How do others ensure that songs are not repeated?   This is an 'essential' feature to any high-capacity media player as absolutely no one can keep track of what songs have been played and what songs have not. And I *hate*..with a passion..when songs are repeated twice or three times before...

  So, it wouldn't repeat *any* song until *all* songs have been played? That's what I'm going for, essentially.

For people that own this player, how do you ensure that you don't repeat songs?   What I currently do (with my iPod Nano - 6th gen) is have 2 playlists "All songs" and "Today's Songs".   "Today's Songs" is a smart playlist based off "All Songs", which is set up like this: Playlist is 'All...

I am looking for a headphone clothing clip.  A lot of headphones have these included but the ones I purchased did not.  Where can I find these?  (I am in Canada...I'm not paying $20 to have something shipped over here)

Are these ear buds suitable for the gym?  Do they fall out while working out?

Quote: www.amazon.ca has them..but for $179.  Ouch. 

Quote: Just checked the futureshop website.  The SE215's are $129....out of my price range.

Quote: budget is $100 or less (Canadian)   My source..iPod Nano (the 'watch' sized..which is how I wear it)

Looking for a pair of headphones or ear buds for the gym.  I listen to classical mostly, some metal, some techno.   What I am looking for in a pair of headphones:   1) Noise isolating - as I'll be in a gym (not noise-cancelling) 2) Comfortable to wear for periods up to 2 hours without...

I've never tried clip-ons, mostly because when I look at them, they look like they would be a pain to use.  They look like (to me) that they would always get tangled up in itself.  That's why I've always liked the 'behind the neck' style.   Plus, I when I had the PMX 60's, I loved them.  I...

So...I tried the Koss Portapro.    Immediately...didn't like them.  I have a large head and they were tight on me, even when the headband was extended to it's maximum.  (I even tried the Sennheiser PX 100 - it clamped on me so tight that my ears felt like they were going to bleed)   Plus...

I've been looking for decent headphones to use while exercising (elliptical/treadmill/weights) plus, these would be worn while I'm at work.  I used to use the Sennheiser PMX-60 as they were comfortable to wear for hours and hours without my ears feeling like they are bleeding.   I tried the...

I purchased the PX 100-II on Friday.   I returned them today.  They were torture to wear.  Only after wearing them for 2 hours (and I need headphones that I can wear for 7+ hours at a time), my ears were incredibly sore and very red.  The head band is simply too tight for me.   They did...

Quote: I personally would rather avoid ebay. 

Now that the website for obadimports is down, where else can Canadians purchase t-amps from?

Juuuust wonderful...   The www.mavaudio.com is now just a link farm, and I was going to order the Maverick Tube Dac this week.   Any other suggestions that was like the Maverick Tube DAC? That thing was perfect for me.

Quote: This fits the bill perfectly. 

Screw it.  I've spent the better part of the day researching DAC's, and the only one that seems suitable for for me is the Apogee Duet. It's the same price as the Dacmagic (in my city), and it has volume control.   Since I'll be on a Mac in the very near future, this choice seems the best.

I don't see SPDIF input on that.

Back in January, I purchased KRK speakers for my computer, they sound amazing.  This past week I ordered an iMac 27 inch.  I also read that using SPDIF from the iMac locks the volume at 100%, so I need some way to control the volume.   I know that the KRK's have volume control's at the back...

If I have a USB DAC and a USB hard drive connected at the same time, would reading data off of the hard drive cause interference in the DAC?

I personally am using a pair of KRK Rokit-Powered 5 G2 speakers. Most of my music is mp3 ranging from 128 - 320. Everything I play sounds amazing on these speakers.

They are the KRK RP-5G2. I am in Canada, and I paid $436 for both of them (after taxes).

I took the plunge and purchased 2 KRK Rokit-Powered G2 speakers to replace my 10 yr old Sony stereo for use with my computer. After 2 days, I am amazed at how much better they sound over the old stereo. Even out of the box, they sounded SO much more superior than any stereo I've heard. I...
