Members Poker99 Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 I hate digital books. I work my ass of a computer screen all day. Just getting near one on weekends or week nights make me wanna throw up. I love the smell and feel of a real book. Its much easier on the eyes too.

Just getting near one on weekends or week nights make me wanna throw up.I love the smell and feel of a real book. Its much easier on the eyes too. I have a few huge ( 3-4 inches thick) music theory books and wouldn't mind having them on a tablet.... It's also very nice to have such a device for PDF reading ; because so many softwares don't come with a printed manual . I'm not particular about the mechanics of how a music playback device works . Although I remember some very nice album artwork from some CARS and Elton John albums I had ; The art and an easy to read lyric sheet always enhanced my experience . But I would take the time to just sit and listen whilst not doing another multi-tasking activity. I will say this though , allot of folks a pretty lazy about back ups .... I back up and do disc images because we have the kiddies photo's and what not ... That would be a disaster to lose:cry: ... Guess that's the big selling feature of cloud computing .

Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have a few huge ( 3-4 inches thick) music theory books.... That's real thick. Quickly went to my library and the fattest music theory book was 1¾ inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Syntex Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 The problem with downloads is the lack of music portability to vehicles. I paid over $1,500 for a factory radio/navigation unit option. Sure this fine media center has a a jack for an iPod. But driving and handling an iPod is not only cumbersome, it is also slow and hazardous. I can load a CD on to the vehicle's media center hard drive and then use the large touch screen to navigate playlists, albums, and individual songs. Until Apple offers a way to transfer downloads from my Mac to my vehicle I will continue to buy CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members richardmac Posted April 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 I can control my iPod from my factory installed stereo. Works the same as my CD player. I had to buy an expensive kit but it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members smashpen Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Use better quality Flac audio downloads and players other than IPod and I believe you can move audio you purchased from your computer to play in the car much easier and it sounds better anyway than MP3.

Moderators daddymack Posted April 26, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2011 FLAC works great, except not on iPods (which still rule the Western market)...and apparently MS doesn't 'support' it...although it works with windows7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
