Thanks. I'm starting to dig these Amazon cheapies. Even if they never make to collection, fun to stream from phones Amazon Cloud Player.

Good stuff. If you hadn't used the HEARTMP3 code yet it comes out to a buck.

I still mainly purchase used-like new CD's on Amazon or "lots" on Ebay (or occasionally Craigslist) which tend to also be good deals but that's all a crapshoot - items can be in worse condition than described, or in one "100 Jazz CD's" lot case, a couple Miles Davis Cd's on top with about 85 copies of Kenny G's Miracles: The Holiday Albums underneath. With digital at least you get exactly what you wanted.

Don't forget to download them, and import them into iTunes and upload them to Google Drive/Play/Cloud/Music/Whateveritscalledthisweek.

Sparrow is $4.99 for a bit, if anyone on OS X is looking for an email client (arguably better than Mail.app for Gmail, etc.).

[grawk]

what makes it arguably better?

[blessingx]

Notifications/retrieval timing (instant), starring, labels and possibly deletion handling (at least if using Gmail). I think because it started as a Gmail frontend most of its defaults (and there aren't many setting adjustments) were created with that service in mind. Reportedly works well with other IMAPs too, but all my accounts are there.

Let us know how the iPhone app works out. With Apple defaults pretty locked down (thus all email links) I didn't know if any non-Apple mail would work there.

Not sure if this is a "deal" but don't see these for sale often

Koss ESP-950

[Tari]

The ESP950's were available on Amazon recently for $550-600 new for a while, but they seemed to have jumped back up very recently. At the current new price it's an OK price used if it's in the condition he claims it is.

[grawk]

The great thing about esp950s tho is it doesn't matter what condition they're in. At least I've always had great luck exchanging them with Koss.

Same here.

Interesting. The limited lifetime warranty specifically excludes anyone who is not the initial user from the warranty, but I guess in practice they don't care.

[grawk]

if they did care, there'd be exactly 0 chance I'd buy a pair used, since they flake out pretty regularly.

[spritzer]

Yeah, ineffective dustcovers and the cable entry is too cramped leading to arcing issues. Still I want to buy one and tinker with the amp a bit...
