Everyone running windows, please read!!
Today marks a great day. Today, windows started to not suck as much as it has always sucked before today.
www.apple.com I suggest you download it immeadiatly and enjoy a slice of the kickass experience of Apple software. It is a superior Mp3 player to winamp in EVERY single way imagineable. Try it. You'll dig it. - Rob |

I heard about that...I'll give it a try someday.
Maybe, if iTunes is so awesome, Apple will someday go the route of Sega and just make good sfotware.

It's great. Easy to use. Looks nice. you can lump all your music in the library, then just type "Chi" and it'll bring up all your chili pepper music, stuff like that. Seriously, give it a good go, you will not be dissapointed.

I'm willing to agree Apple makes some good products.
However, MP3 sucks. I've even tried ripping at 320 from original source CDs, and it's pretty obvious that music is stripped on both ends by the compression algorithm - and I don't even come close to having "golden ears". |

I still play vinyl, on a turtable. Why? Because I can.

i use Windows Media Player.
if i want to listen to music at home, i burn it to a CD and put it in my stereo system. no, my computer is not networked into my audio system. i have a 300 disc changer, so my audio library is in there. i'm gonna need another changer real soon, though. Lee, get a Stebro exhaust and you won't know the difference in quality with the MP3's.

You're right John. Vinyl has the original analog signal but CD's need to be digitized. When they are digitized some "clipping" occurs to the highest and lowest frequencies. Many of these frequencies cannot be "heard" but their abscence definately changes the "feel" of the music.

Hi Steve
I am going to put a turntable in the SVX Ha Ha And then park it. Does the quality of a CD go down as it is copied and then the copy is copied and then that copy is copied? Do all the CD/computers read and write at the same rate?

You're right. A good quality record on a top notch shaft-driven turn table is going to give you a more true sound reproduction than a CD or any other Digital Media.

It's really about the settings used. If done correctly, copied cd's should not lose any quality. Done correctly=slow burn speed, with no other applications running. When the speed is too fast, the disc will have many imperfections (I have found that anything 8x or less will play in the SVX, anything more will skip). Other applications will take away the memory that cd burning software needs, causing it to skip certain pieces of data. An actual cd recorder (like from a home stereo) should have no loss of quality at all. As far as I know all cd players read at the same rate, but some have stronger/higher quality lasers that will enable them to read better. Just about every cd-rom/dvd-rom/cd-rw drive will have different speeds, but it has no real effect besides how fast things load (as far as I know of).
P.S. A turntable in the SVX would be sweet.

There are no voice command plugins for apple's player, there are plugins for winamp. Moving a mouse and typing keys, how archaic. Ask Earl and Lwin, they've seen the voice controlled home automation and AV control system I have running. I just added a HDTV Tuner and PVR with DVD writing. I can record two HDTV shows simultaneously and watch a third. Plus it is all voice controlled Only thirty minutes of HD 1080i fit on a 4.7GB DVD Doug

check out SACD (super audio CD) or DVD audio for better quality.
