great to see the circle has grown.. back then there were only a few of us. believe it or not the first e60 forumer from sg i met was totoseow.
yah hor... Fireplace.. i am depressed! no more mod for the car ...need to mod myself ...SK-II where are you? or what is the trick?
nuvi360, audiophile is another disease. there are speakers out there cost S$150K by Kharma or Wilson Audio and amps that costs S$60K and more as well. never mind that... speaker cable and interconnect that cost $10K to $30K for a 3 meter pair. bottomline to these guys is a piano has to sound like piano when played back.. one can spend a fortune chasing that and the so called goose bumps effect.
how many bro here actually into this? i am still a two channel purist.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/rolleyes.gif)

There are many mp3 rippers out there which are freeware or shareware... I used to use MusicMatch until I got my iPod and iTunes does the job perfectly these days.
For iTunes, once you insert a Music CD... it will show all the tracks and attempt to seek their database for the individual track names/author/singer etc ... sometimes even the Album artwork. But you need to to be online for this to work...
Don't think there is a difference with "iPod mp3 vs Windows mp3"... the only difference in mp3 files are the bit-rate when you did the ripping... you can have it from as low as 64bit... we usually go for 128bit which is gd enough yet small in file size...
Similarly, I managed to burn a bunch of mp3 CDs using the mp3 already stored within iTunes... it was a simple process... just copy your selection to a "PlayList" and ensure its within 700mb or 650mb (depending on your CDRom whether its 80mins or 74mins)... and then click on the "Burn to CD"... Use a CDR where possible as its much much faster (maybe 3mins)... the CDRW is alot slower (maybe 15mins).
My SLK happen to play MP3 in the 6 Disc Changer..

BTW... how do you guys who use the iPod Video convert existing DVD files to iPod format? I use ImToo... which cost me an arm...

if you encode a cd using itunes, by default it would use AAC not mp3. you can specify it to save to mp3 from the preferance menu.
![](http://aycu19.webshots.com/image/2698/1023311516341275083_rs.jpg)
you can also ask itunes to conver to mp3 for you by right clicking on the aac song.

boulder amp mono block 2050 US $75,000
boulder preamp 2008 US$31,000
throw in dCS digital source and Wilson audio X-2 Alexandria and some good cables. the bill will come up to US$220K easy.
but remember also you need a dedicated room to spare for the set up with good acoustic and so on!
just writing this.. i started to itch liaw!
OK.. i always forget to ask this.. during u-turn for those of us with active steering do you feel a buzz/vibration on the fron wheels at certain angle and speed? The buzz/vibration almost feels like you hitting the white line on shoulder of CTE. I suspect my active steering motor is causing it. anyone?
