I recently moved my library over to jriver after using itunes for about two years (I'm on a pc). I found that a lot of the tags from the music I added way in the beginning did not transfer (missing BPM, comments, etc.), but songs added later on kept everything properly in the tags. My guess is that ...

I *think* the advice was to buy a cheap sound card and spend the extra money on girls instead.

A lot of this goes totally over my head, but there's some good reading about soundcards in there: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=41241.0

Kind of sounds like they're ripping you off and hoping that you'll be too "nice" to harass them about it.

I thought it might have been a Dr. Who reference.

For those with the mini turtle beach usb sound cards, do they disable the internal sound when you plug them in?

In iTunes, I have used the "grouping" field to mark the songs that I would consider for djing, so this goes into the actual MP3 tag. It does? I lost all my grouping info when I switched to jriver... or maybe it's because "grouping" isn't a standard field that other media players...

I've recently switched over to jriver media centre and have noticed that the ripper is very slow (generally around 5x speed). itunes generally goes around 16x for me, even at high quality. Does anyone have quality comparisons for jriver? How about speed? Lawrence made some comparisons with itunes an...

I've seen some science articles for implanted "earphones" before. Some sort of experimental treatment for the deaf, where the devices are attached either to a damaged drum or near the ear-bones themselves.

Battery powered? I don't recall seeing too many "big" systems outside of boomboxes that run on battery power... the only one that comes to mind is this one: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... sku=600315

I'm starting to add tags to all my music. After a recent computer crash and a decision to move away from itunes (I use j.river now), my music library is kind of a blank slate. I used to have a bunch of old playlists and category lists that I would use to help pick songs while dj'ing. Working without...

I know the passports don't seem to get much love here, but the Passport 150 is on sale right now for almost half price: http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Passport-1 ... B0002KZQ20

So we start with a helmet, attach a display visor and headphones, stick a hard drive dock at the back... oh, and don't forget two beer holders on either side.

There is a lot of industry attention on low cost, low power, small form factor computers. I'd wait and see what's around it the fall when there's a little more competition. I've been reading a bit of techbuzz over new types of hard drives and batteries that are supposed to be much smaller as well. ...
