<0> And even if I ripped it to M4A it still wouldn't be DRM'd.
<1> AHAHA.
<0> I'm just trying to correct your misconceptions about iTunes, now.
<2> oh.
<0> It's a music player and ripper that does plain ol' MP3 if you tell it to.
<0> It defaults to ripping to M4A, but even that's not DRM'd.
<0> M4P is DRM'd.
<0> And that's what you get from the iTunes Music Store.
<2> yeh. similar to when you dowload stuff from any of the MS-compatible stores. totally drm-ized
<0> Right.
<0> But you can completely disable the iTMS in iTunes. That's what I did since I was sick of it cluttering up my playlists with links into the store.
<2> Yeah theres a number of employees at work who have had itunes totally mangle their collection
<3> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2973573910679120702
<0> I use it to manage my collection and have not had any trouble, but I don't **** around with the files on disk behind the scenes either since that can confuse it.
<2> but its not itunes fault. its theirs. i prefer to use dBPowerAmp and if you misconfigure it, it will also mangle your collection.
<2> nt4 should never win an election over a 2k or xp machine. (?)
<2> wait. pdc. not browser master. nevermind
<4> hehe
<4> yeh
<2> pdc is like an ***igned role
<4> i've set the key in the registry to have them come up bdc
<4> but they keep coming up and knocking w2k3 out
<4> and it's confusing the w2k3 **** completely
<2> this is slight off topic, but im curious, why are you still running nt4 systems?
<1> OMG. WHY.
<3> OMG. I'M STILL AT WERK.
<3> oh wait.
<1> omg. Your mom is still here.
<3> nice.
<5> fdiv_bug; my one major annoyance with itunes is that if I've ripped something on another computer (say, with cdex or eac), and drop the mp3's in the itunes folder (when itunes isn't running), it doesn't pick up on them unless I tell it to import them. I wish there was a easier way to do that, like a menu item to rescan the music archive.
<2> i can understand if all you have available is a pentium <200 mhz with <128mb ram and you need a fileserver... but otherwise... why?
<4> z0g^sn: i became defacto...
<3> redchairsoftware
<4> these are the old things
<4> and we're waiting on some license keys
<4> for software we use
<6> any hardware thats NT4 vintage should have been retired years ago.
<2> yeah. should be thrown overboard and made into an artificial reef
<6> [says the guy who has several sun 250Mhz and 400Mhz ultrasparcs still live in his lab at work)
<4> i'm the first person who's joined this organization who actually understands all that ****
<0> peerce: Yeah, that's really not how iTunes works.
<4> i'm working at retiring these two machines
<0> Though I think there is a way to do that if you want.
<2> ive got four Ultrasparc Creator 60 systems collecting dust. interested?
<2> come and pick them up, theyre yours.
<6> fdiv_bug; well, telling it to import its own folder seems to work
<6> [I've told it to NOT reorg the directories]
<4> so anyone know a good way to _force_ the nt4's to know their place in the network? as the w2k3's bitches?
<6> itunes is almost strictly for my daughters ipod nano
<6> Aurelius; I *think* there's a update/patch to NT4 that lets it be a member of active directory.
<4> fdiv_bug: what kind?
<2> any of you guys have iRiver media players?
<0> Aurelius: Just some generic white French bread.
<0> Nothing fancy.
<0> I didn't want something too complicated for my first breadmaking venture.
<6> but I shut all our nt4 stuff down several years ago
<2> i want a MS Janus compatible subscription player. Im pretty tired of my SAndisk player. it ****s. iRiver seems to be the predominant player
<3> white french bread as opposed to immigrant african french bread
<2> do you have one of those automatic breadmaking machines?
<1> Nigger corn.
<4> peerce: i've had to work hard to convince the owner of the company that ditching NT is the best thing
<0> z0g^sn: Apple, iRiver, or Creative. Those are the only names I'd consider.
<0> z0g^sn: No.
<0> Those are for pussies.
<0> :)
<7> i'd consider sony
<6> Aurelius; computer hardware has a useful life of 5 years max. after that, its TCO exceeds its depreciated value
<2> **** sony
<6> If Sony didn't insist on reinventing the wheel with those stupid memorysticks, Id say, sure, go sony.
<4> peerce: the thing that FINALLY got the higher ups to sign off on the fact that we need new servers... one started failing :)
<2> apple i cant consider due to being locked into itms, and im using another service.
<4> and now they're turning around and listening to me
<2> peerce: precisely
<0> z0g^sn: Right, which I personally consider to be a shame as I'm of the opinion that the iPod is the best music player on the market.
