Then of course you have different types of computer speaker systems. The Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus and Ultra are 2.1 channel speaker systems meaning that they have a sub-woofer and 2 satellite speakers. I'm not sure what type of system the model is you're referring to as I've not seen

Hi Dane This is a 2.1 system yes. I think what happens with the BW system is that this specific company has been known for its speakers for quite a few years now. So thy probably know about speaker systems. It has a USB port as well as an analog input port. And being a 2.1 system it is very

Howdy! Yep those speakers sound nice and I wouldn't have known about them had you not mentioned them. I can clearly see the advantages and I wouldn't say for one minute that the Ltec Lansing 2.1 Expressionist Ultra system was perfect as its not but its damn good for the price one would pay.

Hi all. I'm toying with the idea of experimenting with various media players. Unfortunately not all are worth the trouble and still others are not accessible with JAWS. At this time I use both VLC witch does a good enough job and WMP which is fine but rather restrictive. I'm referring here to

You're not going to hear any difference in sound quality from player to player. The only ways to improve sound quality are to use uncompressed files, or a better audio card. Winamp and Foobar 2000 are both very accessible. - Original Message - From: Walter w...@blueyonder.co.uk To:

I like Winamp because I can always go to the title bar and tell what's playing. I have never figured out a way to get WMP to display that, unless I am looking in the wrong place. I like the Winamp Book feature, but I can't figure out a way to categorize things. To unsubscribe from this
