iPod using LAME

For those of you who don't know LAME is an encoding method that creates mp3's with a variable bit rate. It is apparently much more efficient as it increases the bit rate at more complex points in a musical track and decreases it when the extra bits are not being used. It apparently produces

Floppies

Hi folks, Is there an issue with OSX and floppies? I used to be able to use floppies with my iMac through my SuperDisk. But since changing to OSX most floppies will not mount or a message comes up saying the floppy contains nothing that the system can recognise. The same floppies work well on my

Re: iPod using LAME

I don't know if I'm barking up the right tree here BUT iTunes does allow variable bit rate - click the option custom in import and then the checkbox for use variable bit rate encoding (VBR) This is however a minimum bit rate with allowance for higher as the need for better quality arises so I

Hi... I notice that the Apple Store no longer lists the G5's as pending regulatory approval. Now all I need is the $24,000 for the maxed out G5 system :) Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer Join Team

free to a good home :) floppy drive + Duo dock floppy adaptor

I have an external Floppy drive plus a Duo Dock floppy adaptor (includes floppy port and ADB port) that some one can have for the effort of picking it up from my office. year of manufacture is 1991 as we have no functional duo docks I am unable to say if it works but what do you want for

Floppy weirdness and an unrelated Panther tidbit

I've used two TEAC USB floppy drives, and they both copy data under OS X (10.2.6) at about one third the rate of the same device under OS 9. They also take ages to appear on the desktop after they've been inserted. I chalk some of the general slowness to the USB tech, but the discrepancy

Re: Floppy weirdness and an unrelated Panther tidbit

Are your floppies formatted as Mac disks? If not try formatting a floppy as a Mac disk in Apple Disk Utility and see if this improves the copying speed. On Thursday, July 31, 2003, at 04:35 PM, Toby Oldham wrote: I've used two TEAC USB floppy drives, and they both copy data under OS X

I believe iTunes has supported encoding VBR MP3s since version 1, given that there is an article on them at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60794 that predates iTunes 2 by about 9 months. I can't remember when iTunes was first released... 2000 sometime I think? They just don't

Hi Lloyd, when you say your floppies don't work, were they 880K floppies or 1.4mb floppies(the latter have aHD printed in one corner). 880K floppies aren't supported in OS X. Alternatively, could it be the drive itself? perhaps a firmware update? Give me more details and I will try to
