So now we are ALL illegal!!

So you thought just ripping off copies of MP3 was our only problem. This link to the PRODJ.COM site tells us that even DJ'ing from store bought CD's is ILLEGAL. "THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!"

That Numark Mixer could be very nice. It actually has two USB inputs so you could run two cables to it and completely bypass your internal sound card. Thus being able to monitor using the mixers headphone connection and volume control.

How much is it going for?

Does this mean you are using a 2-prong to 3 prong adapter or not? I have seen that little 69 cent item fix similar problems several times.

I must admit I once played a kazoo with a band one night in San Jose. I was there on a business trip and after many Adult Beverages we went to a club with a live band. In my intoxicated state, I had become facinated by one of my business associates Kazoo that she happened to have in her handbag. I w...

We need an amp, a small mixer, a wireless mic with enough range to cover a 200 yard by 100 yard room and possibly two floorstanding speakers and all the wiring to tie them together. We have 1500 dollars. YOU HAVE A 600 FEET by 300 FOOT BALLROOM? THAT'S 180,000 SQ FT. Are you sure you're not talking...

Another point is if some people are so up in arms against record companies not get the money for ripped songs then you should also be up in arms agains people buying only used CD's because the record companies do not get the money from that either. Yeah, this has always been a question mark in my m...

I picked up the Helen Hume's CD of the same name in New Orleans. It's a fun little live version with Buddy Tate on Sax and Jay McShann on Piano

What's your default player app?

I was wondering what you use as a default MP3 player on your computer. When you just want to listen to something real quick while you are looking thru a file folder. So in Windows, it's what app do you associate with MP3's. I have been using Real Player, because it loads quickly, but it obviously do...

I have to take back my recommendation of PCDJ Blue. The new released version "PCDJ Blue VRM" removed some features which were very handy. Like a preview player. And it has become a resource pig for Cute little Compaq tablet I use. So I'm hot for BPM Studio. If I can just justify the $500 p...

I downloaded the Winpck tool and pointed it to a file I found to be bad last week and it checked out fine. So, I am not sure what it is checking, but it did not find this file to be bad and it skips all over the place. I suppose it could have been a problem with the file coming off of the CD and not...
