ASC and Women Magnet - Spiralout1988's Journal

[Shannon]

I have a question to anyone with a solution.

I want to make a playlist for when I sleep because there have been a couple of times where my computer will just shut off in the middle of the night. I plan to use the playlist on my ipod but when I tested the silenced subs on my ipod I was getting a crackling noise coming through my speakers. When I just play the subs from my computer connected to the computer speakers it works just fine.

I had the same exact problem, Spiral. My laptop computer and mp3 player play it fine, however, my desktop computer will produce a cracking noise in Windows Media Player but it seems completely silent (no high pitched noise) in Winamp, like it's not even playing. My laptop would ALWAYS shut off in the middle of the night if I left it on, however, my laptop never shuts off on it's own completely (I leave it on for days/weeks at a time) and while I play the track the entire day on my laptop, no problems. It's very strange, I do not trust the laptop at night. I'm pretty sure it's the equalizer, in Winamp there is a way to adjust it and you can produce all kinds of weird noises by adjusting the bass and what not, not sure what that does to it's effectiveness, I would PM Shannon or Andrew.

You now see the difference between WMP ("Digital Rights Management" limitiing the quality of your audio in software without your permission, courtesy of Microsoft and the RIAA/MPAA) versus a program that is not artificially degrading the audio quality (WinAmp). One of the many reasons I have a problem with Windows and Microsoft.
