Pierre ZFP Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 <It made me wonder what other items of technology do I not know about.> .......There are known unknowns, unknown unknowns .......Lightscribe discs are lovely but a bit priceyA lot cheaper than there were a year ago though!BTW, now that the world has decided on Blu-Ray as the HD DVD standard, you will need a very, very sharp needle for your gramophone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarksinfrance Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Why use lightscribe, when you can buy glossy coated discs that will fit into some inkjet printers, and produce a photo quality cd/dvd in colour; not just black on a coloured background?

tracteurtom Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 OP, I think the MP3 player is one of the greatest pieces of technology ever invented if you like music. You can get MP3/4 players these days with huge memory capacities for very little money. You dont need an iPod, any will do, just pick one you like the look of. Rip your CDs and any you can "borrow" from wherever to your computer, download MediaMonkey (a brilliant piece of FREE software) and convert them to MP3 format. Then download your MP3s to the player and gardening will never be boring again !!!!Trust me, if you like your music, get into this, you WILL be amazed.

Gyn_Paul Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Speaking of rippng...A friend in the UK was telling me he had read a news item which suggested that those of us who copy our LP's onto the computer and then dump the disks could be technically in breach of copyright (like I care, but I was intregued). Was he just winding me up, or has anyone else come across this notion ?paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I would think the authorities would be more worried about the torrents which enables you to download quality mp3 (and movies, software etc) for free, rather than the minority who would copy inferior quality records onto their computer.What happened about this p2p ban that was supposed to come in btw? Not heard a thing about this in ages. The UK was going to do it too, but again, heard nothing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
