See I have a lot of music that I don't really know by name, a lot of old salsa songs that I downloaded and that I cannot find the source CD of, etc, so I also want a rating system. Also, I want a good and fast searching mechanism that would search both the ID3 tags and filenames, something...

Does Nano play MP3s? (if I were to ever surrender and buy an Apple product in the future)

Must it convert MP3 files into the AAC format or no?

Heh. How many gigs of music do you have? I have about 31GB and I've realized that Explorer doesn't give an audiophile much flexibility at all. Afterall, if that were all we needed, there wouldn't be all the music organization programs out there that exist...

I tried iTunes and stopped in 5 minutes because it made no sense to me whatsoever and made things just more confusing. What do you think is the best music organization software package out there? Thanks

Got this e-mail from cheapphonecards.com, seems like a nice deal.

I dunno... Just heard that they're better/faster/less error prone... Am I wrong here? I REALLY don't want to lose my data ever again... also don't wanna spend $390 though ;)

Why not? Will the RAID not function, or just because of having a shared cable? I don't really care for performance as this is an office PC, and have in the past had two hard drives sharing one cable... Is it really that bad?

It has ATA too, not only SATA. Don't wanna bother with a mobo, it's a Compaq PC, AMD XP 3000+

IDE. I was thinking of this: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=IDE-SFTX2E&c=pw but it's expensive... and it's the lowest price... but if that's what it costs, so be it

I have now spent over half an hour trying to find a RAID card for a RAID 1 setup. I don't want an ATA card which uses software for RAID, I want a true hardware RAID. Also, sometimes I see cards listed under the RAID category but which do not list RAID as one of their capabilities. Prices range...

Nope, no 3d apps... only app I use that is graphics-related is Photoshop... and not professionally, so i can get by with a cheaper card.... Well, I haven't decided, because I bought my 8500 for like $70, but can't find a PCIe card for that much except the X300 SE.... :( So, why exactly can't...

Lol... thanks ... but no, thanks. I've tried entering the world of gaming... there hasn't been a single game that I could play for more than 30 minutes without getting bored... with the exception of GTA Vice City... and even with that - I need to work on my thesis now, so I don't have time...

I bought a new Dell PC. I was planning to stick my 8500 in it but was saddened to see that it didn't have an AGP slot. It has a PCIEx slot and PCI slots. So, should I get a PCIEx card or a PCI card? Are the PCIEx cards more expensive just because it's new technology? I don't really care as...

Well, really, I wanted a card that would be able to play today's games decently (not great, I understand)... A 9600 pro was too expensive at $100+, cuz I wanted to spend no more than $60... So, the 5600 deal is at tigerdirect and the 8500 at overstock.com... I initially thought the 5600 is MUCH...
