| Most annoying song, period. Sorry, Bette Midler—Apple spellcheck even works on proper names. | |
| Most annoying song, period. Bette Miller—Wind Beneath my Wings—Hands Down!Also, that song Whitney Houston horked off Dolly Parton...Remember the Original rule...no one has a better version than the original...thinking Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Lennon/McCartney, Bob Dylan... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox album art issue Thanks to user Sbleam for your suggestion. I did download that script from the Sonos site and got the artwork for about 30% of my albums. Since it's an iTunes script, I'd figured it'd work for my Squeezeboxes as well.However, it usually doesn't em... | |
| Nitty Gritty 1.5Fi vs. VPI HW16.5vs. Okki Nokki Thanks for the response. Truly awesome system, BTW, one of the best I've seen on Audiogon. My system is - uh - a bit simpler - Naim, Rega, Spendor. I've been toying with the idea of moving away from the Brits (say, Maggie 1.7's, obviously with dif... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox vs. Sonos Thanks again to the forum for all your opinions. Right now, though, no one system seems to have it all (hi-res support, easy-to-use GUI, true plug-n-play hardware compatibility, etc., etc.). So I'll wait this one out a bit more, and just keep ripp... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue One of the nice things about Audio MIDI Setup is that you can set sampling rates on the fly. I tried 16/44.1 (the default), then 16/48. To my surprise, 16/48 is better, and the difference is NOT subtle. | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue Correction to my last post--Audio MIDI Setup lets me choose only between 16/44.1 (Red Book) and 16/48, not 24/48. Connected DAC (via USB) is a Musical Fidelity V-DAC, which, according to specs, upsamples to 24/192, so it's not a DAC issue. I selec... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue Thanks again for all your posts. Just two more ?'s for the forum, one slightly off-topic.First, in the "As We See It" article in August 2010 Stereophile, John Marks alludes to iTunes having 24/96 capability. I only see 24/48 (from Audio MIDI Setup... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue Thanks for y'all's interest and patience with my windy problem description. Talked to my Apple tech re this; he concurs that the root cause lies within iTunes for Windows. Also talked to two Geniuses, one of whom had actually encountered a similar... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue Howdy again; thanks for all the responses.Per Shadorne's post, I've been using the Mac as reference for some time now. I've figured that was the best way to go, since I can move the iBook from one stereo to the other. The Dell is in my home office... |
