Swap Magic - Play Playstation 2 Import And Backup Games - Without a Mod Chip!
I have to admit. I had no idea what swapping discs meant, and certainly no idea what the heck a Swap Magic meant. I have been a proud owner of a Playstation 2 for quite some time now. I bought it the day it was release (yes, I stood in line - like everyone else) and haven't looked back since. I love Playstation 2 games. Even with my Xbox 360 sitting proudly on my entertainment unit shelf, I still get excited about ...

Audio Mastering is an extremely popular and scientific means of transferring and preparing recorded audio from the source to the data storage device, referred as the master. The process is mainly applied in the post production stages and involves high end sound processing techniques. The Audio Mastering process has experienced a series of transformations which started from the 1950s until the advent of digital recording in the late 1970s. During this stage the studio recording was completed ...

Recently, Musiq Soulchild released his first ever christmas album, 'A Philly Soul Christmas'. Now, as much as I normally prefer to leave reviews to 'critics' (ie people who really don't know much at all about music to begin with), the reviews this disc has received since it's release compelled me to write a few words. It would appear that the vast majority of 'critics' who decided to review this disc so far are strict traditionalists...and, admittedly, if you're a traditionalist where ...Read the rest of this entry »

In the late 1940's, the 45-RPM record replaced the 78-RPM
record. The 45 was smaller, less breakable and could be made and
sold more cheaply. Despite these advantages, it took ten years
before the 78 became obsolete, and in the meantime, record
companies sold their product in both formats. In 1982, the major
record companies introduced the compact disc, which offered a
smaller size, 'perfect' sound, and less likelihood of damage in
day to day use. As the compact disc offered a much larger ...

Home entertainment systems have come a long way since you ooh'

When it comes to video playback, my laptop takes a lot more of the beating nowadays than the DVD player. Long waits at the airport and land travels that take hours find me watching movies on disc or downloaded. Add to that home videos sent by email, various versions of different film projects, as well as the occasional must-see video on YouTube.
Many users, myself included, have come to appreciate the obvious features of the VLC Media Player Download. It plays a multitude of formats, allowing ...

The integration of high impact sound effects is no longer only for the sound design professionals. Many working professionals are integrating professional sound effects in their productions, each for their own reasons; some for video productions, some film background ambiences, audio or radio production or multimedia productions such as PowerPoint presentations. While many look to download SFX to enhance their presentation, the different formats that downloads come in can cause a lot of ...

The portable CD player ain't what it used to be. New formats
enable a single disc to hold up to 675 songs. That's up to 45
hours of music on a CD mp3 player that fits in your pocket or
purse.
Personal CD players can play pre-recorded CD's and HD
(high-density) CD-R/RW discs burned in formats like mp3 and WMA.
They'll hold 30+ hours of music. MiniDisc players using the
ATRAC3Plus technology are smaller, with even larger capacities.
Sony developed a three inch CD in the early 1990's that can ...

In 1982, Sony and Philips introduced the compact disc, a digital
music playback format that used a laser to read the disc. The
compact disc was expected to quickly replace the long play
record album (LP) that Columbia had introduced in 1949. The
product took off quickly, even at a retail price that was nearly
double that of a record album, and sales of record albums
plummeted. The CD, as compact discs quickly became known,
offered what audio magazines called 'perfect sound forever'

Whoa! Your boss tells you he needs a hundred copies of his
presentation on CD--by tomorrow morning. Since he wants to
impress the clients he also wants professional-looking labels on
the CDs as well. A simple marker won't cut it this time. Maybe
it's time for a desktop duplicator or to hire a duplicating
service. Since most household computers are now equipped with a
drive that has the capacity to burn discs, it is no surprise
that disc duplication has become big business. But sorting

Movie rental shops are available just about anywhere they go. It is great to have the option to be able to see all of the titles available and pay to rent your DVD movie for a certain number of days. However, these services are quite expensive if you use them regularly, and you may even be hit by late fees if you do not return your disc on time. If you are a movie lover then here are some reasons why you might consider online DVD rentals instead.
