    recording samples

    Audio Recorder for Music and MP3 | Replay Music Works for me, just about every time. You can also use open source Audacity, although the procedure would be more involved.

    What is best media player for what I want to do ?

    Using JRMC version 21. Has a very good touch interface on my SP3, as well as as a useful 10 foot display mode for the Visio M65 in the front room, and has one of the best databases for adding audio and video. Been using since version 8, and well worth the price of admission. Upgrades can...

    When do you use SP3 in tablet mode?

    Not traveling currently, so using in tablet mode, for Spotify mainly using external speakers. So much so, that I finally sprung for the Dock.

    4K not working on Samsung U28D590D

    Geez, I gotta ask: what the heck are u guys doing with a 4K 28"monitor with the Sp3? It ain't gaming is it? How are u getting decent frame rates with any of the 4K capable games out there? On board graphics just don't and won't give you decent ( say...20fps or better, which is still subpar)...
