If its the pair I'm thinking of then they are "Power Assisted" meaning that they plug into an AC outlet, as I recall Barry wanted something which was powered entirely from the USB port, the Logitech LS150 speakers are such a kind, not much amplification but then again! not much power can be had from a USB port.

The speakers you refer to at the Apple store are very good and I'll be purchasing a pair myself shortly.

Hi Barry. I just heard about a new totally digital streeming speaker that isusb powered. They claim they can get more volume without distortion by keeping the signal digital right to the amp. They are sold through Apple stores online so probably will be in stores to check out. I'm hoping our local dealer will have some so I can chec them out.
Palo Alto Audio Design Musik Digital

Palo Alto Audio has 2 models; Musik M u s i k
and
Cubik C u b i k. The latter use external power and should be more powerful.

There web page is hard to use but here it is:

I started out looking for those Rock speakers. It appears only sites that have them are in Australia.

Yamaha also used to make a usb power speaker that was claimed to have greater volume because it was an all digital design but I don't have info on them now.

Dane,

The point you are missing here is that I have heard a pair of speakers which meet my requirements in full. They have an adequate amount of output volume and a sufficient amount of base. Unfortunately, they don't appear to be available still. They are a little more expensive than others I have seen (around $35) but that is not an issue for me. I have heard 3 other sets of USB speakers and the Rock 302g are streets ahead of the rest. If anyone can tell me where I can still buy them, I would be most grateful.

Unfortunately I can't demonstrate them so you can judge for yourself.

Thanks,
Barry Chapman

Yep, thank you for underscoring the point I've been trying to make, any good USB speakers - I think the one's I spoke of earlier are
Bose - need that extra power from the wall.

Having said all that though it may be that some new speaker models out there use digital amps, that being the case then USB power
may suffice but I'd imagine they'd be quite expensive.

The ones I have which are the Bose Companion 5 multi media speakers do meet 2 of the things you need. They sound really good for speakers that are kind of small, and you only use the USB for the audio output. Sadly though you do nead to plug them into the wall. Other then that they are pretty good. They
are a 3 peace surround sound system.

Subject: Advice wanted on USB speakers

Please can anyone advice me of USB computer speakers which meet the
following criteria.

1. Must be powered via USB.

2. The sound source must be via USB, that is, not a separate lead into the
audio output jack of the computer.

3. The sound quality must be good with a reasonable amount of base.

I have one set which satisfy my requirements, but am wanting to buy another
set.  The ones I have are the Rock USB speakers 302G,
but they apparently have been discontinued.

I purchased a different set on spec over the Internet, the Gigabyte GP-S4600
2.0 Speaker - USB Bus-Powered Audio System, but didn't
discover until I received them that only the power is via the USB port.
Apart from this, to adequately describe what I think of the
sound quality, I would need to use language which is not suitable for the
list.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry Chapman

There are two bookmark files.  They are winamp.bm and Winamp.bm8.

If using Windows XP, you will find them in C:\Documents and Settings\your
name\Application Data\Winamp

The path is a little different for Windows 7.

Hi,  does any one know where they hid the bookmark file in the later
versions of winamp.
There must be some way around this?.
Thanks for your help.
