However, if you do this, you may not be able to get extra tag info such as album art. Now the review... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405423558276 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:35:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405423558276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405423230596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - The Toshiba gigabeat T400 is a little portable media player that runs Microsoft's portable media center software. Weighing 2 oz. (58g) and measuring 3.37"x2.12"x0.39" (54mm x 85.6mm x 9.9mm), it feels like it's not even there in my hands. It can play... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405423230596 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:32:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405423230596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_381661843076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - I've had the T100 for just a few days (including a weekend of heavy shooting). I love it. Compared to similar offerings from Panasonic, Canon, Fuji, to name a few, it's expensive, but it has these following features that I find useful -- and they do work... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~381661843076 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:55:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_381661843076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_375646817924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - I was looking for a basic boombox and after one disastrous model from a no-name maker, I decided to get this Panasonic. I've been quite happy from Day One. First of all, this boombox has pretty good sound for a small audio machine. It also has four... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~375646817924 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:47:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_375646817924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_375646097028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - This high-quality Sharp microwave oven, with 1 c.f. of total capacity and about 0.8 c.f. of usable capacity (according to Consumer Reports), is a great performer. It heats food quickly and for the most part evenly. The turntable turns automatically and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~375646097028 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:35:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_375646097028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_365939166852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - Have been driving my 2007 Outlander ES for a while now. Got it at a great deal - paid less than Consumer Reports' "CR Bottom Line Price" (thanks to Mitsubishi's secretive incentives to dealers). Styling is exactly what I'd always liked and build quality... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~365939166852 Wed, 23 May 2007 14:10:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_365939166852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_359917063812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - Unix in a Nutshell is not for the faint-hearted. It tries to be a concise reference on Unix but ends up being incomplete (esp. with regard to Linux). A lot of commands are explained cursorily without complete options or examples. The presentation is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~359917063812 Thu, 10 May 2007 09:49:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_359917063812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_359916867204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - Full Auto 2 is a huge disappointment, esp. since it's a Sega game and I expected so much more. I had played the original Xbox 360-exclusive Full Auto and it was a total disaster. Full Auto 2, exclusive to the PS3, is a much improved version, but overall... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~359916867204 Thu, 10 May 2007 09:48:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_359916867204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_359916736132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - As a programming cookbook, this book presents a bunch of problems that you, as a Perl programmer, may encounter in your everyday development work and then shows you both the code that solves the problem and a lengthy discussion on how the code works. So... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~359916736132 Thu, 10 May 2007 09:44:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_359916736132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_359916605060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - My boy loved this rocker from about 1.5 months to about 6 months, when he had pretty much outgrown it. During those 4.5 months he always had a great time playing in it -- and it worked really, really well to induce him to poop. So every time we wanted... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~359916605060 Thu, 10 May 2007 09:43:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_359916605060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_359916277380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - The P-Touch QL-500 is a label printer that connects to your Windows 2000 or XP PC (not sure if Vista is supported) and allows you to print custom labels with text and graphics. The labels will be printed on blanks sold by Brother but they are reasonably... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~359916277380 Thu, 10 May 2007 09:40:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_359916277380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336489057924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - I didn't like the movie itself but was intrigued by Charlize (hehehe...) when I saw a bit of this film at my friend's house, on regular DVD. So I rented the Blu-ray version from Netflix as soon as I got my Playstation 3. I was totally unimpressed by the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336489057924 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:47:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336489057924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336488795780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - Big Brain Academy is a collection of repetitive "games" that test your memory and vision. You can choose to test yourself or practice. Either way, the number of game choices is limited -- and unlocking practice games is a pain as you need to play the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336488795780 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:44:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336488795780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336486895236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - I bought this high-speed MSD (Memory Stick Duo) card to use with Windows Vista's ReadyBoost feature.

I'm glad I played it as a rental instead of shelling out $30 of good money for it. The storyline is both nondescript and nonexistent, and the game... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336486502020 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:25:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336486502020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336486108804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - In case you didn't know, the attractively clad woman on the cover is Carol Vorderman, a 50-year-old quiz gameshow host in the U.K. She's written a book or two on the game of sudoku, so now she "hosts" this game. This is really a very simple and plain... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336486108804 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:19:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336486108804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_323138588292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - I bought this high-speed MSD (Memory Stick Duo) card to use with Windows Vista's ReadyBoost feature.

I got it a few days before Christmas and at first he was a little afraid of this talking toy that thrashes his right arm and bends over. But soon he grew fond of TMX Elmo and now loves to watch Elmo do its antics.

This game claims to improve your brain power (but, alas, it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~301426314884 Thu, 4 Jan 2007 10:15:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_301426314884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_301408882308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hbj200 - Serious Warning to all parents: Consumer Reports, the independent consumer magazine, called a specific model of this walker, model 14565, "unacceptable" because it's unsafe.

I rarely buy refurbished products, but when I saw this Sharp 20" LCD TV on Amazon selling for a good price, I bought it for my bedroom.
