AskWoody LoungerI,understand the value of it alright,but don`t ask me how it works or how to make one.

AskWoody LoungerI,think I,got it, the lower the KBPs speed,the smaller the file but the poorer the sound quality.(You loose too much of the origional data)
And the higher the KBPs speed the larger the actual file but the better the sound quality.(Larger up to a point of course).
So to speak 128KBPs is the break even point of MP3 files.
Yes,you loose some data but the quality doesn`t suffer too much and the file size is acceptable.
Thanks for that explanation Mark.Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerAs I,understand it only MP3`s playing at 128 KBPs are C.D. quality.
Every other speed is called near C.D.quality
If there`s a choice I,always download the file which is 128 KBPs.Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerHi Leif,
Did what you advised and run the ScanDisc,C & D.
(Keep in mind that the following is my free translation from the Dutch WinMe).
“ScanDisc has not found any errors on this station”
“0 Bytes in damaged sectors”
As I, said a free translation.
Now this was just done in windows,because there`s a problem doing it with the start-up disk.
The problem is I,don`t have one.
I,know how to make one but they just don`t work.
So,I cannot do it in minimal mode,like your article suggests or run all the additional commands.
Yes,when there`s gonna be a problem with starting my machine or Windows rather I`m (You know what).
Maybe you know of something else I,might check?
Thanks so far Leif,Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerI,don`t know what they put in soup in the U.S.
But in Holland(Europe)besides the other stuff they put in rings of leek.
So,if you see any green rings in your soup,that`s the leek.Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerFirst of all I`m very satisfied with Norton A.V. it`s simply the best V-Scanner available.
But,you say one of the new features is:”Exclusive Worm Blocking technology detects worms such as Nimda in =OUTGOING= mail to prevent
them from infecting other computers.”
I,could be wrong but isn`t the whole idea of a V-Scanner to protect my pc against these sort of threats in the first place?
In other words if Norton A.V. keeps my machine clean(wich it does)why does it need to scan OUTGOING mail.
I`ve got Norton 2002 running and that has the outgoing mail scan and I`ve always wondered why it needs to do that.
Because if my machine is clean how can I,infect other machines?Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerNow this is some piece of software(MusicMatch).
At least a 50% sound improvement and the re-tagging is as easy as 1,2,3.
The features are too many to name them,great lay-out and the skins are beautifull.
And everything is so easy to use,a baby could work it.
The only thing that`s gonna take some getting use to is the visual change of the MP3`s.(see picture).
Thanks for recomending it.Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerThanks,Mark,that`s exactly what I,needed to know.
I`m going to give it a try and see how I,like it.Greetz.

WSLiberator
AskWoody LoungerI`m thinking of downloading the latest version of MusicMatch.
I`ve read your other post`s on MusicMatch and although you say it uses up,
a lot of resources(someone said:”It`s kind of piggish”),I,want to give it a try.
But there`s something that troubles me,and that`s the fact that it has a cd-burner in it.
Because I`m using Nero for burning cd`s and I`m not gonna change that,because it`s simply the best overall burner.
Now since you seem to be some kind of an expert on MusicMatch,can you tell me how it co-excists with Nero.
I`ve read all the FAQ`s on MusicMatch but it says nothing on how it co-excists with any other cd- burning progs.
For instance can I,disable the cd-burning function of MusicMatch.
I,only want to set it as my MP3 default player(Jukebox).
And use the ID3 tag option to rename files.
Now these functions can be selected when installing the software.
So,my quistion again,can I,select not to use the cd-burner of MusicMatch?Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerI,just changed the settings in my Media Player from “Read Only”to,
“Full Access”.
Then I,edited some MP3`s,changed back to “Read Only Access”and,
removed all files from the Media Library.
Then I,searched My Documents(where all my music is)in my Media Player,to load,
them back into the library.
But the edited M`P3`s where changed back to their old misinformation.
So,that`s not the way to do it.
So,is there a way to change them with Windows Media Player 7 and have them stay that way.Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerOr this,I`m sure it`s on that album,but it`s a collection album.
The original album for”Echoes” ofcourse is “Meddle”.
And the origonal album for “The Great Gig In The Sky” is ofcourse “The Dark Side Of The Moon”.
Besides that it ain`t Classic Rock but Psychedelic Rock or Symphonic Rock wich ever you prever.
Now this is the stuff that I,want to correct.Greetz.

AskWoody LoungerI`m using Windows Media Player version 7.
And this is some of the garbage I`m talking about. -
WSLiberator
AskWoody LoungerYou,say you can change the MP3`s,Artist,Song,Album etc.
By using your mediaplayer.
My player has “Read Only Access”to the files.
So,if I,change that to “Full Access”I,can change whatever is listed in the Media-Library permanantly?
In other words can I,change,what`s inside the file,using this way or just the way it is listed in the library?Greetz.
