How do I listen to the music on my PC in another room?

Digital Living Is there a way I can listen to the tunes stored on my computer in the lounge? This is an open-source program, which means that anyone can write a plug-in for it, such as the excellent AlienBBC, which lets you listen to BBC radio stations, as well...

Will my DAB radio work at 35,000 feet?

Digital Living I love to listen to the game in some way, shape or form. Hello my CNET chums, I am wondering if DAB radios work on a plane. I was talking to someone at work and they believe that a multiband radio might be better?

Which MP3 bit rate should I use?

Digital Living If you use the headphones that came with your player and don't listen to that much music, 128kbps will probably suffice for you. I want to use MP3s on a music player but I have no idea which bit rate to use.

Sony PSP: Accessorise This

Living in a fantasy world

Digital Living The man behind Roma Victor, Kerry Fraser-Robinson, says that since the age of 12 he's been telling anybody who would listen that virtual worlds were going to be the next big thing in entertainment. I'm a big fan of Michael Crichton's daft 1970s...

Are slow dual-core CPUs better than fast single-core CPUs?

Digital Living If you're the type of person that likes to surf the Web while you listen to music, burn a CD and run antivirus software, multi-core really is the way to go. If I have a computer with a 2.66GHz quad-core processor, will it run my software and games...

Cool screensavers for your beloved Mac

Living with infinite digital choice

Digital Living This has the advantage that you know exactly what to wear, read, buy and listen to, but the disadvantage is that it cuts you off from everyone who isn't in the club. You spend a third of your day working, a third of the day sleeping, and you have...

CeBIT 2006: It's all about the stuff

Digital Living We're here to look, to listen and most of all, to fondle the kit. As I pack my bags for CeBIT, I can't help wondering whether I'll manage to see as much technology as I'm taking. I've packed my laptop, of course; a digital SLR for photographing all...

What's lossless audio and do I need it?

Digital Living If you're still unsure whether lossless audio is for you, the best method is to listen to a song in MP3 and the same song in lossless format. I've heard that using lossless audio compression gives hugely improved sound quality over MP3.

Do I need to pay more than £30 for earphones?

Digital Living If you only listen to highly compressed MP3s or FM radio, don't bother spending more than about 30 quid. I've seen earphones cost from about £20 to £500. I can't understand what makes something like that worth so much money.

Lost on the Underground with my PVR

Digital Living The problem with these devices is that at the moment they can be a nightmare to put video on: they remind me of the early iRiver MP3 players, which are fine if you're computer-literate and don't mind navigating file structures, but off-putting if...
