So seeing a bit of a mixed bag in terms of customs on the threads recently. Just thought I'd start a fun poll. Customs for or against? Any experiences good or bad? Decided to go custom once and for all or sticking with universals for other reasons?

Hidizs AP60 now on penonaudio site.  Was available for pre-order for a short time but now not able to add to cart presumably due to lack of stock from first batch.   Was wondering if anyone did order it?   There was a little discussion about it in the ap100 thread but figured it could probably...

Hi Was wondering if there were any decent mp3 touch screen players that don't cost the earth that aren't apple?

Hi   So I'm curious more than anything.   Back in the day I used to use (and still have) an Iriver 120 player.  Loved it, used it everyday at work (what do you mean it's not an ipod?!) and so on.  However time has not been kind to the size of the thing and whilst I still love the sound of it...

Hi   So I'm after the best most comfortable way to block people talking without frying what's left of my 43 year old ears.   I work in an open plan office with a fair bit of chat (some work related, fair enough some not).  Was just wondering what's the best way to block or cut this out so I...

So after a long time without any real update on the dedicated mp3 player market we suddenly have quite a few coming out which is refreshing to say the least.  We have the new Fiio x3 (and x5 to come) the new dx50 from Ibasso following in the wake of it's more expensive brother the dx100.  We...

Hi   So with (finally!) some nice weather in the uk so begins the hayfever season.  My eyes have been itching the last couple of weeks but been able to manage it more or less ok with drops.  However today the full blown stuff started (naturally whilst I'm at work staring at a vdu screen all...

Hi   So I've got a load of m4b's that play fine on the ipod.  However I'm thinking of rockboxing my classic as I hate itunes (always have).  As such I need to convert the m4b's to mp3's.  I've tried the m4b file in rockbox and it doesn't want to know.  I've also tried converting to m4a and...

Hi I'm beginning to think ssd's and ipods are too much hassle right now. I've started to look at the toshiba 240 drive instead as an alternative. Question is can it be fitted in the latest ipod classic without having to get a new back at the same time? cheers

Please lock/delete!

Plese lock delete,

Hi   So been playing about with rockbox.  Like it except for that fact that it doesn't seem to play m4b files for me.  Of course what do I have a lot of? M4b.  Don't really want to batch convert the lot (they are all nicely tagged audiobooks) so are there any other options? Cheers

Hi   Saw this article whilst browsing at lunch today.  What do you think of it :-   http://tech.uk.msn.com/audio/top-10-over-ear-headphones   Cheers

Hi   Tempted to do the iriver 120 ssd mod.  Found the kingspec ssd for a reasonable price but wanted to know one thing.  If I'm doing a straight swop from hd to ssd do I need any sort of adapter?  I was under the (wrong?)  impression that a kingspec with ide would just be a straight swop...

Hi So my ipod touch is on it's last legs.  Headphone jack dying, charge socket virtually impossible to connect (atm I can just about get a connection for a charge).  I also have a Iriver h120 (that had a hard life, used every day yet original battery still holds a 5 hour charge!) laying...

Hi   Well my 3rd gen 64 gig ipod touch is in need of repair.   The headphone jack is failing fast, and the charge/dock cable doesn't go in all the way.   Was just wondering if anyone in the uk had had theirs repaired and who with?   Can't really upgrade as my work place does not...

http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/deal_of_day.php?amp3sid=gud68hrcfgvhpprjntnmcfi2k0   Anyone tried these?

Hi So whilst I'm familiar enough with iems and portables the world of amps is a whole new ball game.  I'm particularly interested in the fiio as they are easily available in the uk and widely regarded anyway.   I have a 64 gig ipod touch.  I'm fairly certain that the headphone jack on it...

Hi   Was just curious really.  Is there a free easy way of recording internet radio streams on mac osx?  There are a few three hour shows that I quite like at the weekend but very rarely catch the whole thing.  Would like to be able to dump them onto my ipod so I can listen to them whilst at...

Hi   Until recently I had no problems viewing headfi on either mac mini with safari or fire fox or my ipad 1 with safari.  Don't know what's happened but in the last couple of days Headfi refuses to load on the ipad (crashes to desktop everytime), and on the mac mini just grinds everything...

Hi   Was just wondering.   Is the Clip plus sdxc compatible?     Cheers.

Talk about any games recently you've been playing on your ios devices. Oh and any good decent freebies/offers could go here as well.   My most recent one is an endless runner called Temple Run.  Currently free well worth checking out.   Another is Jetpack Joyride, also free (hey free is...

Hi Was wondering really.  I've got a lot of audiobooks built up over time, some spoken word, some full cast audio plays, some comedys etc.  Far too many (easily over 30 gig atm and that's been compressed!)to sync even to my 64 gig ipod touch (those apps really eat the space up!).  Is anyone...

Hi   Was just wondering really.  Got some old impressions lying around from when I had a reshell done (which have gone back for readjusting around the anti tragus/tragus area).  Can I use these again?   I've tried popping them in and get a good snug fit.  Main reason I'm  asking is because I...
