    iPod Without Computer? A Couple of Questions Re: DRM

    My friend Joe recently purchased an iPod Nano but before loading it with music, his computer died. To make matters worse, he recently had a heart attack and is recovering at home. I'm trying to figure out if I can possibly load his iPod with music from another friend, who has iTunes and an...

    Ever Find White Looking Worms In Your Coffee?

    Is it somehow possible that the worms were post-Folgers? Such as in the filter, or stuck to the coffee pot itself? I've also seen little guys occasionally in old things rarely used, but half an inch is quite large...

    Zune WMA Lossless Files- Can They Be Converted To iPod?

    I have had it with my Zune. The latest firmware 'upgrade' has led to a total F#$&*#@ of the files on my computer. Other ones have caused me to have to reload my Zune in it's entirety- an 11 hour process. It also lacks any audiophile accessories/mods that are available for Apple products...

    Digital Camera With QUICK Response Time?

    I currently own an Olympus digital camera vintage 2004. I hate how long it takes between shutter press and actual photo taken. My various film SLR's seem lightening fast in comparison. I am looking to get a much quicker camera, and am willing to pay for minimal shutter lag. The Canon G9...

    Help - Remote Control That Works Thru Cabinets (for Newbie)

    I work as an A/V installer, so here are my extended thoughts- I think what the poster means by RF is a remote system that sends and receives RF through the cabinet, and a base station inside that converts the RF to IR. The base station then sends the IR via an emitter that is attached to the...

    help identifying a set of medical symptoms

    It sounds to me like nerve impingement in her neck- her symptoms are exactly like mine. Sometimes I can't even shut off the alarm clock because my hand is just completely numb. Most times though, I am awakened by the numbness and/or pain well before the alarm. I was diagnosed with several...

    Please List Your Personal Faves That You Think Should Have Been Big

    I just know there is a lot of great music out there waiting for me, but I just haven't heard it... Between Amazon, Itunes, and other outlets, I'm looking forward to sampling what's out there. Let me state emphatically that this is not a 'they don't make good music anymore' thread. I believe...

    Any Zune Users Out There? Some Questions...

    I already own a Zune; so this is not an iPod vs Zune thread... I have several songs on my Zune with very offensive language, and I often work outside with the unit on shuffle all. Is there a way to flag these 5 or 6 songs so they will never play unless I specifically access them or put them...

    I have followed him for almost 15 years- a great stand-up comic. Sad to see him go.

    We have an Elan music server, and are trying to import iTunes music in AAC format- the Elan piece does MP3... What is the best way to proceed? Thanks for any assistance.

    Video over cat5

    We do it for component video and the picture seems fine after the balun conversion. There are times when running new wires is not feasible, and you must use what's already in place... I should add that the maximum screen size I've seen it on is 50"- I would imagine that larger screens may...

    Annoying sound effects...

    Count me in- I also can't stand that effect. It does take away a little from the music, but more annoying is how loud it is versus the music.

    Ascend Questionable Warranty Inquiry Response

    My first thoughts when reading the initial post were that it is almost always TWEETERS that are blown when an amplifier clips, and WOOFERS blow when there is too much clean power applied beyond the speaker's limit. So, I just wonder whether the clipping issue is truly to blame. In 35 years...

    Passenger Air Bag Question-or- How Much Does Your Significant Other Weigh?

    So... When I picked up the car, they said that the airbag system was functioning properly, though they did take the seat out to correct a rattling sound I was hearing. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to give it the "wife" test yet. Maybe taking out the seat helped in some way. We'll see...

    ir room volume control

    Elan sells one, and I suppose more available is Russound. In addition to the speaker wire, you'll need to run either Cat5 or some other wire type to the remote control location, as these electronic type controls require power. Elan uses an RJ-45 plug-in for power. Other brands may only require...

    Passenger Air Bag Question-or- How Much Does Your Significant Other Weigh?

    Well- the car is at the dealer. After looking at the problem, they need to take the seat out to fix whatever it is. I feel better now. Maybe that woman should not be answering the phone. They gave me a loaner vehicle and I should have the car back later today. Now if only my stereo dealer...

    FM Frequency Not Showing Up in Roady XT Menu?

    Yes- the manual says it should be a menu item, yet it does not appear. However, that was several days ago, and I haven't checked on it since. I'll go over later and post back or call XM if it is still an issue...

    Internet Sales vs. Brick and Mortar

    "But I don't mind paying a small premium for excellent service" Neither do I. That was my whole point. But I got far from excellent service on each occasion. But, as usual, my fellow HTF members have set me down the righteous path. I will find another local dealer and see how it goes. Rant...

    Internet Sales vs. Brick and Mortar

    It has occurred to me, as I await my new Monitor Audio RS8's, what an idiot I am for trying to support my local dealer. If I were to order something online or by phone, I would have a tracking number or verbal assurance as to when it would arrive. Instead, I overpay at my dealer, then get...
