I've had my mp3 players connected to my vintage sansui by phono in, to speaker by speaker out and to sub by pre-out. supposedly, using the phono in is a big wrong action and i should use aux in? why is that true and what kind of damage will it do to leave it the way i have it? how should i...

i accidentally demolished my database in the database explorer panel when i wanted to refresh the listing. i wanted to change it to a different set of music so i right clicked on 'all music' and selected remove from database or something. now when i drag and drop my new music into the panel it...

Hi, I don't know where this question belongs, and I don't visit any tech forums; I hope you guys can still help me though! On one computer I partitioned a 40GB hd into a primary and an 8gb logical drive, both in fat32. I did this so I could transfer all of my data to the logical drive D: and...

hi, sorry this is a dumb question but i cant seem to figure it out or find the information- how do i install a patch to rockbox? i have the scrollling text for wps patch in a .diff file and don't know what to do with it! thanks if you can help.

What are people's experiences with musicbrainz? Has it gotten better? I remember how inaccurate it used to be when I used it in the past. It was more trouble than anything. Has anyone used the Helium music manager one? It supposedly uses a more official (as in not user submitted) database...

Does anyone know if something like this can be purchased and applied to a dap screen to make it more visible and brighter? http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/e...er/output_html For something like the X5 where the screen is completely pointless without the backlight on, this could remedy...

So what is the best available aftermarket warranty for dap's that are still left? It seems that viking kicked the bucket. How is Mack? They have a 3 year service plan for 25 at buydig, but the ease and dependability of their service, though quite old, has remained incredibly ambiguous somehow...

To those interested, if you have a cambridge soundworks store near you, tomorrow (Thursday) and tomorrow only, the Zen 20GB PMP is being sold at $199 from it's $449 original pricetag. I don't know anything about the unit but seems like a great deal for a PMP if anyone is curious. Also, lots of...

If any of you have checked out amazon's marketplace sellers, there is one small retailer called msbooknook that is selling this listed as NEW for just $199. They do, however, only have 14 ratings but 4.0 stars out of 5.... does this look risky to anyone? Like that isn't good enough- they list in...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any news on when and whether the x5 or x5l players will ever be carried by major national chains like Best Buy. Actually, BB would be great, since I have a replacement plan there, but anywhere local is also great. I've never heard about iaudio products being...

Hi, I have been curious about grados for awhile and wanted your opinions. I appreciate my ATH-500's more than any other headphone I have ever listened to, but they are a little big and warm in the summer, and have never owned an open air pair. Would either the SR60's or the MS1's share similar...

I do not have the financial means to get a dedicated amp and my computer's usb soundcard offers only really low level sounds (but incredibly clean for a source though weak and bass-less) so I got the idea to dig up my old minidisc recorder that I can use to boost the signal a bit. Considering...

Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to sync a karma with a pc where the karma deletes files on its harddrive that are not present on the pc. I deleted a lot of music from my computer and I was hoping I wouldnt have to pick through the same music and delete them from my karma...

can anyone describe exactly how much sound they leak? i do not mind sound leaking in, i want them to hear my surroundings. but at normal volumes off a portable, how far away can my music be heard? also, i do not know how to use this search to find picture files. are there any pictures of...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with speakers by Technics. I found some Technics SB-K14 large speakers, they have three diaphrams in each speaker. Anyone know anything about this model or about related Technics models? Search didnt reveal much, nor google.Thanks.
