    tiny pauses between songs

    hmm, i tried setting up foobar (followed guide on ubernet.org), and found i really didn't like it much. didn't give it much of a chance, though. is it really that great? i'm a definite fan of itunes layout, i also like the winamp layout. but as i have an ipod, i use itunes (ml_pod, ipod plugin...

    When I try to listen to pink floyd's The Wall or Dark Side of the Moon (ripped with eac and lame standard vbr), there are tiny pauses in between the tracks when played in itunes or on my ipod. is there any way to remove these pauses? they may be tiny but these albums are continuous music, one...

    kx vs Youp Pax

    all links to newest youp pax drivers and the optional (and recommended) "software package" are dead or slower than / as slow as dial-up. anybody have any links? can anybody vouch for these drivers' quality, especially next to kx?

    kx vs Youp Pax

    So I use the kx drivers with my sb live! 5.1 sound card, but i have heard that the youp pax drivers are just as good for music, less difficult to use, and work very well in games (kx aren't great there). so my question is, which should i use? how do i learn more about youp pax drivers? are...

    high quality open headphones

    i'll probably get the px100s, cause i know they can be easily driven by an ipod. how would the 555s work with an ipod and no amp?

    high quality open headphones

    i've been reading around on headroom, and think that the sennheiser px100 looks best. $50, great sound, works great with ipod, open-air (an absolute necessity for me, i can't do closed, my family communicates by yelling up and down the stairs cause we're in a pretty big house). i'd love to get...

    high quality open headphones

    'm looking for some nice headphones. They will be used with a diskman, an ipod, and my computer, mainly for music listening (i listen to all genres except metal and techno, mainly classical and classic rock) and some movie watching, occasional gaming (cs:s, jedi academy, wc3). they must be...

    configuring kx drivers

    i have an sb live! 5.1 sound card and the latest kx drivers installed. i like the drivers (i've had 'em for months, no issues), but i have heard that i can make the sound even better by tweaking the settings correctly. As anyone who has tried the kx drivers before will know, this tweaking is...

    optical drive woes, want to flash firmware

    i have three optical drives, one is a new external plextor dvd-burner which works great, and the other two came with my gateway 2.5 years ago. i am sure that there are newer firmware versions for them that might make them a bit more reliable and generally better functioning. one, the more...

    drivers for an sb live! 5.1

    because the kx drivers are suppossed to have much higher sound quality. i think i'll disregard the possibility of using the youp-pax drivers, i've heard enough horror stories on other forums

    drivers for an sb live! 5.1

    alright, so there are way too many drivers to choose from for my new sound blaster live! 5.1 sound card. there are the creative official drivers, the kx drivers, and the youp-pax drivers. i have heard the creative drivers are really bad, so i want to use one of the suppossedly better...

    usb headset

    why aren't newegg comments worth anything? what's WRT gear? and why aren't usb headsets worth it? what headphones would you recommend if not this headset? if possible, i would like a built-in microphone for cs and skype

    usb headset

    the idea behind buying the usb headset is that i won't also have to buy a soundcard. currently i am running crappy (and i really mean crappy) stereo speakers i got with my gateway computer two and a half years ago with onboard ac97 sound. can't really get any worse. i need to spend the least...

    usb headset

    in looking into a mid-range gaming soundcard and mid-high end headphones(for cs and lots of music of different types) that are either stereo or 5.1 surround, i came across a newegg link to this Plantronics DSP-500 usb headset, which uses a built-in dsp and alledgedly (spelling?) is very good.

    Alienware rules, 'nuff said.
