streamripper 32 does its job. it even rips nullsoft video (NSV). just rename the file from .mp3 to .nsv

Yay my 6 GB Black Zen Micro came! Not really that portable, but it sounds great! Zen Micro > Sony MDREX71 Extension > Cardas HP-1 IC > DIY Tin Amp > Beyerdynamic DT440

I want to get the Iaudio U2 1GB flash player. Sadly, it does not come with a bundled AC adapter to charge the player directly from a wall outlet. I happen to have one of those Ipod USB adapter chargers. Theoretically, I can take the USB cable (with the U2 plugged into the other end) and plug it...

It's a good deal, but I have read some reviews about Comp-U-Plus that complain about their bad service. People have their product arrive weeks later and sometimes never get it at all. I have not had any experience with them at all, but just a precaution.

When music is playing to my amp, should I turn it on with the volume at my desired music level or should I have at the lowest and turn it up? Or does it not matter? I am afraid that by turning it on with music playing at a loud level that it will damage the amp/headphones.

You can get a "headphone cord holder". I have the Sony EX71s and it comes with this plastic squished egg shape holder and it rocks. I'm sure you can find 3rd party holders without having to resort to buying the EX71s.

Hi! I have the Creative Nomad II. This is the new model, just for your consideration. The sound is pretty darn good according to my standards. The bass is better than that of the IPOD mini. Mines has a 64 Mb flash card, which is not enough for me. I think you can load it up with a 128 Mb. The...

Holy cow, is this cheap or what? This is almost a steal! The Karma is even cheaper than the Zen Touch which goes for $250. I was thinking about getting the Touch. Should I go for the Karma instead? Zen Touch Does Not Have: -Dock -Visual Eye Candy Meters and Analysers -Bitrate Display...

Head-fi is like an addictive drug that has no bad side-effects.

Wake up, all tech support is like that. The people who answer the calls need to get paid don't they? Tech support is the last thing to consult. I guess your fiance learned a good lessson: read the manual or go online and google it. Well on the bright side, you have an extended warranty.

Apple has come out with new scroll/navigation wheels with every new generation. I predict the 5G will have some tweaks to the wheel, although its doing pretty well as is. Here's a cool idea: The inner part of the wheel (closest to the center) will rotate the GUI fast. When you rotate the outer...

I want one too! Where is a good place to buy a cheap Zen Touch? And I am guessing that if I buy it in the US, it will NOT come with a remote control correct?

The SlimX 350 that I have lasts about 4-5 Hours on a full charge. It does come with an ugly-bulky AA battery pack that lasts about 24 hours. It does its job, but sadly it doesn't hold enough music for me. You are limited to using the remote, and you cannot ditch it...just like the Iaudio M3...

For Question 3, I think you mean do you have Filetree Structure or the ID3 structure. I am pretty sure it goes by the ID3 structure, so there is no folder to organize your music. It is similar to that of the iPod. For pictures, go to www.dapreview.com and the click on gallery.

Hey Tom, sorry I don't know where to get a case for your Archos. I have a question though, how much battery life does it get on a full charge?

I believe that the H3XX Series is being continued, and there might be a slight chance that there will be no new firmware upgrades for this DAP. You can read up on this at the mysticriver forums.

Does anyone know if Iriver will be releasing the H10 model with a larger hard drive? Maybe 20 gigs?

Wow 36 Hrs of battery life! I look foward to the releases of these 2 new Iaudio products. Is the firmware for the M3 upgradable?

Where is the cheapest place online to get a Karma?

I recommend the Beyerdynamic DT440. I got them for $160 USD.
