    Mass .m3u creator

    Hello all, I'm looking to batch create ~500 m3u's. Currently in my music folder, each album is in it's own folder. Within that folder I'd like to place an m3u for that album. It is very tedious to create them manually, and I can use a few apps that i have to do them one at a time, but I'd like...

    Does OCZ 5+ go bad?

    I found this old thread, but rather then necro it I would just ask a more specific question. The manufacturer's website doesn't really have any information, and the instruction page has been removed. I purchased a 3g tube of OCZ ultra 5+ thermal paste about 6 years ago, but never used it. I've...

    NAS hardware

    I'm fairly certain that almost anything can be used to build these. A friend of mine will be replacing his e350 in his HTPC as soon as the e450's come out (don't ask me why). That being said, he said that he's more than willing to give me his e350 for free. So naturally I'd like to use that...

    anyone use a decent standalone rss reader in windows?

    I use Thunderbird for convenience, but my wife does not have a mail client installed. Thus to install Thunderbird would be wasteful. I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a standalone reader for her to use with a decent ability to manage feeds. Also she is using win7.

    Need a new rpm distro

    So I generally run Mandriva but it appears to be heading the way of the dinosaurs, and have enjoyed the .rpm installations. I don't need to use rpm's, I can use anything. It'd just be nice to stick with it. Some have suggested that I use Fedora or openSUSE, but I am just not sure. The only...

    Standardizing audio volumes

    As we know, cd's of old used a lower volume level when they were produced. I was wondering if there is an application to increase the volume level of tracks for some of the files that I own. The formats are both mp3's and ogg's. In the past I would burn them with nero then rip the back, but...
