This is a known "feature" in 1.2.x - I'm not sure if it still exists in 1.3 as I tend to edit my tags in iTunes (I export as AV and import into iTunes as AAC).

Re: playback

So this points to a fault on the ADC (soundcard) in the TT or the USB services. Just try wiggling the SB connector, or try a different USB port. Since you are getting stereo out of the RCA outputs, you could try connecting these to the line in on your PC (you will neeed an RCA to 3.5mm stereo min-ja...

Re: playback

Possibly a hardware fault on the deck or it's on-board soundcard or USB services. Are there any leads you can swap to test this out? From looking at your deck on t'interweb there appear to be RCA outputs supplied with this - if you plug these to a hi-fi or mini system do you still get mono - or do y...

Re: Interview subjects talk too loudly!

Re: How to identify media file types.

Gee, Steve, can't I force Windows to show me the real music filename--with extension--instead of hiding it from me?
