I got more RAM yay!!!!

Before I only have 512MB of RAM for my PC which as we all know is absolutely not enough especially when I have a 3.0gHz processor. The ram speed things up a good bit. Still not perfect, of course, but at least I can actually do some video editting on my comp now. Woot!

Also, while down in Future Shop to pick up those wonderful, brilliant, terrific, fabulous RAM I also picked up some new headphones. I am now the proud owner of a pairs of Panasonic RP-HS11 headphones to go with my Panasonic SV-SD100V mp3 player.

But of course, if you are ever going to get a mp3 player for more than looks then NEVER buy the SV-SD100V. This player is the most user unfriendly mp3 ever created in the world. It requires a music convertor to convert your music into Panasonic's own special file type, kind of like an ipod. I would not mind that much if the program actually works relatively well like itunes. However, this program - SD Junkbox 5 does not like mp3 files - it either refuses to load them onto the program period and even if you somehow managed to load all those mp3 files on to the program, chances are transferring those files onto your your player means a 30% chance of completely corrupting your player so that you have to reload everything on ALL OVER again.

What I find works best with this dumb program is WMA... which is not the world's greatest audio file type around as we all know. However, since it's the only kind of files that works, I am force to convert all my awsome mp3 into wma before loading it on junkbox so it can convert the files to yet another kind of files before loading it on my mp3 player. Talk about indirectness, difficulties, complications, time consuming, poor usability.

Talk about irony.

A mp3 player that doesn't play mp3.

To be fair, this mp3 player does look very pretty, is very light, surprisingly durable, and produces high quality sound.

So I gues it's a trade off. This player looks very unique and really does stands out in a crowd. It's just also extremely hard to use. A tradeoff. Fair or not depends on you. For me, I am willing to stick with all the inconvinences because I tends to destroy bad quality players really easily. I believe this player may actually be my first player that survive more than four months of constant battering usage by me. This speaks a lot in my opinion.

Okay anyway, back to raving about my headphones... They are very nice and light. The frequency range is pretty large and the sensitiveity is pretty good too. I would rave more about them but then I must go now.
