HDX ripping observation plus DTC question
Posted by: BLee on 21 December 2009
Played a Hendrix track from the HDX and it sounded appalling...as if it was being played in a cocktail shaker full of sand. Put the cd from which it was ripped into my normal Naim player and it was virtually unplayable...gaps, loud crunching noises, skids...the works. Completely buggered cd. So, somehow, the HDX ripping process had managed to take something only useful as a coaster and turn it into recognisable (albeit flawed) music. I was more than a little impressed (though still in need of a new Hendrix disc).
And, can anyone help with the following DTC question (in fact, two):
1) Despite following the instructions to the letter, the DTC (running on Vista) just won't let me construct playlists. At the last point in the process (going to the 'now playing' view) all it shows is the track listing from the cd from which the last song came which was queued to the playlist. Also, using drag or putting in whole cds then deleting what I don't want, if I play the first track on a list, it then proceeds to play the whole cd from which that track came, rather than the rest of the list. Does anyone have any guidance on what might be going wrong? (Btw, the whole process works perfectly from the browser view.)
2) I only seem to be able to access the DTC if I turn off User Account control in Vista. Anyone unlucky enough to be using Vista will know that this then leads to multiple, ongoing irritation. Is there any way round this?
I have searched on the above, but couldn't find any answers. Any guidance gratefully received. Thanks.
