Rharv, I’m not sure you understand the need as explained at the top. The ZD3 does not store and play audio files. I’m looking for a media player that serves as a backup/replacement to my laptop and DAW combo. Therefore, in addition to storing and playing audio files it must have a reliable output to feed a digital interface, the ZD3 can't do this. One possible option is the Hiby R4 but much more research on my part is required to find a solution that meets the need.

I had to smile when I heard "I still think about you, most of the time", because "I still love you (most of the time)" would be a pretty cool song title. Good lyrics, good vocals. Enjoyed my listen

Hi Mario. I LOVE this groove. This is such easy listening. I'm sitting here typing and listening and really enjoying what I hear. As I've said before, there are no two ways about it, you're a very talented man. --Noel Thanx so much Noel for those very kind comments.

My 2 cents is recording in any DAW is far superior to recording in BiaB. Mario, I'm surprised at how strong a statement you've made. Do you mind sharing why you feel "recording in any DAW is far superior to recording in BiaB."? Off the top of my head: 1- hearing what you are recording - although that may have changed as i have not tried to record in BiaB for some time now 2-multiple takes 3-it best fits my workflow - trying to dive deep into BiaB has always caused me problems while the DAWs that I have used over the years (Vision-Cakewalk pro audio-Sonar-Studio One Pro-Fender Studio Pro) have not Plus I agree with everything Dan has said YMMV

On my computer, I have 25 files in the Factory_TGG folder (101.tgs, 102.tgs, 201.tgs, 202.tgs, etc.) Interesting that they are .TGS files, but the folder name is TGG.

A Spot on the Wall A quirky song about figuring things out. A spot on the wall. A relationship. A life. Took me two months to warm up to these lyrics but I like them a lot by now. The notion of running hard, but not necessarily in the right direction, is so...me. Every instrument you hear is from the 2026 RealStyle _DESCEND.STY. The pair of modern fingerstyle guitars sound great split like this. The first part of the song features the pair. The bridge features the rhythm guitar. The rest has all three guitars at the same time. Panning listed below. The 4820 guitar produced harsh artifacts that Melodyne could not isolate, so the BiaB stem took maybe 30 partial regenerations to MOSTLY clean that up. I'll send the support folks at PGMusic a report with a frozen track. Struggled with the bridge. I like it enough now, but it might have just beaten me down. So if you have thoughts on whether this works or not, I'd be interested. THANK YOU in advance for any listens and comments. R.W. Davis: lyrics Me: music, arrangement, vocals, mix, master AI: not employed Style is _DESCEND.STY (Descend Gentle Folk Rock) RealTracks in style: 5067:Bass, Acoustic, Folk16ths ev16 60 (+EQ) RealTracks in style: 4987:Guitar, 6stringBass, Fingerpicking ModernFolkSlowChorus ev16 60 (panned left) RealTracks in style: 4986:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm ModernFolkSlowGentleStrum ev16 60 (panned slightly left, reverb panned right) RealTracks in style: 4820:Guitar, Electric, Fingerpicking Slow16thsMuted ev16 065 (panned right) RealDrums in style:ShakerSlow16ths: a: Shaker b: ShakerSlow16ths (+Studio One 7 drum channel EQ & multi-band compressor) A Spot on the Wall There’s a spot on the wall It catches my eye I don’t know what it is And I don’t know why Could it be a spider? A fly from outside? A lone spot on the wall With no place to hide I’m running on my treadmill Like I’m running a big race I could be running to you in Dallas But I just keep running in place And the walls are like my skyline And the fan is like my breeze I’m struggling toward the finish line Until you come back to me There’s a spot on the wall It don’t even move Like art nouveau painting In the French Louvre Like a black hole in space A hole in the wall Maybe an eye floater Too big or too small I’m running on my treadmill Like I’m running a big race I could be running to you in Dallas But I just keep running in place And the walls are like my skyline And the fan is like my breeze I’m struggling toward the finish line Until you come back to me I think I’m getting shin splints With all the suspense My environment’s getting too artificial But my exercise is so beneficial With an initial case of the cramps Running under the lamps There’s a spot on the wall It catches my eye I don’t know what it is And I don’t know why I’m running on my treadmill Like I’m running a big race I could be running to you in Dallas But I just keep running in place And the walls are like my skyline And the fan is like my breeze I’m struggling toward the finish line Until you come back to me

I only use this laptop for BIAB so 1TB SSD should be enough? I have powered BOSE speakers that I feed from a mixer Tony Depends what version of BIAB. If recent Audiophile FLAC, go with 2tb. If Ultrapak - 1 tb should be fine. You want to have at least 20-30% of space left on HD. ------- Just make sure to research CPU. Your current is i7-5500. That 5500 number... It should be at least 2x higher for meaningful upgrade From my laptop experience, usually better CPU machines have newer chipsets as well.

Janice has long loved this song and you made a warm and wonderful version. She said she could picture Fred Astaire dancing with Ginger. It sounds like it could've been in one of their movies. Your harp, as always, is a gem. You and the BiaB guys made for a fine band and the mix well supports it all. Enjoyed it, J&B

Hi Janice and Bud and Peter, Finally, I got to listen to your song! And what have I missed in the meantime? This beautiful song, a wonderful voice, and a beautiful/unique solo. First, the singing, although always beautiful, is perhaps even more beautiful now! Take that line: "A barn bell could be heard a mile off" and listen to how you sing it. Especially the last words; wow, beautiful craftsmanship (if you can say that)! And what Peter did with his guitar strings was pure magic. At the beginning, in between, and so on. Or maybe Bud created that magical sound with his magical mixing skills? No, seriously, I was immediately hooked the moment you started singing, Janice. And I also learned something: "They're hand-hewn beams." I didn't know what that meant, so Google told me it's something like Janice's craftsmanship, but for wood. Hans Hans, thank you for your time to listen and write such a thoughtful review. Your comments about the vocals, the guitar, the write and mix are all greatly appreciated. Oh, and we are glad google helped out with the hand hewn beams! J&B

Thanks Andrew. Specially, because you got my idea of bringing this jazzy classic from 1920s to modern time with a groove R&B backing and rock guitar solos at the end. I listened those many fabulous versions of great singers from Frank Sinatra to Adam Lambert and my favourite Diana Krall. Still I bravely sang my own with this weak voice of an old man, since AI vocals are missing the human rendition, connection to the message and feeling of the song. Thanks for understanding that as well.
