  • still using the optical mouse. works fine for me.
    in what have you done with your Apple mouse? Comment by snazlord February 2003
  • thanks all for the quick responses. The reason I ask has to do with internet security, since that's the context in which I first encountered "ports." It seems that the built in OS X internet security system pref (i.e. the built-in firewall),…

    in Ins and outs of VBR (variable bit rate) Comment by snazlord December 2002
  • I just completed a little test comparing: 1) iTunes VBR encoding (min bitrate 96, quality high) 2) LAME VBR encoding (using the LAMER GUI for OS 10.2, min bitrate 80, quality one notch down from "highest") 3) iTunes CBR at fixed 192 bitrate. I…
    in Ins and outs of VBR (variable bit rate) Comment by snazlord December 2002
  • i was playing around with VBR in Lamer and in iTunes last night. it's infinetly more convenient to rip in iTunes (one program, integrates seamlessly into your playlist, keeps all the ID3 tags, etc). But here's the issue: if under ripping prefs …

  • sounds interesting. how does the encoder choose the bitrate (when using VBR)? And can't iTunes do VBR?

  • yes,it's expensive ($249 plus around $100 for the linksys WET 11); but i've been looking for a way to get my MP3s to my stereo for over a year, and this is the best i've found, and no more expensive than any of the other DARs (digital audio receiver…
    in sliMP3 anyone? Comment by snazlord December 2002
  • seems like if the enclosure's power source is external (i.e. a power brick to plug into the wall), then you don't need a fan. One other question, though. Do you think it's worth the extra $ for an 8mb cache on either the WD or IBM 120 GB drive…
    in Hard drive purchase Comment by snazlord December 2002
  • yeah, i read that thread. that is a cheap dual bay enclosure, but it's huge and has a fan in it. kind of defeats the purpose (or at least one of the nicer purposes) of my SILENT TiBook. do i need a fan? seems there are many enclosures without …
    in Hard drive purchase Comment by snazlord December 2002
  • also in the market for a new hard drive to store all my MP3s on, thinking about a 120GB external. (I have a TiBook 500MHz with the original 10GB drive.) I agree that it's cheaper to get an IDE drive and an enclosure than an external FW drive. …

  • uptime 6:55PM up 22 days, 21:10, 3 users, load averages: 2.06, 1.80, 1.52 i thought OS X was supposed to be rock-stable; why is everyone's uptime only a few days or hours? what the heck does "3 users" mean? i'm the only one using m…

  • [quote]Originally posted by amarone: snazlord: I've seen the SLIMP3 and I like its functions. But it's not what I'm looking for. Well, and then I really don't want to pay 249$. Am I assuming right that you own one of these? happy user? yes…
    in Audio via Airport-USB? Comment by snazlord February 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by amarone: Hi I'm just wondering if it's possible to play my mp3's via the new Airport-Extreme station in some way. IOW: is it technically possible to stream my audio signal to my AE-basestation and connect my amp to th…

  • I've got the "sportsuit convertible" from Marware. I love it, and it comes standard with both a belt clip AND an armband. Plus, you can get a bunch of other different attachments for it.
    in iPod belt carrier broke. Can't return it. Not covered under warranty. Need a new one. Comment by snazlord January 2003
  • darn. sorry 'bout that. thought you were asking about a palm w/bluetooth functionality; not a phone with both. can't help you there.
    in Cell phone with Palm OS AND Bluetooth??? Comment by snazlord January 2003
  • i'm pretty sure that you can put in a bluetooth "card" or whatever into the Palm M515. They had some such bundle, as i recall, at the mac store a few months ago (i.e. M515 bundled with the bluetooth adapter and the bluetooth USB dongle). Don't rem…

  • it's about f'ing time isync 1.0 came out! and by the way, since you mentioned it, i don't get all the hype about cameras in phones. WTF? who takes pictures with their phone? the quality bites, so it's not replacing a real digital or film camer…

  • question: can you install and run all the palm OS applications out there on the P800? or are palm OS apps not compatible with symbian OS? If not, then IMHO, this takes some of the wind out of the P800's sails. Yes, it's a start at integrating…
