They are thin, very thin the new Samsung LCD TV with LED backlighting.
Mount your TV on the wall as it was a painting. The new LED TV offers total experience, great design, a good media experience, and while it is energy efficient. TV can also connect to the Internet. Wireless, if desired.
With its new product category LED TV Samsung challenger idea what a flat TV is. LCD TVs using LED backlighting is both thinner and the representation of black is greatly improved.
Anyone who has followed the development of Samsung Crystal TV design, will feel at home with this TV. The TV’s glossy black frame becomes completely transparent at the edges. Another novelty is that the TV’s foot is also completely transparent, giving a feeling that TV almost float above the surface.
The new flat-screen category complements the previously launched LCD and plasma TVs. In April 2009, Samsung launched two new series within LED TV: 6-Series and 7 Series. In June another 8-series came. The new LED TV was on the market in sizes from 32 “to 55″.
All Samsung TV models support MPEG-4 format.
Samsung strives for a good media experience based on the vision of that content must be available when and where consumers want it. The new LED TV launched by medi@2.0 as a media solution that makes content from multiple sources easily accessible. It is for example via a wireless network set up with Samsung’s wireless USB adapter, but sold separately. (other USD wireless adapters can also be used, but it requires some engineering skills to get them to work)
The Medi@2.0 means
Internet @ TV. Direct access to Internet content on TV through updateable widgets and Samsung’s collaboration with Yahoo. View and search on YouTube for example, directly from the TV.
Wireless DLNA. Access to pictures, music and HD movies on your computer or mobile from the TV remote.
USB switch with support for movies. Enjoy music, movies or photos directly from your music player, video camera and / or camera directly connected to the TV’s USB port.
Contains media library. Opportunity to experience the existing content on the TV, which also can be updated via a Samsung server.
Energy Friendly
Samsung LCD TV has previously been certified with EU Ecolabel flower, and that includes the new LED TV. LED TV consumes up to 40 percent less energy compared to an LCD TV with traditional backlight technology. In other words: A 55 “LED TV uses as little energy as a 32-inch LCD TV. LED TV is also manufactured without mercury.

Most audio software these days offer either built-in or plug-in functionality that will attempt to level the volume of your MP3 files so that you aren’t turning the volume up to hear soft songs, then getting blasted by louder ones. So why is it that even after turning that option on, you sometimes notice a significant volume difference between some songs? What’s worse is when you’re listening to songs from the same album, and the volumes jump around abnormally after applying volume normalization.
The problem is that the vast majority of audio player programs use peak amplitude analysis to determine how “loud” a song is and normalize based on that, rather than doing a more comprehensive analysis of the frequencies that impact how loud the music actually sounds. But even those that do a more comprehensive analysis fail to consider songs within the context of the album they belong to.
Luckily, there’s a great little utility called MP3 Gain that does lossless volume analysis and adjustment based on David Robinson’s Replay Gain algorithm, as well as allowing for the volume of entire albums to be processed. Radio analysis and gain adjustment will adjust all songs to the same maximum decibel level. Album mode analyzes all of the songs in an album, essentially considering them to be one entire song, then adjusts them all to a maximum decibel level, but maintains their relative volume.

This article describes howto actually get the music free from the bad and harmful Microsoft DRM mechanism.
However there is still no DRM-freeing mechanisms available for Mac and Linux users ;( Please leave a comment if you know some way around.
