Hello

Yours seems to be the most senior figure to approach…sorry if you feel I should have tried some else!

I bought a iRiverclix in September 2007, following a review by your editor of the time but whose name I do now see, the name Janine strikes a chord.

My problem since then has been to transcribe a largish number of jazz/swing tapes into mp3.

I am more than a little surprised that CNET have not sought…or been able…to add to their reviews on equipment that will perform the subject of this email. I have a tape player, of course, but it is bit ancient, like me. At 74, I know I am a little slow to understand the machinations (seem like them anyway) of mp3 and I desperately need help.

With ‘google’ I seem able to attract software possibilities but no software INCLUDING tape players.

Is there any chance, please, that you could require such a review on equipment that comprises tape player WITH inclusive software?

Can YOU help please.

Thank you.

Regards

I downloaded some e-mail and photos to an external hard drive. It was saved in a DBX format. Now, I am unable to open this up. Can I change the format so that I can open it up? Or, is there anything I can download to be able to open it up in this format? Thanks.

any chance i can listen to streams on music update? i use linux fc6; never going back to micro$oft.

Cool -- I love those bands too. Do you have tons of playlists, or do you just listen to things randomly? Any tips for organizing your ipod? Mine is out of control.

(And band cd I would pass along is that compilation by Air that came out a year or so ago -- Night Music, I think it's called. I listen to it a lot.)

sorry, i guess i wasn't very clear. Not the type of music, rather the equipment.
Whats the best and cheapest way to building a record player stereo system?

What's on your ipod?

I don't know if this pertains to the topic, but i really want to get a record player and start buying records... i just have no idea where to begin.

Thanks for teh answer. I'll check it out. But are there bands you like that are like those too?

in your opinion are programs like replay music that record output rather than just downloading a file legal.

Who should I be listening to right now to rock out? Anyone new and loud out there?

Is there a way to put youtube videos on an ipod?

Do you know if you have any music similar to Red Hot Chili Peppers or Silvertide?

I just started downloading music from your site and I love it. But can you tell me how to find more bands I love? I'm into Radiohead, Death Cab for Cute...all that indie stuff.

Is there any program (preferably free) that can remove the voice from an mp3?
