    Music library software

    Ever had any issues with MM and ipod? It syncs fine with my android but now whenever I try to eject my ipod after a sync it says the drive is in use, and if I just pull the plug, my ipod won't recognise any of my music files. The whole reason I chose this program is so that I could sync both...

    Music library software

    EU courts ruled that microsoft had to offer versions of windows without WMP, but they still offer it as a free download and you can still get versions with it included.

    Music library software

    cheeseboy got it mostly - I dislike how it only works with apple devices. But also I'm not a fan of the interface and it used to crash every now and then. I don't like how it's constantly asking me to sign in to the cloud and trying to get me to buy things from the itunes store, I just want to...

    stand alone DAC or amp with integrated?

    The software I'm using for playback is Mediamonkey gold v4, I'm not a fan of itunes or spotify. Did think about getting Tidal, rather than buying all my music again to get lossless but right now I just don't want to be paying to listen to music I already own haha. So really I'm looking to get...

    Music library software

    Just in case anyone else out there has a similar question to mine, I've solved it by using media monkey. Syncs to my ipod and phone including play counts. Only drawback was I had to buy the paid version to get the auto playlists (which is like smart playlists in itunes). To be honest I think it...

    stand alone DAC or amp with integrated?

    My main source for music is my PC, I do have a soundcard (Asus Xonar DG), currently got that going into a JVC A-X30 amp which is playing through a pair of Linn index speakers. I want to upgrade, not massively though (I'm poor). I love the speakers, don't want to replace them yet, but the amp is...

    Music library software

    I apologise if this has already been done, I had a quick look through the forums and couldn't find anything that answers my question so decided to post a new thread. Basically I want to move away from using itunes, but haven't yet found anything that fills my needs. My ideal program would be...

    Which amp/dac to buy?

    How much did you sell yours for, just out of interest? (I'm not sure how much these are worth - want to know if I got a good deal)

    I want to upgrade to lossless....

    I wonder how popular it would be... maybe I should start a kickstarter or something haha. The quality doesn't stop me from enjoying it most of the time, however I visited a friend who does use lossless files (plus a more modern and expensive setup albeit) and we listened to Pink Floyd and I can...

    Which amp/dac to buy?

    both look interesting, now I'm spoilt for choice haha! So you think getting an integrated dac+amp is the way to go?

    I want to upgrade to lossless....

    I'm not considering it at all. I'm not on a certain pirateship themed website as I type this. Not at all.

    I want to upgrade to lossless....

    I already have a library of around 9,700 songs, in aac and mp3 format. Most of them are 256 or 320 kbps, but I'd like to replace as much as I can with flac/alac files. I'm aware that there is ponomusic and society of sound and other ways of acquiring high quality lossless files, BUT I really...

    Which amp/dac to buy?

    Ok, so I'm fairly new to the world of hifi and all the audiophile tech but so far I am loving it. Unfortunately my whole setup right now is old hand me downs, simply because I don't have the money to buy a whole new system. I'm currently outputting from my vaio laptop via an optical cable, into...
