I finally installed my Blaupunkt Brisbane and am starting to get a feel for how it functions. My first question would be how to get it to recognize ID3 tags? It officially supports v1 and v2 ID3 tags, but I can't get it to recognize them. Instead, it falls back to the file names. The files I'm...

Some conclusions from Gizmodo's Great MP3 Bitrate Tes t caught our attention, particularly as it affirms what we've been saying with Hi-Fi 2.0 . In the test, Gizmodo, the Gadget Blog , provided three selections encoded at eight different bitrates. There were seven different versions of MP3, ranging...

I have a Sony mp3 player that I have connected to my after market H/U (see signature). Whenever I listen to FM radio or CD, I can have the volume turned down to 10-15 and hear everything clearly. But when using my mp3 player through the H/U, I have to turn both the volume on the head AND the mp3 player...

I purchased the Pioneer CD-RB10 IP-Bus Interconnector and have it plugged into the back of the FH-P4100 HU. I am feeding the Interconnector with a Zune 30 from the headphone output with volume set at 18 (out of 20). The apparent problem is that the HU doesn't seem to know it's there. When in the Tuner...

I have a Pioneer DEH-P650 HU and as far as I can tell, the only means of onputting an outside (aux) signal is through a multi-disc cd changer plugin on the back panel. I'd like to input an mp3 player (actually a Zune 30) to the HU, how do I do it? Is there a harness that might interface with the CD changer...

I have 2003 Mercedes C230 Kompressor with factory installed sound system. I would like to add the ability to listen to MP3 music. How do I choose MP3 player? How do I hook it up to existing system? Thanks

How can I "plug" my PC network into a receiver (Onkyo TX-SR605) so I can play music on my PC through the speakers that are wired to the receiver? I have a Cat5 network outlet next to the receiver so I'd like to use hard wire connection rather than wireless. Is there an "adapter" I can ust to join a cat5...

I just flashed back to my first record player. It played 45s, and when it skipped, I put a penny on the arm. Remember doing that? A handle on the side let me carry it around the house to play songs for my brothers — moving music the old-fashioned way. These days, I have a lot of MP3 songs stored on my...

I recently had an opportunity to do some side-by-side comparisons of Shure's line of in-ear earbud headphones . But this post isn't about the headphones -- it's about the importance of sound file quality. We were doing the tests with an MP3 player, and listening to different kinds of music recorded at...

I recently moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive. While it meant I could greatly expand the number of songs I could have in my library, the primary reason for the move was so I could upgrade the sound quality of the music I stored. iTunes automatically compresses songs as they're imported...

There's a growing concern about unauthorized music downloading, and the legal consequences it can bring. What's not talked about are the thousands of free, legal downloadable songs available on the Internet. Many artists offer free tunes from their catalog as a way to build an audience. If you're willing...

Some of the music in my iTunes library isn't clean. No, not like that. I'm using the term in the broadcasting sense. Some of my tracks don't start clean, and others don't stop clean -- there's extra stuff before or after these songs that I don't really want to hear. The problem selections mostly come...

Like several of my coworkers, I enjoy downloading and listening to podcasts on my computer. Unlike them, I don't have an iPod® or portable MP3 player. But that doesn't stop me from listening to my favorite podcasts when I'm on the road. Since my in-dash receiver can play MP3s, I simply burn podcasts...
