Anyone got a docking thing for an iPod?

In Costco the other day, guy behind me is checking out with a USB
turntable. Maybe I can convert all the old vinyl's to the wife's IPOD.
One advantage of old age and working with pneumatic computer equipment,
the hearing does not notice as many bad recordings.


Ha! I was just down at Circuit City a couple of hours ago looking at the
turntables. When I saw "USB" turntables that will convert vinals to MP3s,
I gave up. I like too much of the old stuff.

I have to dig out my old Dual 1219 and see if it still works.

Give these people a call about your ideas. They REALLY know what they're
talking about. I suspect they've spent some time shmoozing with the crew
from McIntosh.

Bookmarked. Thanks.

So much to do. So little time.

You could always take a road trip to Binghamton and visit the place. Very
dangerous store. Leave your wallet in the car.

My old direct drive Sony PS 4750 is set up in our basement recreation
room. My son likes to listen to my old albums on it.

http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/s...0/PS4750.html#

It is still rock solid and the playing needle/head is still in great
condition, although I must have replaced it over the 70's-90's many times.
I always cleaned the playing needle head as well as the album(s) prior to
playing them.


Hopefuly he wasn't down there doing that hippty hop/rap crap scratchy thing

Hey, John, totally off topic, but since you are using Agent.....

your post and the ones threading under it have attached themselves to
the middle of a really old thread from 2004 "Wouldn't you rather have
a Bush?"



Are you seeing similar behavior?

No, I'm seeing them attached to the thread: Anyone got a docking thing
for an Ipod.

I've not seen the 'Bush' thread anywhere.

I'm really beginning to get ****ed at Forte..... I have 6-12 threads
crossing over between old posts and new.... g-r-r-r-r-r-r-

Gotta be something in group or default properties, I'd guess. Unless it's
the ISP. I've got some weird crap from my ISP. For a while I was getting
all the messages within two weeks as though they were new. Every time I
checked for new messages I'd have to delete a potful.

I listen to real music with a wide dynamic range on my ipod, music created
by actual musical instruments, (not "photoshopped music" :} )and
virtually everything I have on the ipod is an MP4, at 320 kbps. My hearing
is excellent. If I hook up my ipod to my stereo and play my real music
through it, it sounds at least as good as playing the same music off a CD.


yawn

A great deal of old stuff has been re-released on cd's. Basically the same
thing, converted to digital without compression. Since a cd is usally
around 10 bucks it's probably cheaper that taking the time to convert and
tag the songs off your lps.

They keep telling me "analog is dead".

I suppose if you still have vinyl and acetate copies of old artists
you can be analog but the studios are digital now so you are still
digital, like it or not.

Yep. It originally had a Pickering. I replaced it with a Shure V15. Are
they still supported?

Nah.... and that is what ****es me off.... it is a KNOWN programming
bug since Version 0.99. If 5.0 doesn't come out with nested folders,
filtering, and that bug fixed..... I think I'm going to be moving on
to some other newsreader.

I'm still using 1.91/32. It's done well by me. Let me know if you want it
and I'll send it to you.
