| 84546 | 2002-09-30 00:25:00 | just finished reading the ogg vorbis thread. why bother putting cd onto puter if you own the cd and a stereo? I must be missing out on something cool! enlightenment required. |

| 84547 | 2002-09-30 00:59:00 | why? because pc is in office and stero is in the lounge. also i can randomly play any song out of two thousand+ songs, try that with a cd player ;-) great setup for partys, connect pc to stero, make up the play list, then randomly play all night long :) | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 84548 | 2002-09-30 01:36:00 | Exactly tweak'e. Why get up every five minutes to change the CD and have people getting thier grubby fingers all over your CD's during a party situation. Also, if your parties are any like mine, there is no guarantee that CD's lying around the place will be there in the morning :( Also, with a couple of PC's networked running VNC I can change the track from almost any room in the house (if you have enough PC's, or in my case few enough rooms :D) PLUS, if all your tracks are on the PC, it is any easy process to whip up a quick compilation before work for the car trip on the way in.

| 84549 | 2002-09-30 01:38:00 | And also the fact that you could create any compilation out of different files, etc. Agree with Tweake's thoughts on playing any song out of thousands instantly. Lo. |

| 84550 | 2002-09-30 01:42:00 | Oh, I forgot - again the party situation, my music player allows tracks to be queued - Everyone can select the tracks they want, and just tack them on the end of the queue (this way everyone gets to hear what they wan (no fights at the stereo :D), and a careful eye to ensure the list doesn't get out of hand helps. You can also lock the actual stereo away - set the max volume on the PC, and then turn the stereo up to the max you want it to be, and then use the PC's volume control to control the volume. Stereo is locked away, so no more blown speakers (speakers of course can be put anywhere with enough cable :D) So as you can see, our weekly binging sessions are always with lots of good music. And the money the flat has saved on "lost" Cds and stuffed speakers... G P |

| 84552 | 2002-09-30 04:12:00 | GP - How is your PC hooked up, Is it one of the theater system Soundcards or have you devised some other method?? Just curious Chilling_Silence BTW - 3 words: WinAmp Remote Control! |

| 84554 | 2002-09-30 04:19:00 | Hey I got a PSX controller wired up to the Parallel port on this laptop - Winamp Remote Control aka Car MP3 player :D :D audio out into the amp, the PSX controller duz volume, skips forward and back etc don't even need a monitor! | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 84555 | 2002-09-30 05:48:00 | Chilling... I have a super al cheapo Sounblaster Live soundcard (on the upgrade list somewhere) that I have taken a 3.5mm plug from. I then split the channels to two RCA plugs and put them to audio in for Video2 on my stereo (I have three inputs for video - Video1, 2 and 3 for my DVD, Computer, Game console). I did this because the audio in for the video channels allows a higher input before it hits the stereo's amp (unlike for instance the mic or phono input which requires low input levels). That way I can crank the sound card a little without stuffing the stereo. Not the best quality, but the stereo is very decent, and so it does wonders to the input - adds bass where there was almost none, and creates surround sound through rear speakers etc. Gotta love the man who invented the equaliser!!
