Tips for tagging classical rips?
Thanks for the comments. I guess I didn't even realize there is a separate "composer" field. Is that standard for tagged audio files, or is that an iTunes specific implementation? Anyone know? 
Tips for tagging classical rips?
Thanks Sufentanil... Nobody else ripping classical music? 
The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo
Onhwy61--I agree that the Olive represents an attempt to mask a computer with a more friendly face. I guess my problem is that for any moderately technically competent user--like most of the folks on A'gon--its hard to see the value proposition. F... 
The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo
Seems silly to me. How different is this from, say, the Escient products? I also think its kind of odd to spend that much on something that is a closed "black box" when you can easily replicate the functionality with known, best-of-class off the s... 
I fell victim to a scam
I got burned once on PP, but strangely so, and not through A'gon. Small amount of cash, but goods never sent, no contact from seller. I initiated a PP dispute and eventually they took money out of his account and put it back in mine--I only got ba... 
Apple Powerbook "Optical Digital Out"
I believe the jack actually is outfitted so that there is a optical driver in the center of what would be the pin--its a multipurpose connector. So, you should just be able to get an optical connector outfitted one of those or get an adapter... 
Advantage to receiver with HDMI?
Or you could just buy a standalone HDMI switch...Muzikat, HDMI = DVI + Coax Digital, more or less. Small form factor connector. 
dolby digital to pcm stereo to coaxial dig outpu
Had a similar issue with Comcast. My horrible solution was a Ratshack A/D converter, running the stereo output into that and then into my digital preamp--had huge problems with the threshold trigger on that thing... during low passages, it would s... 
Mass .WAV compression utility?
Have you ever tried cold extracted coffee? During the summertime, that is probably my drink of choice. Basically, you let about 9 cups of water sit in a pound of ground coffee for about 24 hours, and then filter it several times--Toddy makes a dev... 
Mass .WAV compression utility?
I like the idea of the coffee machine next to the bed... Maybe the thing to do is to put the espresso station in the master bathroom or something, as long as the toilet is in a separated area... Hmmm...I actually don't drink that much in the way o... 
Audiophile USB to PCM
I'll try it, but my recollection is that it has no effect. Think it might even be grayed out. 
Mass .WAV compression utility?
I'll agree with you on the built-in espresso machines--never saw one that I wanted. I'm running a Salvatore semi-auto. I manually fill it and manually empty the tray, but think the whole plumbed in lines thing would be cool... I just want a little... 
Mass .WAV compression utility?
I didn't actually use iTunes to rip, but EAC has something I'm guessing is similar--"Various Artists Naming." FBOW, it drops the tracks into the same artist/album/song.wav format, but that results in a large number of directories that are populate... 
Audiophile USB to PCM
Audioengr-The Waveterminal does have a driver, but after poking around, I think its limited to 24/96 output tops, and I believe the 96 may, in fact, be an internal upscaler. I think, if I read right, that its 44.1/48 only.Oh well... It still sound...

If I had to do it over again...1. I think I'd be more diligent about filling in album release date information when ripping.2. While I organized later rips as:[Drive:]/My Music/[Artist]/[Album]/[Trk_Title].wavI really should have done:[Drive:]/My ...
