Here's my workflow to load my rockboxxed IHP 120 from my Ibook. Not as simple as with en Ipod but hey, it has optical out

!

- plug your ihp
- from itunes select the artist / album you want
- right-click : reveal in finder
- drag and drop artist or album folder to your IHP
- when it's full I run this small freeware to automatically clean all the . ans .DS-Store files : Finder Cleaner (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16996)
- and voilà. A clean and ready to sing IHP...

And btw I have some directories with spaces and it does not troubles my IHP !

Atchoum, sorry to hear about your iBook.

Time to upgrade.

PS: Actually, despite our new Macbook iMac and Apple TV with 802.11 network, We still have a working 600Mhz iBook for the kids running with OS 10.4.9, upgraded to 40gb, 384mb ram and CDRW/DVDROM. As long as they don't run more than 1-2 apps at a time, and don't have multiple users signed it it gets the job done. (We had to create a second 802.11g network for the iBook, PCs, Nintendo's and Airport express.)

if ~/test dir/ is the name of your directory:

cd 'test dir'
cd "test dir"
cd test\ dir

all work on my mac in bash.

noooooo, I missed the mail man today!

No one was home to sign for it so I have to wait for my h120 to come today.

But it's a good thing I guess, because if it came I would never get around to re-cabling my im716's (1 bad resistor somehow led to a recable and a paint job?)

ah yes my old ibook (1,2gh though, with and new hd and 1go ram....)... still runs 24/7 without any problem...

Before I upgrade it I need to :

- set up a decent transportable rig (to replace my ihp/px200 combo = stax sr-001 OR ibasso d1 + ??

OR

)

- find the best DAC to replace my modded yulong

- stop buying audio gear...

I did not know there was a player with an optical out. Very nice.

Shame, even 40GBs is nowhere near big enough for me. I always found it kind of ironic how the only DAP capable of doing justice to Lossless is limited.

Shame iRiver or no one else put in Optical-outs on all their DAPs, imagine 160GB players with them. I do not like iPoids but I'd buy a new one if it had Optical in a flash.

You can always upgrade the hard drive. 160gb HDDs will be available in a few months. They will probably be quite expensive though

So what do you think a still sealed in the cleaer plastic wrap box H140 is worth? Found one.

 

[PouncePony]

I have a brand new sealed H120 that I purchased 2 years ago (plus 3 used ones). I've bought and sold quite a few H120s and H140s on eBay - just for kicks.

I'm hoping the demand picks up and I'll liquidate the inventory.

[jinp6301]

holy shizzle, i paid about 170 for my 140 in impeccable condition!

 

[jonnywolfet]

interesting how the price of these fluctuates.

 

[drizek]

I remember I was planning on buying an h120 last year and they were going for $130 brand new on ebay. I got my h320 for around 180 shipped instead, and I am kinda regretting that decision now with the D1 out. At the time though, the only option was the microstack, and like hell I was going to pay for that/stick it in my pocket.

You mean untested, unburned-in and possibly DOA unit until you open it and find out?

$200 untested (gamble) $300 tested for working.