<4> so i'm retrofitting the servers, gonna replace our key phone system
<6> z0g^sn; the ipod nano rocks as a music player.
<2> sony has this problem of creating their own ecosystem regardless of preexisting ubiquitous standards.
<6> tiny, long battery life, good user interface.
<4> z0g^sn: a coworker of mine has an iriver
<4> loves it
<6> excellent sound
<6> I particularlly like the 'leash' earplugs they sell for it.
<2> peerce: id ideally really like something that uses commodity batteries. my current Sandisk Sansa m250 runs on a single AAA battery. I use 900 mah NiMH batteries. I can swap them out when they die.
<6> turns the nano into a necklace where the earbuds are integrated nito the necklace
<2> and i keep a couple batteries in my car change pocket and a couple batteries in my desk drawer at work
<6> z0g^sn; the nano uses a liion integral battery taht is good for 10+ hours of play
<6> and charges in an hour on a usb dongle
<2> peerce: technically the batteries for this player should last 20 hours apiece but when i plug it into the c***ette adapter, something about its impedance kills the battery.
<2> peerce: i know its counter-technology but i like the AAA battery model :(
<6> yeah, those c***ette adapters are 100-200 ohm, like a large pair fo studio phones, takes far more pookah to drive them than a 20k ohm earbud
<6> i bet those c***ette adapters would sound even better if you used a headphone preamp to drive them.
<6> something designed for a 100ohm load
<2> Ive been thinking abotu that actually
<2> that would be a smart decision
<2> some sorta preamp
<2> because to get decent volume from the mp3 player using the c***ette adapter, it has to be cranked to max volume. im sure theres gonna be some distortion there
<2> though, it doesnt sound like it
<1> Pookah!
<2> pokemon
<1> Hai.
<6> z0g^sn; yeah, you want stuff set so the headphone outputs on the mp3 player are about 50%, and the car deck volume is 'normal' (similar to what it is on CD or FM)
<6> http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHHA400
<6> thats meant for 4 headphones but its cheap
<6> amd runs on 12V
<6> I dunno what its input impedance is, looking now.
<2> thats a pretty industrial looking thing. not something youd keep in your pocket on a daily basis :D
<6> well, you said c***ette adapter, I ***ume you mean in your car
<2> yeah :D
<6> yeah, 100K ohm input impedance. woudl be da kine.
<6> 40mW into 100 ohm phones, that would dirve a c***ette whacker just fine.
<6> afk a few
<2> ever tried out those cheap fm transmitters?
<2> in my experiences, they **** so bad
<2> oh cool. im reading that a keg kept room temperature will last at least a couple months
<2> not bad.
<8> z0g^sn: yeah i tried 2 they both ****
<2> huh?
<8> the 2nd one i got worked better because you could select any frequency
<2> oh
<8> 13:26 @<2> ever tried out those cheap fm transmitters?
<8> i installed an aux in -> mini jack in my alti
<2> yeah ive had a couple fm transmitters where you could select the frequency. none of them sounded anything like a c***ette adapter
<2> c***ette adapter sounds like a line-in
<8> yeah my gf was using the fm transmitter
<8> i found an old c***ette adapter from a discman and gave it to her
<8> she is happier with that
<2> big difference
<8> z0g^sn: i put one of these in my car http://www.activetuning.com/products/nissan/multiple/NI-MP-AUXINPT-ALXT/
<9> thats cause FM is bad
<2> only downside of the c***ette adapters, that i can discern, is their power draw impact on the player itself.
<9> FM is like 12 bit 32khz
<2> ive got a factory subaru radio in my car. i doubt there is any line-in option on it :D
<9> sirius is built in to my receiver
<9> which rocks
<9> and i have the ipod thingy
<8> z0g^sn: i have a factory bose in mine, it had an aux in
<8> z0g^sn: what year?
<2> and im NOT about to replace the factory radio with an aftermarket. I learned my lesson there. Aftermarket radio = Thief Magnet.
<2> phiz: 95 legacy. just some pos that gets me around town.
<9> z0g, that was certainly true 5+ years ago
<10> uhh FM is analog
<9> thank you csm
<10> np
<2> Dude, I had 3 aftermarket radios in my jeep, every one stolen. Im sticking to ****ing factory.
<9> when was the last one stolen?
<2> nobody wants to steal a factory radio
<2> crime rate is **** here
<9> no one wants to steal a stereo that wont work and they cant sell either
