Welcome to the IHoP v.2

does the SSD fit inside?

I have an mSata SSD inside and room for a 9.5mm thick laptop HDD. I have 500mb of SSD and 500mb of HDD which is a little shy for my music, but close enough as I can yank a few things.

GB? Haha

ROFL, I only have one song on each unit baby

Real question. What format do you use for your music. I've been thinking about re-ripping my CDs to lossless and converting to 256 MP3 for smaller storage like phone.

Do a blind a/b test, it'll be better for you than anything you've ever done.

If you want, mail me some songs I'll encode them for you and send them back. You tell me which ones you can tell the difference between. Cheat, use your headphones. It'll make you happy with your choice.

[///M5 2,833]

I use mp3. Realized I forgot that part of the equation. Amazing how you can't hear some compression at all, but lots sounds like shit.

[///M5 2,833]

And fuck windows. 8 wouldn't accept my key. Upgrade only. Put 7 on, 8 won't install. Probably because there was still remnants of it. Plopped ubuntu on it, formatted the drives and am now installing Windows 7 again.

Makes me REALLY wish someone wrote a Linux frontend for the car that was wroth a shit.

Oh, nothing; just replacing the starter

 

Seriously?

 

 

It is German, after all.

Automotive Grade Linux not look tempting enough?

Is there something downloadable someplace? Looks like something for manufcaturers

I have 3.1, NT, 98, 98SE, 2000, 7Pro, 8Pro and I feel like I am missing one. Always bought for me by work. Nice of them.

 

ME... I fucking hated Millennium Edition.

[///M5 2,833]

Grrr, accidentally installed 7 on the wrong partition. Fuck me. Maybe it'll still let me install 8 on the right one.

I never owned that bullshit.

[///M5 2,833]

Boo, chose the wrong drive to install on. Had to activate 7 before installing 8 to get it to work. Really just want a "fresh" install with no leftover bullshit. Afraid when I say Keep Nothing, it keeps something.

[///M5 2,833]

Fuck it, do it next week. I am going to go bang the wife.

Thought about trying a blind test. Im using 320kbs mp3 right now. Maybe I'll just make a bunch of files and put it on random. Should I throw a few different encoders into the mix?

 

I've also done some null tests for my undergrad research. So based on that I realize there's little difference between high bit rate mp3 and lossless but its not an area I feel understand confidently. In that case it had more to do with the data than whether or not an audible difference exist.

Nothing like getting a call from ADT at 2:30 AM, waking your son up, throwing him in the car, traveling to work, grabbing your son out of the car, running through a building with strobes and horns going off, dealing with 6 fire trucks worth of pissed of firemen only to have it be a false alarm.  Add to that, there were two haul drivers at the place who simply could have walked over to the alarm panel, reset the thing, and all would have been well.

Ill have to get my collection squared away and do it again. I think I settled on 320 where I wanted (IIRC the variable rate mp3 BARELY WLwas any different). I have Media Monkey so I can convert FLAC to whatever on the fly when I transfer it to other devices.

I like to keep FLAC where storage is cheap.

It seems at that price point I would just step up to x86. There are some limitations to ARM when using XBMC if I remember correctly.

Good ole internets
