This can be done by burning a CD then ripping it again. What a pain!<br /> 2) So now you've altered a bunch of songs to sound great on a certain set of speakers. What if those speakers break and you get new ones of a different brand? You better be ready to repeat the whole process with the backups you hopefully made.<br /> 3) Changing each song's original data will take a long time.<br /> 4) It's not worth the data management nightmare.<br /> 5) There are more reasons but why go into it?</p> <p>This is my humble opinion of course! This is why the DPS works in real-time, constantly making adjustments to the audio stream to optimize your audio device based on it's hardware profile. You hear immediate results and nothing is permanent. A much easier solution!</p> <p>I hope to see our DPS technology appear everywhere that sound is generated so that folks like yourselves are not left in the audio "dark" so to speak. Perhaps you may be able to find a JVC KD-S100 for your car?

I am one of the music writers for the site here. Very cool post! I will check out some of the music you mentioned for sure. I think all of the DPS team here are pretty open minded musically. I for one like a lot of the type of stuff you mentioned. Especially the electronic chill vibe. Big fan of Massive Attack, Portishead, Underworld, Air...Stuff like that. At the same time...I really enjoy a lot of chill indie folk and rock stuff. Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Jose Gonzalez. So I am kind of all over the place musically. The way to be I think.

Back then I got hooked into American rock music very quickly, although I have US / UK iTunes for archives I suppose today, living in South Africa yet constantly traveling to Europe / US my taste is somewhat very different!</p> <p>Without access to US iTunes I would never have come across the Dutch DJ, Armin van Buuren. I am by no means a "raver" at 52 yet I find this music genre fascinating as when played at full throttle it always invokes those "feel good happy" feelings, no matter one's mood . </p> <p>Truth be told, I am a surgeon specializing in reconstructive or commonly known as, "plastic" surgery. Several times before surgery and when not in the correct mind-set, with my iPhone 3GS and Apple's In-Ear Headphones (which I might add are amazing - a bit pricey at $79.00 on the Apple Store but the sound output, is wow+ for Apple!!), I get quickly back into the correct state of mind! </p> <p>Off US iTunes I downloaded several Armin van Buuren tracks and later from his "fan site" I learned of his upcoming 2008 Imagine concert in Holland - which I attended with a girlfriend. An expensive, but unforgettable weekend as South Africa is not exactly next door!</p> <p>If you have gotten this far reading this - do yourself a favor and download his Imagine Album off iTunes - both the live and recorded version - and then listen to them with your plug-in! Don't take my word - as reviewed, Imagine is widely recognized as the best ever Trance / Dance album. If you enjoyed it, then I suggest heading to <a href="http://www.armadamusic.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.armadamusic.com</a> and get the DVD live recording in HD 5.1 stereo, which is literally spell binding!? - to me DJ's like him at the top of this genre, are today's modern era Beethoven's and Bach's!</p> <p>This past weekend I downloaded off a US torrent site, Pink Floyd's - Delicate Sound of Thunder (live album) - sadly its very hard to find today. I tweaked it using the Mac MP3 freeware app, Audacity - more Bass, Threshold etc and when played through your DPS plug-in, SRS iWow and the Sound Sticks together at full throttle, is awesome. Its sad it never came out in DVD (in VHS only). I used LimeWire Pro to search and download it as a torrent.</p> <p>In many ways being able to travel abroad as extensively as I do, I am extremely fortunate and privileged to absorb a better appreciation of music than say being seated at my iMac on iTunes. I use iTunes to fill in the gaps and without it I'd be lost. For example, attending the London Symphonic Orchestra at The Royal Albert Hall, is a no-brainer compared to going clubbing - the latter, I can do anywhere. I also enjoy the genre lounge, chill, soft house etc. no of which made much sense to me, that is until spending time at the Paris Buddha Bar Lounge or after visiting Ibiza. </p> <p>And what may I ask is yours…? </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/is-your-dps-software-the-answer#post-305 Tue, 25 May 2010 15:13:32 +0000 Joey Butera 305@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>The reason you are having issues with the CD's not reflecting the iTunes EQ is that the EQ works in "real time". This means that the computer is applying the EQ'd sound to each track as you are listening to it and does not change the actual audio file. When you burn a CD in iTunes only the original audio file is written to the CD. The Digital Power Station Plug-In works in a similar fashion; it dynamically optimizes your music in "real time" for the device you are playing it on. For example, if you have Skull Candy earbuds, you would load a DPS profile for that device and you music will be optimized for those earbuds. Here is a link to answer some more questions: <a href="http://www.dpsplugin.com/help/doku.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.dpsplugin.com/help/doku.php</a> </p> <p>The DPS is excellent at smoothing differences in volume between songs and would be a great addition to your MacBook pro. However, you would need DPS in your car to hear the same effect. So look for a very exciting new automotive option for DPS later this year! ;-)</p> <p>If you would like a step by step procedure to alter your audio files using different software I'm sure we can oblige.

I enjoy making cds from my Itunes catalogue for use in my car stereo. Unfortunately, many songs are recorded at quite different volume levels. I make the volume adjustments per song using Itunes' equalizer and burn the cd. The cd plays fine on the MacBook with nice quality external speakers. When I play the cd on the car stereo, unfortunately the volume disparity from song to song is still apparent. Apple technician said he believes that since the original music file is not altered when using their equalizer, this would be the reason the playback on the car stereo does not reflect the adjustment which works fine on the MacBook. He suggested purchasing an audio app to alter the file itself. Is the DPS Itunes plugin the answer?
