^^ if you dont want to pay for nero (or find "alternate" ways to use it), you can use SUPER, which is a freeware program that converts to and from just about any format you can throw at it.

Download SUPER

once you download and install it, just open it up. select "iPod 5.5g" from the Output Containers, and everything else is pre-configured. then just drag/drop some files onto the program, and hit Encode.

if you get a little lost, you can follow this tutorial:

thanks for the info, but i checked out the SUPER site and can't really find the download link. isn't there an easier way to download it? the entire site is confusing and i don't know where to go download. i really want this, it seems like such a great tool.

Question:

What would be a good "cluster" name to use with Share EX2, to look for some "not-so-mainstream" japanese music ???

I just use the ones that tg said and the artist name. if you keep share open long enough it might show something. I recommend making a trigger for what you're looking for and check "add to DB only" and uncheck "delete matching query triggers." Do a search for the artist and just wait.

I find that using share for less known artists doesn't work so well. I could sometimes find the artist I'm looking for on soulseek though. It works better when you do a search within a chatroom. and if all else fails you can just ask around. lol

lol yeah, say the wrong thing in any room and the people in it will be on your ass.

You just have to learn to get around that.

I have a problem with my PS2, I keep getting a Disc Read Error whenever I try to play my games, it doesn't happen with every gam* but its been happening a lot lately. I've had my PS2 since the summer of 2001 and have never had a problem with it until recently, and its in excellent condition so I don't think anything is broken I think.

I don't know what to do anymore, its pretty frustrating and I don't want to borrow my roommates PS2. Is there anything other than sending it to sony that I can do?

*For instance, I got Armored Core: Last Raven and Shin Megami Tensei:RvSA a couple of weeks ago, it plays AC fine each time I start the PS2 but it takes a few tries before it can play SMT sometimes. I bought two fairly old games, Chaos Legion and Prince of Persia, last night and it took around 30 minutes of trying before I could play either.

I think it might be the lens. 6 years is a pretty long time.

Kamui · « **Reply #1029 on:** June 17, 2007, 06:47:03 PM »

So do I just need to somehow clean the lens then?

BigDnm01 · « **Reply #1030 on:** June 17, 2007, 07:49:09 PM »

yah, u can just try and go buy a lens cleaner for ur video game console. i had the same problem once before, and cleaning it really does help.

Alright thanks for the help.

^ Any Core (2) Duo laptop with 1.6GHz or higher should be able to run any current type of video except maybe for the highest resolution 1080p
So unless you have anything else you want to do with it, go for the cheapest.
(Just make sure you have a power socket nearby and install the codecs)

^^buy extra batteries lol

thatguy · « **Reply #1035 on:** June 18, 2007, 11:45:32 AM »

^ my pentium M plays just about all files fine, with the exception of high-bandwidth .TS files. of course, the new mobile core2duo processors supposedly use less power (ie: longer battery life), but depending on your budget that might not matter. also, be sure to check seatguru.com to see if your seat has a power-port. if you're lucky, the new airbus A330 planes all have power plugs in the forward economy section (ie: free juice on an economy-priced ticket!), so try to reserve a good seat

im planing to get this one. http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1210?c=ca&cs=cadhs1&l=en&s=dhs

12 inches of screen is good enough for me cuz my sister has 15 and its pretty damn huge. though the graphic card isnt that great but im not gonna use this for gaming. just movies and study for college and stuff. so this shiuld be good right

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #1037 on:** June 18, 2007, 08:35:52 PM »

the xps1210, imo, is dell's best laptop. go for it. 15inch laptops are usually for people on a budget and can't afford something smaller lol
