ReplyGain is a must for me. It averages out the playback volume intelligently so tracks from different CDs are played back at relatively the same volume. Gapless playback is another must for those CDs with tracks where the audio continues from one track to the next. All MP3 players without it stop for a second or two, ruining the flow of the music. And then I need a good EQ, as I'm continually adjusting it to make up for the low tech (cheap) audio equipment I've got. I know a lot of audiophiles will have nothing to do with any type of EQ at all... But then they generally have $20,000 and up audio systems. > >I think John is referring to the old school > audiophile > >beef with digital\CD\semiconductor audio playback > vs. > >analog\vinyl\tube based audio.

Can't find info in my notes on the one I was looking at last year. But this one I found posted on the NEX II MP3 player website looks really nice: Belkin TuneCast II Mobile FM Transmitter: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=2062&pcount=&Product_Id=166893 Broadcasts all across the FM band. > Never really ventured into WINE land, I tried it a > couple of times on my > desktop (unsuccessfully).
