Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This?
I'll preface this by saying I'm an iPod newbie to some degree myself, but what you are looking to do is exactly how I load music on my iPod. When I first installed iTunes I set the compression ratios to WAV and made iTunes my default audio player ... 
Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs
FZ by far, but my biases are well known. Comfortably Numb is an all-time favourite, jeez the list has been well covered already. How about some new guitar riffs, something more recent? Tom Moriello does some really fun stuff, check out "The Battle... 
what cover versions are better than the original
I have a few that come to mind:David Bowie's cover of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" is awesome, his vocal range finally does the song justice. Pick up a copy of Bowie's "Tonight" album and see if you agree. For some odd reason I really dig the ... 
Review: 2004 Acura TL XM/CD/DVD-Audio System
Interesting review, it sounds like Acura has done some work improving their system. I have a 2001 3.2 Type S, I absolutely love the car but hate the Bose stereo. The worse part is it's damned near impossible to remove the stock unit and replace wi...

Hi John,Been there, and will be back shortly. Yes the 100v Japanese stuff will work at home but as you know, it's a two-prong plug rather than our three-prong power cords, this may (or may not) be an issue with your insurance company should there ... 
$200 or less 8' Run - Zu WAX, AP, Singal, Others?
At the recommendation of a friend I bought a pair of Zu WAX bi-wire cables to use in my main system between my BATVK-500 amplifier and Eminent Technology LFTVIII speakers. My friend warned me Zu cables take a long long time to break in so I bought...

Hi there,I've been trying to get folks interested in the Hip here on the 'Gon. Glad to see a fellow Hip fan, they are one of the best live acts I've seen. I'd strongly recommend "Day for Night" as their best ever (My favourite Hip tune is Nautical...

Please help an aging, music deprived mom

Every new substance is a candidate isolation tool
