    Sony's W600/800i/900i is what something you might want to look at and will be exactly what Apple will be shooting for. Sony's got the leg up right now and they're excellent units.

    Why are you "removing layers upon layers" when you should be rebuilding their pc's. If they are saving things on the local drive and not the network drive(s), this will teach them to be more careful when they suddenly find themselves with a newly "built" pc in the morning. In a environment with 150+ pc's, we don't have time to be addressing issues like that. Swap with a new build and rebuild the infected machine. What does this have to do with the article again? :/

  10. Re:Congratulations Sony... on Sony Ericsson Announces First Walkman Phone · · Score: 0

    Sony wasn't claiming "first cell phone to playback .mp3's", so I'm not sure what angle you're driving at. They might be "later" to the party than N-Gage or the Treo, but it's quite a bit smaller than those bricks you two have. IIRC, you guys don't have Bluetooth either.

    Very handy if you want to take your entire DVD audio collection with you on a portable player.

    how does this make compressed multichannel "handy" when you're going to listen through headphones?

  22. .mp3's to "5.1" .mp3's... on Thomson Releases MP3 Surround · · Score: 0

    no such thing. as a few people have already pointed out, it's for converting an ALREADY multichannelled source to .mp3 multichannel. you can't take a two channel .mp3 and magically convert it to 5.1.

  23. Re:No on Thomson Releases MP3 Surround · · Score: 0

    ..if you were about to rip a new song, and you had the option of using the surround codec or the normal codec, wouldn't most of you choose the surround codec (esp for some of those great 70's and 80's bands that really took advantage of surround sound)?

    i'm not understanding why you would choose surround sound instead of 2 channel especially when it wasn't recorded that way. gimmicky at best. 70's and 80's bands that took advantage of surround sound? i don't recall any. quad-channel and surround are totally different.

    ..but i think SACD and DVD-Audio do support surround sound so that's always an option for using this and maintaining the surround sound in the encoded format

    yes, they do support surround, but you have to remember that most people that purchase SACD/DVD-Audio discs are at least audio enthusiasts and will surely not listen to compressed surround material. and unlike two-channel, where you can listen to music passively, you have to stay put to thoroughly enjoy multi-channel surround.

    You obviously don't care about video quality, nor do you care about the audio portion of it. Bush dvd player? you get what you pay for. considering the amount of piracy, the copyright notices are there for a reason. you're in THAT much of a hurry that you can't look at that for, what, 5 seconds? i bet you nuke your poptarts because "you don't have time to cook."
