Don't Ever Say Goodbye - Mose Allison. It's on iTunes. Very jazzy.

I have heard one dj play a song (and I'm not making this up) with the chorus "Get the f*** out of here". Not for the faint of heart.

Does anyone know, is it possible to access the iTunes site that is for the UK if you are not in the UK? (i.e. in the US?)

Whoever is in charge of the schedule needs to be more discerning. If someone is new, give them a half hour at the beginning of the night and then let someone who is more experienced, with better music play. We used to have a weekly event here that has since passed away and we used to encourage all c...

Just got mine, and have used it on my iMac, and agree, the difference on headphones is remarkable. It doesn't boost the volume like the Turtle Beach USB sound card. I haven't noticed such a difference on speakers - as it's supposed to simulate surround-sound , I imagine positioning of speakers woul...

I used it our "2nd Friday of the month" dance which is held at a Masonic Temple where the acoustics are horrendous. Before the lesson started, as an experiment, I played a song using my Turtle Beach sound card. Then played the same song using the Xmod. The difference was startling. I will ...

Well, the Xmod arrived yesterday and I am really surprised at the difference it makes. I have used my headphones and my smaller speakers at work and the difference is really noticeable. I dj every Wednesday night at our weekly swing venue and the sound system there is pretty awesome to begin with so...
