| check out pandora I find both Pandora and Last.fm to be great for finding new music. On the Mac, the Last.fm player is invasive. Any time it opens, it resets the Audio Midi Setup to 2ch-16bit and 44.1Khz. (I like to up-sample iTunes to 48Khz to 96Khz). Last.fm also... | |
| Drone Zone on SomaFM - anyone listening? Another one to listen to: http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/ | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac 96kHz is only available on the newer Macs. I think that the newer Macs have the Crystal CS84xx which is actually the same chip used in a lot of high end DACs. | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac To upsample in iTunes on a Mac (running OSX 10.4.4), go to your applications folder, look in the Utilities subfolder, open up "Audio Midi Setup". Under Audio Output: format, you can upsample to 96,000 Hz. | |
| fantasti program for cataloging cd/lp collection I hope that Delicious Library does work for you, but I found it to be extremely slow and unstable. Very disappointing. I have been using a program called CD Pedia. It has all the features of Delicious Library, but it is solid as a rock and I can s... | |
| High End User Interface for PC Audio Personally, I think that the Apple Powerbooks are as elegant as anything put out by the high end audio crowd (and in a different league than most PCs)I have a Power Mac G5 that is loaded with Apple lossless files playing through my DAC and Monoblo... | |
| Best Guitar CD Recording On my system, one of the top sounding recordings period is the FIM "Flamenco Passion" by Gino d"auri mentioned above. Also: "300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces" by Manuel Barrueco"58957: Bluegrass Guitar" by Tony Rice"6 and 12 String Guitars" by Leo... | |
| music to wake up vandy 5a subs Try the Bela Fleck song "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo' from the album by the same name. That song makes me break out in a grin every time. It is should do the trick to get the furniture and windowpanes shakin and vibratin. Let us know. . . | |

| Meditative Music for Quiet Concentration The genre known as "ambient" works great in the background while working. Minimal beat, very spacy. Either you like this stuff or you don't. There is a definitive list and a streaming server you can listen to here:http://sleepbot.com/ambience/Expl... | |

| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info I know the feeling of just wanting your data to be safe. I really don't want to have to re-rip all those CDs, let alone the impossibility of retaking ten thousand photos!I have my RAID set up as a local disk on my G5. In other words, I don't have ... | |
| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info Having had the RAID for over a month I just can't imagine doing without it, so it really is not overkill - just expensive! I can't help but think that an xServe G5 might be overkill for you if all you are looking for is a NAS solution. (It is a di... |
