    Disk Catalog Software?

    It's kinda weird that I'm asking this, since I'm usually the first to pipe up when someone asks about a "CD Profiler" or other music cataloging software ... However, I'm looking for software that will catalog discs, specifically data CDs. I want to be able to pop in the disc, scan it and...

    Scratchy sound through Sony SACD > Headphones. Will amp/receiver help?

    I have a dedicated HT downstairs and, in my office, a lone Sony SACD (SCD-CE775) player. With the SACD player, I use only headphones right now, as I'm not been ready to invest in a receiver/speakers/etc just yet. My headphones are Sennheiser HD-495s and I use a HeadRoom TotalAirHead amp to power...

    What episode of MST3K was on Sci-Fi this morning? (Jan 11)

    I only caught the last 45 minutes or so and it was hilarious. The movie was awful. It was a sci-fi film on a spaceship with a bad guy named something like Kalgon ("take me away!") The good guy was this big blond dude running around in a wife-beater undershirt. And the end credits had cheesy 80s...

    Cannot delete file in Windows 2000 Pro

    This is the darndest problem. I think I have a corrupt NTFS file system but I'm not sure. My hard disc is partitioned into two drives: C and D. C is where the OS (Windows 2000 Pro with SP3) and program files are. D is where I keep my data. Over the weekend, I reformatted the C drive and...

    How much longer can The Onion milk it?

    Tuesday night or Wednesday morning usually brings about a new issue of The Onion. Tonight I went to the home page, gazed over the article titles and let out a sigh. The same basic stuff they've continued to write is there again. The humor pieces seem to have a few basic models that are...

    What upgrades will increase performance on my PC?

    I have a Dell desktop PC that isn't the quickest. I'd like to know if it's worth upgrading or if the money I spend will result only in small gains in performance. I do *alot* of CD burning. I'm not a hard-core gamer at all, but I do enjoy playing some games. Playing at the top resolution with...

    CD/RW drive pauses for 2 minutes before burning

    This is really strange .... Starting yesterday, when I burn an audio CD using Feurio on my laptop, the drive will pause for approx. 2 minutes and 10 seconds prior to burning the CD. This is during the writing of the lead-in track. The status of the track goes all the way up to 100%. But the...

    Going to Amsterdam - what to do?

    Or, should I say, what not to do? ;) I'll be leaving for Amsterdam next week, staying for about a month. I'm going with some other crazy Americans who've been there before but I'm looking for recommendations on what to do while I'm over there? The best restaurants? The best "coffee" houses...

    El Topo - Will this ever be on DVD? and other questions.

    Yesterday, I finally saw El Topo for the first time. It was the first film I've watched on VHS in a long, long time. The film was fantastic; the videocassette was not. I believe it was a copy of a Japanese laserdisc, which I believe was cut; it also had the fogged pubic regions in a few...
