Re: CD mixes that won't play on some players....
What is it that makes my CD mixes play on some CD players, but do not play on other players? There are several reasons that a burned CD might not play on a particular CD player. If you are burning a "music" CD, the best advice is to change your burning options to burn slower. CDR's burned...

So, is PCMCIA/ExpressCard a better way to get data to a device than USB or something? (I'm trying to figure out why Echo designed for those but not for USB.) PCMCIA was a standard interface for laptops before USB. It has generally fallen out of favor, and is losing to multi function media card read...

In general, this means using good quality sources for your music, higher bit rate mp3s (192kbps or higher seems to be preferred), and an external sound card. You lost me there. All my music comes from CDs. I have no idea what happens to it after I import the songs into iTunes (can you please direct...

Should I be worried about the sound quality? Yes and no. Yes: You should improve the things under your control until you reach the point of diminishing returns. In general, this means using good quality sources for your music, higher bit rate mp3s (192kbps or higher seems to be preferred), and an e...

So what I would like to know is the pros and cons of each one of those (jriver media center, mediamonkey, and foobar2000). Just the thought of trying them all until I find one that I like is overwhelming for me :oops: The capabilities of those three programs will be similar. If you had specific req...

I'd avoid HP hardware. I've had too many friends encounter issues with HP PCs. Do not get too caught up in comments like this. There are really only a couple of tiers of laptop quality anyway (since all the guts are common to every laptop to begin with). There is a big difference in the quality and...

Re: Strategies for reducing treble harshness on 1930s tracks
I take it this spectrogram was run against the entire song? No. As pointed out following your post, Audacity will only profile about 20-ish seconds of a song. In the case of that graph, I selected about 16 beats of bass heavy material from a modern bass heavy pop song (the graph is labeled as such ...
