mp3

I upload all the music on my windows box to google play. (Mostly .flac, but some mp3). Well, I just moved over some old stuff that was purchased from itunes. Some of it predates DRM removal and is in .m4p format. Obviously that stuff won't upload, but it should scan and upload the .m4a...

I did some Googling to see which bit rate to rip CDs at--the sweet spot between aural quality and file size. Here's an interesting article about a test where folks listened to a familiar track at different bit rates as well as uncompressed and tried to tell which was which. So 192kbps VBR...

I listen to music at home almost exclusively through my laptop now, mostly just scanned CDs, torrents, and streaming radio, but with spring approaching I'm wanting to see if I can improve things a bit. So I thought I'd poll you all to see how you're using the internet to listen to music. Do...

Any suggestions? I'm currently using Amarok. The simpler the better. I just want to play MP3s. No burning, ripping, playlist making....

So I play a tune from spotify, and save it to my laptop. I convert the wma file to an mp3 and copy it into my itunes library. Surely this can't be right? (as in ethically correct/allowable)

Wow. Just Wow. This is an awesome machine. This is more like a mockup of what some futuristic machine ought to be than a real machine; It is much too perfect in every way. The screen is bright and amazingly clear, even with teeny-tiny text. The interface is intuitive. The touchscreen...

I have a few mp3 recordings made of a radio show, some of them have an odd quality in that they play ok on the computer but in my Creative mp3-player they sound like if you had played a 45 rpm record in 33 rpm. What can it be and can it be fixed easily?

Last night there were quite a few skeptics in the truthnetradio chat, and of course the twoofers were begging them all to call in. Well, one did. I didn't catch the whole exchange, but here's what I was able to record. I love how many times the host uses the "fires don't melt steel" strawman...

I thought maybe a brief period of Googling might provide the answer to this but no joy so far. Is there any advantage to using newer music formats such as AAC and WMA rather than the much older MP3? These newer formats have better compression than MP3 and so should be better quality for the...

Help! Normally when I record the podcast, I use a program that automatically saves the audio files as .MOV. I then toss it in my Mac's iTunes and have it convert to MP3, then send those files on to Steve, the person who mixes everything. This time around, I accidentally uploaded the MOV files...

Ohio State University astronomy professor Richard Pogge has made MP3 recordings of his astronomy class lectures available to the general public. They are available at the website http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Audio/ Regarding copyright and usage of these lectures, the...

Here's one which popped into my head the other day, and I'm not sure how to solve it. You have an mp3 player with an album containing ten tracks. You have put it on "random play". What is the probability that two or more tracks on that album will play out in their original order? They could be...

Hi. I have a regular cd-player and would like to listen to mp3 files on it. If I write a mp3 file on a cd and put it in the cd player (Sanyo cdp-4940) nothing comes out of it. The files on the cds that are readable by the cd player are named TrackXX.cda with XX being a number (these files have...

If I have some mono song in mp3. And would like to a convert it from mono to stereo? I have tried to use some software to view a mono track. I can see that it is a single track or single channel. I have tried to convert it to double channel. But it doesn't sound to have any improvement...

Oh, how lucky we are here in Australia to have a visit from Allison Dubois. I mean... I'm sure she is telling the truth. http://www.mysteryinvestigators.com/files/Allison_Dubois.mp3 Recored as it went live to air on the 8.8.2005

Does anyone know anything about these? I have a 1GB MP3 player made by SanDisk, and I have about 420 songs on it. I like to listen to them on "shuffle" mode - kind of like having a radio station where I know I'll like all the music. The only problem is, about 70-80% of the time, it plays one...

Here. Debate the more-than-silly comparison here. Reference thread here for anybody that's actually interested: http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58899 This has been a public service announcement.

I have a Creative Zen Xtra 40GB MP3 player. Can anyone suggest which FM transmitter I should buy to be able to broadcast the music to my FM radio at home/in car ? I have seen several models but reviews of them seem to be mixed and I live in the UK so it must be available to buy here. I like...

I want to buy someone in my family an MP3 player/recorder for Christmas., something like an iPod. Heck, if it's the best thing out there I'll buy an iPod. I'm very good at the computer stuff but never got into the MP3 thing. What's the best thing going out there? What should I look for? The...

Here me on Sydney radio today putting the boot into Homeopathy. http://www.users.on.net/~ct/skeptic/2ue_2004_convention.mp3 :D

Anyone know a really good, busy helpful forum dealing with creating Mp3's etc?
