I no longer have the installation file, but you can download it from http://mpc-hc.org/downloads/ .

Strange connector
Evening all. I'm not completely sure this relates to either PCs or audio, but I suspect there's a fair chance! I have found in a box of junk a lead with two phono (RCA) plugs on one end and on the other a snall squareish plug about the size of a mini USB connector (the type used for cameras ans such). However, it's not one of those, it has a keyway that prevents it fitting. It seems to have eight connectors in two rows. The phono plugs are yellow and white, which suggests video (and mono audio?) but I've nver come across the other end before and can't find any reference to it anywhere. There's a blob near one end that might have some electronics in it, but might just be a ferrite ring. Does anyone know what it's for? -- rgds LAurence

Then of course at the the wifi side you would need some kind of DAC wireless capability? The existing wireless adaptor on the PC will be fine, but you will need something similar at the Amplifier end. If you have the space for it, a small laptop would probably be the easiest solution; you can then share the music folder on the main PC and just browse to it on the laptop in the same way. The laptop's headphone socket will feed your hifi nicely. Option two is to use something like an internet radio, but this will need extra sending software on your PC - and not all internet radios will work in this type of setup. Sound quality is very important to me so I am wondering whether it is possible to stream music wirelessly in lossless format? In other words is the quality the same as using a direct cable connection? If you use the first method, it will be exactly the same; the limiting factors will be the player software (which can be the same as what you're using) and the audio circuitry in the laptop. For the second, the quality will depend on how you set up the system, but there should be no problem using the highest quality setting.

If removing the TV cable cures the hum, then that's the cause of the problem. Ask the cable company for an isolated outlet, or you can buy a suitable unit from your local TV dealer. What's happening is that you have a voltage difference between the incoming cable (which is earthed at the cable company's junction box in the street), and your local system. The current flowing from the one to the other is what causes the hum. The isolated outlet stops the current flowing.

Allows you to only pick parts of the disc (like the main film but miss out the trailer, for example) and choose things like which subtitle or audio track/s you want. ALso, as the name suggests, will if needed compress the video so it will fit on a standard writable disc.

I have 16 mp3 files all in the same directory which I want to play sequentially in a playlist. These files are numbered sequentially. Thanks to anyone who refreshes my memory. Incredibly easy, only one step is needed. Once all your desired tracks are queued, just hit Control-S, and enter your desired playlist name. Hit save and there's your M3U file. -- rgds LAurence ...This tagline is SHAREWARE! To register, send me $10 ---Taglines by Tagzilla (tagzilla.mozdev.org)
