  1. so i'm flying into baltimore on thursday, stevo and i are leaving towson around 9pm (unless he can get out of his 100-level class that the nub is taking lol), and i'm flying home on 6am on monday morning (ugh). bringing my sax, my melodica, probably my crappy whistle and recorder as well. couldn't fit the rhodes on the plane =)

    looking forward to seeing EVERYONE! AHHHHHHHH!

  2. I was able to carry a guitar on a plane with me earlier this year, though I think it's ultimately the airline's and/or airport's decision. Plan on having to check it in. Oh, and I've heard it's good to detune it a lot so that the pressure difference on the plane doesn't pop your strings.

    I won't be able to attend Magfest, sadly, as I will be abroad. Perhaps next year.

    good point on the strings. i opened my reed case (normally pressurized and humidity controlled) for the same reason.

  3. This is a known bug and limitation with Windows as opposed to Winamp; there's a limit to how many extensions can be filtered for in the file open dialog, and when Winamp is associated with more extensions than that limit, it stops showing them and you have to pick just one.

    AFAIK, the only way to work around this would be for Winamp developers to design their own file open dialog rather than using the native OS dialog, which imo they really should have done by now, given Winamp's popularity with input plugin developers and hence likeliness of being associated with numerous file types.

    FYI, I use Winamp, and just upgraded to 5.5 on my main machine for testing with Chipamp. It's a little slow to launch, even with the Agent, but my biggest beef by bar is its closed source status and affiliation with AOL...

    is there any way around it?

    yeah, i'm not diggin the AOL crap either. and the winamp remote stuff hogs my entire CPU ALL the time. so i just closed that down. remote was the only thing i was interested in in the new release, and it's kinda ghetto when you're actually listening to your music.

    it would have been nice if they'd have done the same thing the Zunes did - allowed you to send a limited-use song to a friend or something. but i guess that it'd be too easy to just use the equivalent of tunebite on it.

  4. there's a lot of good discussion in this thread. i'm gonna do some research of my own with the ideas that people have posted and see what i find.

    37 gigs of music isn't that hard when you've got ruckus. i mean, dj sets that are four hours long are like 300 megs themselves, and i've got a LOT of those.

    thanks for everyone's input.

  5. well? i'm looking into dropping several hundred dollars on a new, large mp3 player, so what do you all think?

    i primarily want it for listening to music - so, super big screens don't really appeal to me. i also need in excess of 37 gigabytes. i'm also sick of paying a lot for an mp3 player that breaks soon after a get it - so it's gotta be durable.

    you should also say what software runs it.

    anyone got any ideas?

  6. Yeah, I'd have to agree with zircon. The fact that you can only listen to to each pair once makes it as much a short-term memory test as a tone-deafness test. I get the feeling that if I knew musical notation (as in, I could hear a tune and say "that's a, b, b, g, f flat, c flat, d sharp") that I'd do better on the test - which to me only reinforces the idea of it being a memory test.

    f flat lol

  7. i generally use iTunes, but i'm growing annoyed with the simple fact that it doesn't allow you to put in more than one artist for a track. it just takes them and amalgamates the names together.

    i also want one that allows for more organization.

    i loved the old version of realJukebox, back in 2002 or 2003, that allowed you to organize based on any parameter you can think of.

    so, what do you use?
