    Btw about that mediaplayer: wow thats a great small thing. Cant get rid of my Touch though, can do everything with that.


    itunes doesn't recognize FLAC. Or am I wrong?

    Foobar2000?
  6. There are beautiful 'skins' for it. Its the most customizable player i know


  7. it does exactly as I need. Don't even need to change the name of the folders so I can keep seeding aswell. FLAC on a good player with good headphones and a god bootleg (Dublin 3) is amazing
  8. think im gonna go for a PC rather than replacing the laptop. Would be happy using my tv as a monitor and pairing it up with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Get one built or are they decent in the shops?
  9. Depends. I built it myself, but a prebuilt one is a lot easier. It can be a lot cheaper if you know what you want. Do you want to play games? Or just use it for video/audio/etc? Than you can use integrated graphics. 1080P video playback is not an issue for 99% of all chips. That saves at least 80 euro's.

    I can post my pc's specs if you are interested

    no interest in gaming on the PC. Just need a good powerful machine. HD video editing etc would required, hdmi port. DL dvd burner (possibly blu ray) and a thumping big harddrive.

    Some of the big-name brands like Acer etc charge way too much for what they're offering in desktops (and laptops).

    I'd go for one custom-built - then you can pick what you want and don't want, rather than a company just sticking in bits and pieces like a biometric scanner (why?) and catering to the masses who don't know any better, buying something worth $2000 and then using it for word processing and email - I know many of them. But on those, make sure you get at least a year's warranty or more if you can get it for cheap.

    Just have a look around and if you think it's decent value and build, go for it. I recently got my laptop hooked up to HDMI on a new plasma screen - the way to go, I say.

    Customise the hell out of Foobar!

    It's ugly as hell at first, but when you get to figure out how powerful the thing is - and there's plenty of help around - it's amazing. That's what puts people off straight away. It doesn't look as good as iTunes or WinAmp at first to them. That's because they want something plug and play. No fun just installing and using.

    Firefox is the second most-customisable around. Everything can basically be changed.
  12. Then a simple onboard graphics chip will do more than fine. Most video editing programs still rely on processor power than graphic card power.

    This is what i bought:
    Asrock A780GXH/128M motherboard (includes Ati Hd3200 + HDMI port, and 7.1 audio etc)
    AMD Phenom 2 940 AM2+ 3000 Quadcore processor
    4GB Ram
    Corsair CMPSU-400CX 400W (power supply)
    Hitachi 1 TB SAT2 HDT721010 (harddrive)
    Samsung 22x DL SATA SH-S223B BlB (DVD burner)

    Although there are newer quadcores that maybe a better choice quality wise. There a lot of brands and a lot of options that may save you a few bucks.

    If you are a student you could check if you can get a Windows license for free (saves you around 30-100 euro's). I did and Windows 7 works fabulous out of the box.
