My tape recorder that I have recently bought has six 1/4" ports for headphones on the left side, which is far too big for most headphones and speakers to plug into, which have 1/8" jacks. So I have ordered an 1/4" to 1/8" male to female adapter, which was 99 cents on eBay. Strangely enough, the front microphone and aux in ports are 1/8". The tape recorder does have a good speaker built in, but I'd rather plug in my computer speakers which are 2.1 and has a 1/8" jack.

Here is a picture of my Eiki tape recorder, which was almost 40 dollars in total! Half of that was shipping! :zombiefuck:



What ever.

At this point, I pretty much think of you as a useless fake of a cunt, no matter what old shit you post about.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Why not use Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3?

Not all MP3 players will support Ogg Vorbis.

iRiver brand MP3 players do. But good point, because my SanDisk Sansa does not support OGG files as well. But I dislike the side effects of MP3 compression on sound, especially when it's 128 kbps or less. Sounds like a typical YouTube video.

Any format will sound bad at 128 or less.

Both of my iAudio (Cowon) players, as well as my phone, support Ogg, btw. I like the format but I prefer FLAC.

What about AAC at 128? I really need to learn more about AAC encoding (settings) because My DSiXL only plays AACs.

Another Honda self-propelled mower for $30.

Same model as the one I have figured it would be good for parts, went to look at it and all it needed was 2 rear tires which I already have stashed in the basement. 

Looks like it wasn't used too much, hasn't even started to blow smoke on start up like most Honda's of that age.

The other one makes a wonderful mosquito fogger on those hot summer evenings.  :zoinks:

Not quite. I agree with him.

Don't be mad Judy. You buck-toothed inbred, redneck. Life is good and people care about you.

(Disclaimer not all I just wrote is completely factual)
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

AAC is somewhat better but I don't have a player that supports it. And in the end it sucks too.

How does Windows Media Lossless and FLAC compare?

Glitter lamp, it didn't photograph real well though. The other side is silver.

My new favorite lamp next to this one.
