Because I'd never really used such pads before, it didn't bother me too much. But Kong is coming... So when I saw these two threads on the Propellerhead User Forum, I knew I had to give this a try. This video is a nice guide on how to take the MPK49 apart and get access to the rubber pads.

Some things to remember while taking apart your precious MIDI controller: use a manual screwdriver rather than a motorised one as in the video - take note of how much torque is required to unscrew those twenty rear-plate screws, and when you put back together again, do not tighten them up any more than that.

Just like film posters, album covers deck up a song or the album it belongs to. Album cover art also fancies up the visual interface of our digital music players. Tools such as MP3Tag (recommended as one of the better ones in the free download category) ping online databases like Amazon, Discogs, or freedb to gather all the metadata for a music file.
