I just found a very good itunes tip today via Lifehacker. I have a very big mp3 music collection which I’ve painstackingly added the ID3 tags to every mp3 file to make sure that the track and album details appear correctly in iTunes and also on my Xboxs running XBMC, but also so that the [...]

Well, I don’t actually know if TuneSleeve is new but I’d never heard of it before until I followed back the trackback OneTipAday.com placed on my popular post on how to Tidy Up iTunes MP3 Tags.

PS3 Hacking Showing Promise
One of the main reasons I bought my Xbox 360 last year, was because I hoped the Xbox modding community would bring out ‘XBMC360′, a suped up version of XBMC. However, Microsoft’s attempts to make the XBox 360 unkackable seem to have paid off with very little progress made over the last 12 months.

Three lucky readers of CustomPC will get their PCs tweaked and overclocked by their resident overclocking aficionados, Gareth Ogden and James Gorbold. In addition, any upgrades will be thrown in for free so expect some goodies if you’re the lucky winner.

I Should Be Able To Get My Hands On A Few Playstation 3s - Want One?
Last year when the Xbox 360 came out, thanks to my UK ECommerce contacts I was able to get my hands on about a dozen consoles. Dollarman (who was my partner in crime on PGR3 - If you’re a serious Gotham racer you’ll know him), who was one of the lucky recipients, has just [...]

How To Make All Your MP3s Play At The Same Volume
I found this great article on how to make all your mp3s play at the same volume via Digg. I’ve tried using MP3Gain in the past, but I had problems. I think I ran into problems because I used the beta AAC convertor which was silly given that I only have around 200 [...]

I was just listening to my music collection via XBMC and I noticed that despite my significant efforts to keep my iTunes mp3 collection nicely ordered, a lot of my new albums were ‘missing’ album artwork.
At first I couldn’t work out why as I always ensure that all new albums have the correct artwork and [...]
