I got my friends old iPad Touch 2G because the glass screen is broken (still works fine) and he got a new one for Christmas, but I'd like to use it without installing iTunes. I don't really want to do anything but put music on it. Will I have to jailbreak it? Can I jailbreak it?

I just built a new rig and my new motherboard doesn't have room for the 2 PCI slots that my E-MU 1212M takes up. I'm thinking of getting an AuzenTech X-Fi Forte but it occured to me that I could just keep the E-MU 1010 card and get a DAC instead. So should I get a new soundcard or a DAC? My...

I ripped an album and in one song there's a high pitched squeal throughout the entire track that shouldn't be there. I checked and it's on the CD too. I opened it up in audacity and used the "Plot Spectrum" function and sure enough there a loud spike at about 15880Hz. How can I get rid of it...

So usually my taste in music is pretty varied with more punk than anything else. But lately I find myself listening to more and more post-hardcore bands. Refused have already been one of my favorite bands for years, but lately I keep listening to a lot more Fugazi, Refused, Hot Snakes than...

A week or two ago I helped my friend pick out a new 2.1 set up for his computer. We settled on the Swan M10's because they were cheap and had a great reputation here. After hearing them, I decided I'd like a pair for myself, but I went on theaudioinsider.com where he bought them and they aren't...

My friend called me up today and told me he needs help finding some good speakers. I'm actually sort of glad he asked because the speakers he has now are some terrible 2.1's that came with his computer. The problem is his budget is only about $110. If he had more cash to spend I'd probably just...

I was thinking of getting a pair of PX 100 and noticed the PMX 100 looks to be exactly the same except street style. Do they sound just like the PX 100 or are they actually different?

I read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card straight through from start to finish a few days ago. I loved the book all the way through. Great characters and an awesome storyline. The only criticism I had with the book was the very ending (the latter half of the last chapter (beginning on page 316 of...

So whenever I get a new CD, I go ahead and pull it out of the plastic wrap, then very carefully pull of the sticker at the top with the name of the album on it trying to keep it from leaving behind the sticky glue on the jewel case. This isn't enough though, and it usually ends up with glue on...

Well, normally I'm annoyed at how early the Christmas season starts, considering lots of stores skip over Thanksgiving and Sometimes even Halloween, my favorite holiday. Today, though, the early holiday season makes me glad because I went to the mall today and found out: Ghirardelli's...

Instead of getting an mp3 player for my birthday I chose to buy my entire interpunk wishlist of CD's. That's actually only 18 CD's, but I am so excited and I cannot wait for them to arrive. 2 day shipping was only $13.75 so I should get them this Wednesday which is my birthday. You want the...

I'm probably ordering an 8GB iAudio7 tomorrow. (My birthday is almost here.) I was wondering if there are better options out there. I need: -FLAC support (must have) -At least 8GB -About $200 (please not much more) -good battery life (If it uses regular AA's or AAA's that's fine too.)...

I got a mohawk today. (Me & my friends are being oi skinheads for halloween) does anyone know the best way to get a (big) mohawk to stay up?

I was at a concert Sunday (Mustard Plug & Voodoo Glow Skulls in Pompton Lakes), but I forgot my earplugs. I stayed anyway (4.5 hrs.) and ended up with some real bad tinnitus afterwards. It finally started to wear off and has gotten much less noticeable (I can hear fine today) but I can still...

link 74 minutes of music supercompressed("GSM 6.10 WAV format, at various bitrates") to fit on a 1.44MB floppy. I'm confused though: "if you try to convert it into MP3 or another format, the timbre and structure will be drastically altered - a kind of radical 'copy-protection'!" "It...

Man that match turned out even better than I expected. I still can't beleive what a hard hitter Pavlik is!

Was talking to my friend about the pair of Senn HD 25-1 II's I just ordered on buy.com and they mentioned they have a pair of HD 500. http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite...transid=004914 Apparently, they have an impedance of 150 Ohms so, they probably need an amp to really sound any...

I'm looking to get a good CD player under $200. What do you recommend around this price? This'll be the start of my new home rig. Thanks.

Saw the Carrhart vs. Dickies thread and thought I should make a boots thread. My last pair of boots was a nice pair of Timberland PRO 6" TiTANs with a steel(titanium?) toe. These were really comfortable. What I liked about them: -comfort! -lightweight for a steel toe -quick lace hooks that...

So does anyone on head-fi read any good webcomics? List your favorites. My favorites: 21 Dead Monkeys Questionable Content Scary Go Round Sam & Fuzzy North World xkcd Nothing Nice to Say Patrick Grey Lucid TV Three Panel Soul Minus rice boy Stuff Sucks

Well, I've been listening to my er6i for the past few days while I wait for a new HD580 cable for my HD25SP's and I came to noticing, These things sound terribly sibilant. I assume it's the tips I'm using(triple-flange cut with smallest flange cut off), because I don't remember them sounding...

I'm looking to try some Grados soon, but I need to know what will get me the most bass. I am fully expecting less bass than my HD 25SP's but I want to give up as little as possible. My choices are the SR 60, SR 80, SR 125, or the MS1's combined with any pads. Suggestions for mods are also...

IIRC they are the same as the 81dj's but with the shiny black finish, but I can't seem to find them online anywhere.

I know that panels UI has the Track info panel mod built in, but I still use Columns UI(I don't have the time to set up a media player without a gui). Is there a way I can get something similar to track info ui working in Columns UI?

I already am very happy with the drive I own for ripping audio, but now I need a good CD-RW drive for burning copies of my CD's to bring with me to places where they might get scratched. So I'm looking for recommendations for really good(looking for quality not speed) CD burner or DVD burner...
