    PCSPECIALIST For anyone who enjoys a bit of Loungeroom / Big Band

    My favorite trance DJ's, Above & Beyond, are a trio. 2 of them met in university and the third joined later who ended up being the "business brains". They are all classically trained musicians, and when they write a trance track, they always flesh it out initially on guitars and piano etc to...

    Hi all I'm just jumping ahead a while to when I upgrade my PC. I want to export / migrate my existing Plex database to the new Windows installation. I've looked over the practicalities and it looks relatively straightforward, but just wondered if anyone has done this in the past and had any...
