No french press can compare to a good espresso machine. You're comparing a heavy burned flavor from a press against the smooth full bodied flavor from a machine.

Use WinLAME, which is a free encoder that has different encoding presets using LAME. I believe you can make custom presets also. Select a directory and it automatically transcodes your mp3s to the selected bitrate of your choice to another. Also has presets- one made for portable devices which can shrink down the file…

Cutting out silences and other things when you have thousands of songs? Sounds a bit too time consuming to save only a few megs of space.

2 notes from reading 2 of the above comments- i disagree about killing the power first thing- you want to minimize the amount of liquid going into the computer. When you spill something onto your pc, you only have a few seconds to react. In your moment of panic, you may pull out the power but completely forget the…

In addition to CTRL-Tab to cycle through form fields, hitting the Space Bar when you have focus on either a checkbox or radio button will let you check them, saving time in having to do it with your mouse.
