After doing some research, I decided I wanted the Altec Lansing speakers. Just by pure coincidence, on the day my dad was going to buy them for £105 ($185), another shop was doing a "today only" price of £85 ($150), which was a bit lucky! I won't see my dad until Saturday when he brings the...

Hi guys. A few of you may remember that a few weeks ago I wanted to buy some small speakers for my room at university to hook my mp3 player upto (and my laptop if I ever felt like doing so). I decided to purchase the AE Aego2 speakers. However, I had a lot of trouble trying to obtain some...

Well, I ordered the aego2s for £100.39 (that includes the £4.99 postage), off the only website I could find that was still doing them in black (they were a fiver cheaper on a diff website for white but i wanted black). They should arrive within the next week so I'll let you know how I get on...

It depends. If I can hook them up to my mp3 player then I'd do that more than hook it up to a pc (I have a creative labs zen xtra 30gb). I'm sort of an in-between audiophile I guess. I don't want to have the best gear all the time, but I don't want the cheap stuff either. The aego2 looks the...

I'm thinking of one with a built-in amplifier (such as is the case with the aego2), but I'd have to buy an amplifier if I was getting individual speakers.

Aha... Thank you... I didn't see the website because it was under the picture. Thanks a lot for that. Will look into it, it's more in my price range definitely. EDIT: Those aego2 speakers look like exactly what I need, but seeing as clickonit is the only place I can find them, I'm going to...

Hi again. I've been looking around a little bit and all of those seem to be out of my price range (couldn't find the aego2 anywhere online). Does anyone know what the Wharfedale Diamond speakers are like, either the 8 series or the 9.0; 9.1 is slightly outta my price range. Also looking at...

Hi guys. I am currently looking for a decent set of speakers to put in my room when I go to university. I'm looking for a set of two speakers to put on my desk (possibly with a subwoofer), which are relatively compact (due to room size) yet pack a punch (nice full, fairly loud but not deafening...

I've always considered iRivers to be the best all-round, but I just love my Zen Xtra too much... With my Shure e3c's it blows anything away.

I don't get the biggie about a colour screen. I mean, it's not like you're actually going to be staring at the thing for ages anyway. I get what you mean about it looking slightly outdated, but really, I don't see the big deal. I spend most of my time listening to the music that's on it...

yeah calvin, i heard that too when i bought mine a year ago, but i've never had any trouble with mine. I'm guessing that most of these jack probs were over a year ago and so may be fixed by now. But i've had mine for a year and i've dropped it and everything and it does the job. Hmm... It did...

Hi guys. This may sound incredibly stupid, seeing as the whole point of locked files is that you can't delete them, but is there any way of deleting locked files that are on mp3 players? I need to free up space on my Zen Xtra and it has 1.5 gig of classical music that came free with the player...

Also, I hear the touch-pad is more sensitive but easy to live with. Also, it's smaller than the respective iPod and being creative, much better value for money (what they do best). It includes an FM radio and built-in mic. Okay so they may be one generation behind in the mp3 player stakes...

It's available from a couple of sellers on eBay. Amazon.co.uk are doing it also, along with numerous other UK sellers. But I'd wait a while until it's more popular - I'm waiting for the 30gb and 60gb versions, with the hope that a 40gb version will be released - I have a 30gb Zen Xtra and i LOVE...

I know about eight people who have an iPod. All of them have had unreliability issues. I know about four people without iPods. One is an iRiver, two are Creative Zen Touch, and mine is a Zen Xtra. Only one of the Zen Touch players had a reliability issue. I can appreciate Creative Labs...

Hey Guys. I see that the 20gb Zen Sleek has finally arrived. I have a Zen Xtra 30gb and it's been a dream player; great sound quality, easy to use, and most importantly, unlike all my mates' iPods and the odd iRiver, IT HASN'T BROKEN!!! But there comes a time when one fills up the player with...

Hi guys. Just wondering if this can be done? Realplayer recognises my mp3 player and I play it all through that, but with MSN Messenger 7.0 and its "show what you're playing in windows media player" function, I was wondering if there is any way of getting my mp3 player to play in windows...

Do Me Bad Things - Weird but amazingly good 9-piece from Croydon, England. Imagine every genre of rock/pop/rnb thrown together. According to the drummer, it's "Steely Dan meets Slayer meets Aretha Franklin" - I think that's fair enough. Robert Randolph and the Family Band - Amazing...

It is an awesome song... But didn't he rip off a 60s song when writing it, despite claiming it was dreamt up (Probably dreamt up sub-consciously because he'd heard this other song in the past - Now that's believable)

My favourite cover has to be Lemar's version of The Darkness's I Believe In A Thing Called Love - For those who ain't heard of Lemar, he's a British RnB guy, similar to Craig David. Not a huge fan, but he's version of The Darkness classic has to be one of the best, most tasteful and intriguing...

I bought a Zen Xtra shortly before the Touch players came out and loads of people started getting Zen Touch players (by the time they researched mine they realised it had a newer version). The only quibble I've heard off anyone with them is that one kept crashing so he got it replaced and this...
