iPod Games - FREE (http://ipodstuff.org/?page_id=21)
These hacked games only work if you have a 5G or 5.5G (iPod Video)
iPods. All but 1 5/5.5G game has been hacked, the unhacked game being

but not of high quality, much less legal. and no, usenet doesn't have
6,000,000 unique tracks, not even close.

maybe Gnutella/Limewire based networks, but it's still a bit of a
crapshoot to find consistent quality like itunes has. but yes, way
better than usenet.

Not all at once, but there are about 5000 DVD+Rs full of MP3,
FLAC, etc., in huge racks on the wall that say otherwise over the
long term...(c;

One of these days they're going to stop it. When that happens, I
will simply disconnect and spend the rest of my life "catching
up" on stuff I've never heard.

About "high quality"......"High quality" what? Rock? Hip-Hop?
What nonsense. You boys remind me of the audiofools who used to
record at 15 ips on massive reels of really expensive tapes...(c;

I want you to test YOU. Go to an audiologist and tell him you
want your hearing scanned and YOUR response graphed. The graph
in ANY human, including YOU, looks just like the outline of the
Swiss Alps from 30 miles away. The only limit to how the music
sounds is between YOUR ears! Those born into the "kilowatt amp
era" will find their hearing so impared spending over $10 for a
pair of cheap headphones is a total travesty. Try it, I dare
you! Ask your doctor who can do it, so he gets his cut.

Now, find an expensive DJ setup in a place like Guitar Center or
other big music store that sells DJ equipment. Take the cheapest
MP3 player you can find, mine was free with a portable drill from
Mitsubishi, and put it in your pocket loaded up with your
favorite music and an adapter cable with mini phone plug for the
player to RCA plugs for the audio board at the store. Tell the
salesman you want to hear YOUR music played on the biggest, not
most expensive, speakers in the stack from any of the amps.
Doesn't that sound just great?! Is it all distorted? The player
volume control is too high overdriving the audio board's input
amp....just turn the player down and the gain on the board up.

Since analog audio was dumped with the advent of the CD, audio
has been sampled at 44.1Kbps and humans cannot tell the
difference because they can't hear above about 10-11 kHz, anyway.
(Audiologist test will prove your high end limit rolloff).
Paying extra for audio bandwidth above what you can sense is
STUPID! RIAA Equalization hasn't changed since the invention of
FM in the 40's. Music is recorded from 50-15000 Hz...NO MATTER
WHAT. FM radio's audio bandwidth is why. Music is to SELL, not
be the greatest adverture on the planet. FCC regulations limit
the FM transmitter's modulation index to protect adjacent
channels from interference, so we limit the audio bandwidth
accordingly or there's hell-to-pay on an inspection. 44.1Kbps
doesn't distort 15Khz unless you have some really expensive
measuring equipment, which you don't. So, it's fine.

MP3 compression above 64 Kbps on a 44.1Kbps audio wave sample is
also wasteful and stupid. Most MP3 samples at 128Kbps add no
perceptable change, at all, to the 44.1Kbps audio sample rate of
the CD the music came off of.....or of the MP3 sample the radio
station is probably playing off satellite compression, either.
What you get from excessive sample rates is the fast compression
can also compress any high frequency pink noise present that gets
wiped out by the slower compression.

I'm sorry, but that's reality. NOTHING you have is a live
performance that hasn't already been bastardized by digital
conversion...starting at a mere 44.1 Khz on that CD in your hand.
Hell, it doesn't even have error correction....

When you head out to the DJ store, put some 64Kbps and 128Kbps on
the player with the 320Kbps oversampling nonsense. Play it
through the big speakers and tell me you can REALLY hear the
difference. If you can, you must have some canine ancestors that
gave you an extraordinary hearing sensors. Noone else
can.....EXCEPT IN THEIR MINDS from the brainwashing and
marketing.
