| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 Tvad-While I agree that d/l mp3s wasn't the question presented, the takeaway is that the RIAA is *very* vigilant about enforcing its perceived rights, and if there was a way that they could go after people merely for storing their own ripped CDs, ... | |
| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 I'm not sure you can really say there is "no teeth" when the RIAA is out there suing people for downloading mp3s. The legal issue, if I remember a prior thread on this correctly, is that the act of copying is either fair use or not, and today's co... | |
| Cable box to outboard DAC Some (not very many) support PCM out of the digital output. A lot of them also can be software configured for specific cable companies. So, its kind of hard to tell whether your RCA digital output can be fed into a two-channel DAC or not. Most can... | |
| The WORST Components for Rock and Pop Music Martin Logans... Loved the way they sounded with piano, vocals... But, they made Fugazi sound polite. Had to get rid of them. | |
| How's your music library? You can always do like John Cusack in High Fidelity and organize them "autobiographically."My collection of 1500+ CDs is digitized and pretty well tagged. I can click on a button and organize 'em by title, by artist, by genre. ;) | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition I'm with Jb8312. I audition them in the car *after* I get 'em. ;) | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 CWL, just to follow up... Glenn at ATechFabrication delivered my case right in line with the timeframes on the site. It fits right in amidst the other anodized black aluminum plate gear on the shelf, which happens to be some ARC gear and some Thet... | |
| ARC Amp Experts... I've got a couple D240IIs (bridged, driving ProAc RS2s), a D400II (driving Infinity Kappa 8s), a pair of VT100IIIs horizontally bi-amping ProAc 3.8s), and a VT60 holding down some paper in my study. Surely, Dave, when you say "heavier," you weren'... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 I've recently put in the orders for my new workhorse PC, although its not really intended for HD or audio duty. I bought a Core2 capable motherboard, the ASUS P5WDH Deluxe, but am probably going to run a Prescott until the delivery and pricing of ... | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? Hmm... I'm intrigued by the wireless USB hub. I don't think I'd worry about UWB as a RF technology--its a very, very low level signal; we are talking about impulses here. Anyway, I have a hard time believing your are going to get interference prob... | |
| Absolutely worst LP that you own & enjoy? The Ravyns by the Rayvns... "Raised on the Radio" is a total guilty pleasure. And This World, by Facedancer, with the great "Time Bomb" track. What can I say, I went to high school around Baltimore in the late 70s... | |

| iTunes and WAV file handling This is not a "known issue with tags in wav files," it is a known issue with wav files not supporting tagging. MM creates a database that associates metadata with files, but it is a database unique to MM. It can't be exported.The difference is tha... | |
| ExactAudioCopy ripping software I actually keep mine in Apple Lossless format, and get about 2:1 compression. I use a little thing called iTunesEncode, which calls iTunes from EAC to rip. I thought about FLAC, but I figured it was safer to use Apple Lossless in terms of Apple's ... | |
