Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

I do also use a discman on a regular basis. Not really cumbersome; nice alloy slimline design with id3 tagging, fits in my back pocket. My minidisc gives me around 45 hours before needing recharging and only runs off one battery though.
I couldnt find where I said anything
about re-recording (replacing a damaged disk maybe?)

At least with iPod or similar devices, there's no chance of damaged disks thru scratching, dirt & grime, exposure to heat or whatever.

Must be damned cheap digital cameras then. Admitedly the ones I trained with cost multiples of thousands of $ each, not to mention a pro slr. But the one that's here seems to be lasting ok. I still think it gets back to battery care. I don't know much about the other portable mp3 players, except a comment from a fellow uni student a few years back that the mini disk they had had a lot of short-comings. I don't know what brand it was.

Yeah lord.. The entry level ones arent very good (just as entry level mp3 isnt).

Minidiscs are pretty impossible to damage though, theyre enclosed. Sometimes manufactuers produce budget
disks which can become damaged by enrty level/ defective units,thats about it. Been using the format for around 6
years and only ever come across two damaged disks.I dont know anyone who`s owned one & then "upgraded" to mp3,genuinely dont. Also, I disagree with that earlier point about sony investing primarily in mp3 for the future. Theyre just keeping up with market demands,being diverse (as good companies usually do).
Mp3 units are the flavour of the year since they became more affordable. I think the format WILL eventually be the standard but not right now... it`s just not developed enough or as cost effective.

Well just to stick a dagger into the last surviving water cannistor in the desert, lol whatever that means; as a choice I'd prefer non-lossy music. Audiophiles also go this road. That means alternative formats. Problem is, mp3 players can generally only play mp3 formats (there's some exceptions) such as iPod & apple lossless. ok so the files are much larger, but they are identical to cd quality or aiff/wav extracted directly from cd. apple lossless is about 50-60% of the wav/aiff size. mp3's range between 10-25% of original size for b/w 128-320 kbps. Some music simply doesn't convert over to mp3 very well. mp3 knocks off the top frequency ranges, & maybe the bottom ones as well. It also removes a lot of the headroom when playing back on headphones. Try it. Listen to a song with a wide range of frequencies, lots of stereo separation, & then play an mp3 at either 128/320 kbps. I notice with some mp3 songs even at 320 kbps. I playback some music from the comp thru the speakers also (a 2nd set of speakers for this room.)

Okay some people are somewhat frequency deaf or are not experienced with head-room, but it matters for some like me.

I ran into some songs encoded in .flac
Losless compression like .ape
I downloaded the flac installer wich contains a WinAmp plugin and a coding/decoding frontend....
Superb quality at about half the size of a .wav and last but not least: it's opensource
Aparently they use a compression tecnique like .zip and .rar
Files can easily be converted back to .wav
