I think I'm gonna reach 10k songs by the end of the year
Started listening to music nearly 24/7 during exam period since I was always awake and now that I'm on break I've continued the pattern.
Also, I found that when you change an album folder name that itunes has synced it doesnt let the ipod scrobbler scrobble it I did a big reorganization/retagging of my folders and now I have to redo itunes completely. Grr, I remember why I hate this program now.

Just think if your iPod was scrobbling everything .. btw I gave up on it. It's not my primary player now anyways.

Well I'll probably start using it a lot more often since my Fischer Audio DBA-02s just got delivered and they're absolutely amazing. The clarity is speechless... you can actually hear the distortions in the lower quality music that I've never heard before. Definitely get them if you were looking into a new set, they out perform any earbuds in a realistic price range... look at any review. And even your precious shures uzique
hmm, those arrrre in my price range. I'll expect a full review from you.Winston_Churchill wrote:

be an audiophile all you want... for undriven, ipod/iphone only walking around, i don't think i could get anything better than my shure 535's. i'm sure there are better in-ear buds out there, but after that price-range (£300+) it starts to become ridiculously more expensive for tinier and tinier quality-gains. if i want absolute audio sterility then i won't be outside, walking around with my iphone anyway... i'll be inside, in an armchair, with the bang & olufsenWinston_Churchill wrote:

Nah, for the Shure SE535 price you can get much better bang for buck. Their £360 price tag is not justified for a triple armature driver casing. The Earsonic SM3s blow them right out of the water for a mere £229, and the Westone 3s reproduce much better bass and highs for £260.Uzique wrote:

Shure products are good, but their price is just unjustifiable. Especially when there are plenty of other brands that make much better quality products for a good bit less. Sunrise Audio will be the next to come up with something that makes the £300+ price tags an absolute joke.
@ Winston - Told you that you'd like them I advise you buy this:
http://www.westone.com/catalog/fit-kit
The eartips for the Westones go beautifully with the DBA-02s and remove some of the sibilance you can notice with their own tips. Also a lot more comfortable.
I still have a bunch of foam ones from my Shures, I'm going to see if they fit since I really loved the foam over plastic tips. Which ones do you use?
So dark and gritty, with a touch of light and hope to it. She's dealing with some demons in her soul. Life is tough.

"if i want audio perfection i'll stay inside and use my bang & olufsen"
you're a fucking retard for walking around the street with your pre-amp, top-end earphones and a shitty mp3-playing device
you're throwing money at a complete folly.
but enjoy it if it makes you feel better... i'd rather save the money for a hi-fi

Since I've only recently gotten into this streaming music malarkey, perhaps some of you vets can help me out a little. How does Last.fm compare to Spotify? I'm gonna wind up paying for it whatever happens because 20 hours a month isn't enough, but which is better? Or do you guys use both?
last.fm isn't meant to be spotify and doesn't try to be
if you want to stream specific artists, use spotify or the 100 clone apps

Hey man, calm down. There was no anger in what I said, I was merely evaluating what you said.Uzique wrote:

You paid more for your earphones than I did and you're telling me I'm throwing money at a complete folly? I don't understand...
I also "lol" at your statement below that... Because I don't have a single 128KBPS track on my MP3. There was no elitism in what I said, or smugness. I enjoy my music wherever I am and make sure I can listen to it at its best.
Also, save money for a hi-fi? Thanks, but I have a pretty damn good hi-fi system at home that I spent a good amount of money on. Much more than I'd ever spend on some earphones and MP3. Of course I'd rather sit at home and listen to my hi-fi, but I'm out and about a lot and I'd like to be making the most out of the music I have on my MP3.
Honestly Uzi, sometimes I don't understand why you get like this. There was no elitism or smugness in my post, and I'm not a fucking retard.

My IEMs cost less than half the price than yours yet are better. And I have an ipod, no pre-amp, etc. Where is throwing the money at a complete folly?
I originally said it as a joke anyway, poking fun at how much you love Shure. Lighten up
i don't love shure at all, i just recommend them because i know from my own experience that they work extremely satisfactorily
how can you 'prove' that your IEM's work better than mine for half the price? where's the dead-certain-fact, objective, quantitative 'listening quality' graph? i don't think you can produce one. this is exactly my point... it's fucking asinine and retarded. being an audiophile and being fussy over £5,000+ hi-fi equipment, okay fine... go for all the audio clarity you want. you being a smug wanker because you think you have better 'sound quality' than me on your paltry < £500 earphones is pointless. you're listening from an ipod. it doesn't play good music. subjectivity is the best consumer decision-maker here.
dont mind me, though, im at home over xmas and can be the smuggest bastard in the world with my B&O room. and i will.

You all should just use the right earbud of the generic ones that Dell sends you when you buy a computer but not the left earbud because that got caught in a drawer and was separated so it no longer works. Consequently, certain songs will contain tracks that you will not be able to hear in the entirety because the sound is transmitted to a non-functioning earbud.
Until today I had a 1/4" to 1/8" TS adapter connecting my headphones to my computer. I was only getting the Right Stereo single to both ears.DesertFox- wrote:

Bought a TRS adapter today.

all you can do in a case like this is compare them to your personal tastes and those of experts. considering its (as far as i've seen) a unanimous consensus among IEM testers that the FA DBA-02s are the best IEMs out sub $500 or so, then yes, I'd say its pretty clear they are better.
and since they are well under half the price of yours, almost a third... and better quality, or even for arguments sake, the same quality, how on earth can you make the case of me being an elitist or crazy audiophile? its a better buy, period.
last post on this, its off topic and its xmas. time to open more presents soon

man I've been putting my albums in proper order (on ur suggestion), and man, what a fucking mess. I think i simply sorted them by artist in itunes before I started creating my playlist. So I went to doubletwist (what I manage my player with), but I can't export the playlist to itunes for some reason. It's an m3u file. Naturally, doubtwist doesn't scrobblzzz .

why do you need to use a separate program for everything? it's like in this modern age of media players, people need a different plug-in, app, player and OS to do fucking everything with... i organize and play my albums in track-listed order in itunes and it works just fine. why do you need a playlist even to listen to a complete album in its entirety? the nature of playlists suggests you have selected tracks lifted from longer EP's/LP's... just turn on the column browser -> show 'artists' column and 'albums' column, and show 'track numbers' in the main pane. simples.Kmar wrote:

as long as you've downloaded/sourced your music from good sources in the first place, they should all come tagged with track-numbers.
for everything else, there's last.fm/discogs... simply retag the album as you want to listen to it. no need to get some crappy application to try and automatically do it all for you all at once. over-engineered solution to a simple and easy problem.
