Why not use Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3?

Not all MP3 players will support Ogg Vorbis.

I am trying to locate a specific firing pin block spring and trigger return spring for my HK P2000SK to lighten the trigger pull from 8 pounds + down to 5.5 or so. No luck yet but I will find them.

You could always just work out with finger weights :zoinks:

iRiver brand MP3 players do. But good point, because my SanDisk Sansa does not support OGG files as well. But I dislike the side effects of MP3 compression on sound, especially when it's 128 kbps or less. Sounds like a typical YouTube video.

My tape recorder that I have recently bought has six 1/4" ports for headphones on the left side, which is far too big for most headphones and speakers to plug into, which have 1/8" jacks. So I have ordered an 1/4" to 1/8" male to female adapter, which was 99 cents on eBay. Strangely enough, the front microphone and aux in ports are 1/8". The tape recorder does have a good speaker built in, but I'd rather plug in my computer speakers which are 2.1 and has a 1/8" jack.

Here is a picture of my Eiki tape recorder, which was almost 40 dollars in total! Half of that was shipping! :zombiefuck:



Excellent! Looks like crap. Do you bite your fingernails?

Of course it looks like crap! It's a "commercial" tape player built in 2002! And I do not bite my fingernails, I clip them.

Any format will sound bad at 128 or less.

Both of my iAudio (Cowon) players, as well as my phone, support Ogg, btw. I like the format but I prefer FLAC.

You just need to get a head start.  She doesn't have legs.

Not up stairs you can't.  And you can't reach the elevator buttons.
