  6. I have a few songs here and there that were either ripped before going to E.A.C./dbPoweramp/etc, or were too scratched to rip in said programs, and were done in iTunes. It sounds like the CD is skipping, only you're listening to a digital file on your computer. Thats actually why I started using E.A.C. in the first place. Way back when, iTunes would only do one pass at each track. Hopefully they've wised up since then, but I dont know.

  8. Tried yet again to get the 24" CRT monitor I bought on ebay to work No way on Earth I'm shipping this back. I'd rather take the financial hit.
  9. I remember when I first bought my iphone last july. Playing music and surfing would always result in a crash back to the home screen. They fixed it about 2 weeks later or so. They'll probably fix some things soon, if history is any indicator.
  10. I'd double that figure, personally.
  11. (^^ not my phone.) May want to hold off on getting a 3G iphone. Maybe Apple will use a different formula for their plastic
  12. I'm not on a mac (yet) but I go between Foobar 2k and iTunes. Sometimes I prefer the former, other times the latter. If I playback music while gaming, it tends to break up if played in iTunes. I usually dont have that problem w/ Foobar. I guess there's just a whole lot more going on in iTunes, and probably a different buffer length. I don't remember if I've ever tampered with that in iTunes. I know everyone else on PC seems to hate iTunes, but its still got the best tagging functionality I've experienced. And I've found cover flow to be quite addicting. Oh and USB2.0 for me.

  14. Had a P.O.S. Sanyo boombox back in middle school. My first CD player. It made lots of noise spinning the discs, and the entire thing was cheap plastic. I knew there had to be something better out there. I didn't know about 'component' audio systems, and couldn't afford a bigger boombox, so I tried some Sony earbuds and a walkman. Fast forward a few weeks and here I am with a vacuum tube-based headphone system
  15. Watched it w/out sound. I heard that guy on the radio one day. There's only two or three people in the United States that can do this, because it is incredibly dangerous.
  16. It was. But I needed the money
  17. Yeah, this isnt the 'audiophile' stuff, but it sounds just as good as anything I've heard from Hoffman, albeit with channel drop out on a few tracks. I think the original was recorded in the 40's, so it was pretty old by the time Steve began to work with it. Luis gets credit for hipping me to this, also.
  18. Amazon.com: Portrait of Pee Wee: Pee Wee Russell: Music "Used and new from $2.49"
  19. The best chest workout I ever had was raking several acres worth of soggy leaves in the fall for a neighbor. It was several weeks worth of leaves, and they were all soaking wet. I could barley drag the bags to the front of the yard for pickup without breaking them. The entire process took at least 3 or 4 days, and I was extremely sore by the end, right in the center of my chest. My arms hurt too, but nothing like my chest.
  20. I think the Pee Wee Russell was $7 or $8 used
  21. I like the DCC for Queensryche's Empire album. Also the self titled Bad Company (though not DCC, its another newer label, who's name escapes me at the moment: If you're into jazz at all, some of the DCC editions can be had for much cheaper than the rock variety. Like the Oscar Peterson Trio's "West Side Story", which is an astounding recording. DCC also had Steve Hoffman material for 'non-gold' editions. This one I have, and cherish, perhaps even more so than the Oscar Peterson noted above: The Pee Wee Russell album is laughably affordable.
