eue de vie!!!!!!!

after noting what your losing , instead of installing SS wait , and download and run a memory checker you might have a bad memory module. It will store certain files in RAM during installs and ini.exe that is an initiation file ....... yu may have a bad mem , that is what I am thinking at this point .

LOL , you need two arms for body surfing , my left arm is useless right now (which means no guitar playing either ,..... that sux)

Actually in the terms of agreement TDK has an OPT OUT available , and it ISNT a buyout , just the use of the Name , so sitting back and looking at it from a different view , TDK hasnt been doing all that well in recent years , while Imation has basically exploded . TDK is an Old name with a long history in Recording media and other ascpects , 260 million isnt that much money and the plan is for 25 years , with a 1 year wind down . It sounds more like an Investment / Redirect than it is a Buyout . That means fresh input for TDK and a leg up in Broadening markets, Imation gets the USE of TDK's stable manufacturing processes without having to own it , and TDK gets the USE of Imations Market foundation without having advertise itself or push beyond it's boundaries .............. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when this deal was being discussed.

If you notice the paragraph , under the checkbox , it mentions "if there is noise in the recording after import " that would imply what is called "Dithering" which is like Antialiasing in video , It turns on "Dither" to compensate for "Digital Noise" or low level artifacts in the conversion process.

seems like no one wants to believe me when I tell about the bugs in Vista, sorry to hear it happened to you Bob . My back is getting a little better , so I can get to those repairs and make some money . If you can get XP on to that machine , or better yet , Win2000 pro , it will be a screaming machine , but Vista , .......... It is causing SOOOOO many probs , and on the Tech sites I go to and the people I know are all saying the same thing , "Leave Vista Alone " it is not ready yet . Give it 6 more months and hope that all the hackers dont have it completely taken apart by then.

21 pages , not Topics , PAGES of topics where iPods are mentioned in one way or another ,each topic having a Buttload of pages itself , Still dont get it ?

definately send it back.

As a reporter , you were probably using it everyday right? , and what is the Climate like in Senegal ? A Lot of Moisture ? Extremely dry ?Heat etc. a Lot of bouncing , hard weather climates , combine with daily abuse ( not said in a bad way ) of that type of work , might have something to do with it .

In the search window up top , where you search the ENTIRE forum base , type in "iPod" or DAP and see what happens. It would have to be the girlfriend

I have a Mac , I have had PC 's I luv Cassette ( still mad at myself for selling my WM-D6C Pro ) All I am saying is the MD forums should be about MD , and helping people get info ABOUT md , how WE use MD , Mics and accessories for the MD , etc , Make a specific sub forum just for Bashing iPoods , MP3 or DAP's or for the praise of them, but the general board space , should be MD I am eyeballing the Creative Zen Stone plus...... oops !

See ... , Now THIS is what the MD forums are supposed to be about.

Well according to that statement then this wont be the MD forums much longer , my point is that this is SUPPOSED to be about MD .... And everything done with , tips triks etc , now it is just a big argument about iPOOODS ,DAP's , MP3's , and anything BUT MD

As for the iPOOD discussion, Right now I am listenig to Bruce Hornsby , Harbour Lights , that I did an Optical Copy some years ago , and I am playing it on a Sony MZ-R5ST ( the Station dock model , just before the R50) analouge line out from the docking station , to a set of Edirol MA-10D Digital monitors. I have had my guitar students iPod connected the same way , and the difference is night and day , This is an OLDER MD deck with no LP mode but it does have 20 bit A/D D/A conversion , and there is no way an iPod will ever come close to this sound . this is the MD communty forums , and recently it has turned into every discussion but what we do with our MD's there is more talk of DAP's and MP3 players , than about MD , and its getting to be a little disouraging

Try it without the remote , see what happens , if it works without the remote , the processor might be going , I have a Sony 505 player that, will play with out the remote, but if i put any remote on it ,it will play a song and stop halfway thru and just shut down , also does it with headphones of a different value , if I use headphones higher than 24 ohms value , it will shut off, if I use 16 ohm ear buds it will play all day . I think it is a similar phenom to the 1rst gen Macbook RSS ( Random Shutdown Syndrome) where ther was to little space between the processor and another part of the circuit , the processor would get hot and swell by a micrometer , and touch the other circuit , BAM the whole system went down.

ouch ok , dont know what to tell you , Switch from NCH doesnt convert ATRAC to mp3 but it will convert all kinds of other stuff. I dont know of any other conversion software that will go straight from ATRAC to mp3

notice your comment "Some Virus's" that doesnt cut it , there are 140,000 active viruses , 300,000 floaters out there , plus loads of spyware , adware , malware . Norton isnt as bad as Macaffee , but it isnt all that good , They do not actively seek out viruses in order to take them apart find the flaw or break in them , they wait for a virus to be found out about , then issue a rewired patch for an older virus hoping it will work . Macaffee invades your entire system , and bogs it down , and doesnt catch the viruses, they get thru . It is partly what is incorporated into the Vista security system , whereas unless you disable it , you have to go thru a buttload of klik and close to do anything. action - Allow or Deny that gets old . XP running AVG , and Spybot Search and Destroy , plus a properly setup firewall , and cloaked ports and a non static IP , your invisible updates from AVG are daily not weekly or monthly , and they run in the background without locking you out of your system . Plus in doesnt invade your system. it Gaurds it. If a virus is found , a wall is built around it inside the file it is hiding , AVG notifies you and quarantines that File , and NOT the whole program that the file is in , so you can delete just the file and replace that file from the original program , your up and running . AVG doesnt let a bug crash your system , puts it in a cage so you can choose what to do with it .

XP is the best bet , Vista is really a Bad idea for anyone , who doesnt have some very serious machinery to run it , and yes its ull of problems . If you do go XP , do NOT use Norton Antivirus ,or Macaffee , instead download AVG for grisoft.com and you wont have any problems AVG is good stuff. I am able to trouble shoot most Windows systems , Win 2000 service pack 4 was the most stable , but XP is far more user freindly , Just DO NOT use Norton or Macaffee. A lot of people are having problems with Vista , Vista just isnt ready , most tech people I know agree .

actually if your in Windoze , just copy the mp3's directly to the cd , You dont need SS to do that , Blank CD , drag and drop the files to the cd icon right klik , burn it.

Yeah , Agreed , if the information can be combined , and the pictures and Items from other posts put together , then put as a head topic , newbies could easily find it and not have to ask

Targus , has a AAA Pack that comes with an iPod kit , I bought the pack seperately , and it works very good . Sitting at the bottom right of the picture. http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=ABE0202US I have several other USB packs that use 2 AA's that I found at Cell phone accessorie places. Look where there are Cell phone power accessories and Willcom accessories will work, AU , FOMA , some of thos work as well.

Down at the bottom of your desktop , on the right side of the Tool bar you should have a Device removal Icon , or you need to open "My Computer" then the MD is listed , right klik it and select Remove . After that you can disconnect it .

Hey Sparky ,...... Now you gotta ask him to pull your finger ..!!!

I noticed , that most of the items have a 2 year Repair/Replace warranty , that is cool because Lithiums , can have anomolies in the manufacturing , as well as unexpected life shortage. They also had a AAA battery to USB pack I saw , pocket sized power , probably pretty cheap ,5.3 volts out .

Also here is a Cool item , I dont know if it is still available , but for Data transfer , it appears that Sony actually thought of HIMD as a Data medium http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/products/catalog/DS-HMD1.pdf
