So I said screw Sony and went iPod. And it's the coolest thing ever! [/quote'] heh, that makes sense, Everything Sony makes isn't worth cr-p. a friend of mine once had a sony TV, did you know those things will not let a nintendo product work on them, but they WILL let a Sony product run? Every time my friend tried to run his Gamecube or N64, the TV shut itself off or wouldn't display anything. But when he borrowed a PS2 from a friend of mine and hooked that up, it ran just fine. Go figure sony would do something like that. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmon45 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 That is crazy that Sony tvs don't use nintendo stuff. I will never buy one now. I suppose if nintendo made televisions they would not work with the playstation. Compines always do that kind of thing. Thats why you can't mix intel boards with AMD cpus and vice versa. I got my cd player and car stereo from JVC and they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XG Fox Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thr reason I liked the Sony CD players is that it came with the SonicStage burning software, which could burn your mp3s onto the CD in the Atrac3Plus format, which compresses the music file to 1/20th of its original size when burned, and it still has the great quality. At that size, you could fit up to 490 songs onto a CD! And no other CD player can read that format, only Sony ones can, well, because it's a Sony burning format. But when my CD player died, I said heck with CDs and went iPod. And it's the best music related thing that's ever happened to me since. I love it! iPods rock!

Closest i've come to an iPod is an iRock... they're similar. Don't know exactly how iPods work, but with iRocks, you have to copy the MP3 music file onto a little card (REALLY little... mine made the GCN cards look huge...) and insert the card into the player. Newer iRocks also allowed you to copy some music directly to a card built into the IRock, then insert a card with even more songs on it. Mine broke, though, the screen cracked on me, so it won't run... I think i should get an iPod next time... probably for x-mas next year... since I'm trying to talk my dad into a Photoshop program, but it costs $120. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I don't think you would actually put that many songs on a CD. No matter how small the files are you are still limited to 80 minutes. Unless you made a data disk,but then it would not work on a cd player. The songs would have to be really short. You could put on 480 songs that were 10 seconds long. Well that would not really work out either, I don't think there are any cd players that support that many tracks. Why would you make CDs that only played in Sony players? What if you took them to a friend's house or something? I think I am going to get an Ipod soon. It would be cool to take all my music with me everywhere. Now that I have Winamp pro I an make my own mp3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sony Atrac3Plus format compresses the music file to 1/20 of it's original size, it's still the same length, but takes up less space on a CD. Time is not a factor here. And Sony players are the only ones that can read them, primarily because it's a Sony format, the other companies don't have their own audio file compression formats. And yes, it would support that many tracks, it just would take quite a while to initialize the CD in the player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 You are ovbiously very knowlagble on this topic. I guess I know to ask if I have a music question. I can see that I was wrong and don't mind being corrected. I feel so informed. A CD with that many songs would be ridiculus, but funny. Let me know If you ever make it.

XG Fox Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 One, I don't have that many songs. Yet. and Two, my Sony CD player that could read that format died after 5 months of use, so I basically said "Screw Sony," and went iPod. It just suddenly stopped reading Atrac3Plus format CDs one day, can still read regular mp3 cds just fine, but the Atrac3Plus format was the PRIME reason I had it. Oh, and it tended to skip every quarter second or so, and Sony CD players are GUARANTEED not to skip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Goodness All this talk of Sony stuff breaking makes me scupicious of them. I have no Sony products but Some of my friends have had their playstation2s fail. My stereos are by JVC and they work fine. I really like my Benwin spreakers. I got a LCD from Samsung. It broke in the first week,but now the replacement is great with no problems. That sounds bad about the CD player. But you know a guarentee means nothing these days.

Gamecuber459 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Warantees really matter though. I swear, it's like, every device has a little bomb in it. The second the Warantee expires, it goes off. That's my old computer for ya. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmon45 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yeah, it's like that with warrantys. Cars for example. If you are warenteed for 80000 miles you can expect to break down at 8001miles. It happens all the time. Computers can last a long time though,if you care for them. My old computer with the 3dfx video card from a very long time ago still works. If you value your computer get fans and air filters to keep it cool and dust free. Also use a good surge protector and UPS(uninteruptible power supply). If you take good care of it it should last long as long as it is not a cheap piece of junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuyasha Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I'd have to say Halo 2 is my fav of all time. Then the Zelda series. I started with OoT, and I just can't let go... *Hugs Collector's Edition Disc* The definitely the Metroid games, especially the Primes. They're just great, nothing matches what Metroid does. Then the StarFox Series. It's fun....Lots of fun.... What then? Pikmin, I guess. Quirkiest game I've ever played. And it's really interesting, too. And those're my favs. Everything else I just buy 'cause it's a good game. No fanaticism on them, though. -Inuyasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuyasha Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I just sorta forgot about that game after a while.... I liked it, though. I'd play it again, too, if I weren't so busy trying to collect every trophy in SSBM.... 26 left. 26!! Ugh.... I suppose that SSBM is the most addicting game I've ever played. From a technical standpoint, it could be a lot better, but it's a lot of fun and there's TONS of replay value to improve your skills in Adventure to improve your skills in Melee. And playing with your friends is a different experience each time. Overall, from a technical and gamer standpoint, it's perfect. It achieves everything a game should, but even it has room for improvement. It's a masterpiece of both game and programming.... IMO. -Inuyasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
