Is is worth its price to buy a mp4 player rather than an mp3?

Answers — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 23:31:42 +0000

I bought a mp3 no-brand shuttle. Had it for 3 years and suddenly it just stop playing and plus lost all of my music. I used it for ‘power walking’. Now, I really need the exercise an I am in need of a new player, I like the idea of the video and music opportunity, but is it really better just because it is newer! And the price is almost the same for both! The article on the differences in the players, didn’t help, I am not a computer expert, just use it because it’s a must for everything, now and the apps. and the educational value, is good too. Now please, what is the real difference, would you settle for a MP3 and not the MP4?

How can I remove albums from my iPhone 4S?

Answers — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:52:40 +0000

I’ve successfully removed all the unwanted albums on my iPhone 4S that my PC put on there. However, there is still one called ‘photo stream’ which I would like to remove. They were taken with my phone, but I don’t require them anymore.

I tried moving them to camera roll and deleting that way, but it doesn’t work. There is no delete button in the photo stream album. Anyone know how?

What’s the best distro for learning Linux on an older Windows XP computer?

Answers — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:39:25 +0000

I am a skilled at using Windows operating systems but I have never had a chance to play around or learn anything about Linux. My family has an old Desktop computer that has been running XP service pack 3 that they have finally quit using. It is a very basic system they bought in the early 2000. They are allowing me to play around on it before we get rid of it. I would like suggestions on a distro that would allow to get my feet wet without immediately jumping in over my head and be able to run on an older computer. Any other suggestions that could help during this learning experience would be greatly appreciated.
