How can I get the best sound out of my Stanton T.50 turntable? I don't use it for anything but playing records but I read that records can sound better than mp3's. Also, the volume is really low even with my surround system turned all the way up, how can I boost that and why is it so low?

Hi. I have a portable tape recorder. I wanted to know how I can record mp3's from my computer to a tape in my tape recorder? The tape recorder has AUX , Mic, and Headphone inputs. What kind of a cord would I need exactly? (links to show me if possible?) Also, after it's all set up, do I just play the songs through a regular music player like Windows Media Player and press record on my tape recorder?

Lots of questions, I know. Any help would be much appreciated.

I want to buy a (digital?) music player, but I'm not sure what to go with. I'd just like a few suggestions on which player I should pick. Here are the things I want included in the player:

1. Most Important-PLAYS .WMA files and protected files--what I mean is, I'd be able to put the songs from my Windows Media Player library on the device and they'd play and work properly.

2. Has a good memory--fits (at absolute least) 5 hours of songs WITHOUT changing their format from .wma. That means no mp3.

3. Can access radio stations--Digital, good quality FM stations with button navigation (you press a button to change station, not spin a wheel) and at least 10 station presets.

4. The following is optional, but it'd be good if the player could display cover art of the songs, have a backlit screen, and a good battery life (1 or more hours). Good transfer speed, and preferably the ability to record sound. Also, it'd be nice if it recorded radio too.

5. Costs anywhere from -0
as you can see, that isn't much...oh, and one more thing: please don't suggest any apple products (i-pods or other) i have a personal grudge with the apple company and don't want to have to do anything with them. thank you for answering...best suggester gets 10 points!

I'm in a band and we are looking for a somewhat affordable and easy way to record our gigs. We have a guy with a mixer and all that, but we want something easier to do at every show. Any ideas on how we could record the shows? The idea we are going for is similar to having an old school cassette player in the audience somewhere, only we want one that records as mp3's or onto cd.

Can I bring a portable media player with mp3's, recorded TV into another country and make it through customs?

I have a creative Zen Vision W portable media player, it has all of my music, recorded TV, home movies, pictures and other media Ect.
I am traveling to New Zealand later this year, and I am worried about going through customs with a device like this, is there any cause for concern? has anyone else gone through customs with a device like this? what about coming back to America?

Thanks in advance

What is the general lifetime of a turntable's needle in terms of hours it can be played before it needs replacement? I received an "Ion TTUSB05" usb turntable for Christmas, and a friend of mine has a "Victoria Classic" model ITC 50 MP3.

Also, does anyone know what kind of needle cartridge the "victoria classic" requires for replacement? I can't seem to find it on the internet.

I no longer have a record player and have found a rare track on 7" vinyl I want as an mp3. Is there a place that will do this for me, without me having to buy specialist equipment that I will only use once?

I need to know what kind of DJ mixer i need to buy. I want to play music directly from my laptop, but i want to have that option to play CD's also.

I am going to be using Virtual DJ and/or Atomix MP3.

If you have suggestions on Laptop software let me know also. But i really need to know what kind of DJ Mixer i would need to buy.
