experience then console gaming.   -Free online multiplayer gaming. [Few exceptions]. -A better community for everyone. [XBL is full 12year old, sexist, racist, bigotist, scum. (and halo fanboys)].  <---personally I've never enjoyed playing online...

That is the later version of the AKG K240M's.  I think they ended production of the K240Ms in the late 90s early early 2000s. [They started the K240Ms in the mid-80s if I'm not mistaken].  I've had both styles [not at the same time] and they sound the same to me.  From what I've read there is no...

I finally got a replacement to the first damaged one today.  The package looked like it was backed over by something at the post office (it was wedge shaped /| ).  But the record wasn't damaged really by this, it is playable this time both sides with a bit of extra tracking force.  I think it...

There goes that idea.... I got the 45 single last night destroyed by the Postal Service, and Cinder Block's piss poor packing.  Being that it's above freezing it just warped it instead of being shattered.  If there was a good 0.600"-1.250" of padding on all sides of the single it would be...

I have a slight humming, well actually closer to a buzzing which is just barely audible in the silence of a record.  [Quieter than an ungrounded turntable hum].  I don't think it is a grounding issue as I replaced the entire oxidized ground wire and made sure everything is in working order.  I...

I finally took the plunge and got the $6 45 single.  With the $10.99 shipping to Canada it's not a bad price [$16.99 total].  Still cheaper than a CD single in a store like HMV (overpriced goods).  [Again there is no CD single of this song].   Now I need to modify and fix up my ADC USB...

Quote: I think might be on their next album but than again I'm guess that is 2-3 years out.  If it was a few months I would of just waited for that.  It's not on any of their other releases as it was written and released after them.  It's their newest stuff.   The copy in the VPK file...

Quote:   Only when there is more than one program using the audio.  When one program like WinAmp (with plugins) or other program is using WASAPI in shared mode it's bit perfect until knocked into mixing another programs audio into the output (like a browser or VLC or something else), but...

I've never got a very clear answer or understanding if it's posible to configure ALSA to output a bit perfect copy of a playing music file (as the only sound playing), no resampling or mixing for supported output sample rates and bit rates.  I wouldn't mind it to work like WASAPI in shared mode...
