Tom, coming from the cheap and non-audiophile end of things, I use these: [link] and like them a lot.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I have a pair of Altec Lansing headphones that I bought at the Apple Store and I don't like them at all. But they were the only pair under $100.

Techno hivemind question. If I have a DVD of a concert, is there any way I can download/extract the audio so I can load it as an iTunes playlist?

Mac or PC?

You want either Handbrake [link] or MPEG Streamclip [link]
Both of them have iPod settings for export.

Any rec or preference?

For the sort of things I normally do, MPEG Streamclip is more useful, but Handbrake is probably the more user-friendly of the two.
[eta they're free, so there's no harm in downloading both!]

Okey doke. I'll most likely go for user-friendly first.

Barb,
there may be a step you need to do BEFORE Handbrake, etc. If the DVD is protected, you'll have to rip the DVD first. Then Handbrake can do its thing.
I don't have recommendations for DVD ripping software for Macs.
