Man with the Golden Arm

can you still make a regular audio CDr burn using these DRM encrypted AAC files? well, yes, of course ... i should not be worried then. i guess Claude's point of sound loss had me thinking that the "file" itself was the grail and not the duped copy on the CDr.

but if you've gone to Verve or iTunes and paid a ten spot for an album - without the distribution costs of old, liner notes, artwerk, jewel cases etc - aren't you at least deemed to own the music now rather than leasing it?

Claude, I have burned more than a few items now from iTunes - happy with the sound - but last nite I put some of the files onto my other machine and had to go into the store to allow my other computer to play them. Uneducated guess here but putting the tracks over onto CD and THEN burning to the other machine is the way to go? Are they still encoded and protected then and how does that affexct the loss in quality? ... is it from simply bring an AAC lossless file into the AIFF mode?? would simply changing the name of the file fool the CP, I imagine it is imbedded there forever. (I'm sure there is some other talk about this here on the board and I could spend hours exploring the Apple discussions groups but that place is over my head.) Simple question: what is the best "recipe" for making a downloaded tune from iTunes yours and not a rental. Thanks!

I've about a dozen Telarc late seventies pressings of the standard fare of what they first got into the business about. Nearly all are stil sealed in the bags, not shrink wrap. Heavy duty stuff that was all the rage I think before the dawn of the CD. Are classical vinyl philes even around these days? Wondering if you vinyl nuts know if there is a market for these?

Providence! Used to live there when it was not so nice as it is now, same w/ Cleveland (I leave - it goes all great and stuff). 3 hours max from NYC, easy winters, beachy summers, springtime with college kids, country right to the left, Federal Hill with all the stinky cheese you can eat and the legend of Buddy Cianci!!!

Rooster pointed me here, after having done a search going back only a few months and posting a new topic on him - since deleted to keep all happy. I had no idea of who he even was but saw this cover and clicked.... holy moley that kid can play. eldar's website

pic is not mine ... no carded toys in my stash. always ripped them open on the way home. now if i'd only been smart and bought up all the "pink / fuchsia" cars i'd be rich. have to look up MMM ? ... the sounds worthy! about time we open up a "toy" thread now, what with the likes of Biskup and urban vinyls and such being the craze.

Ya know I did not see this til the new subtitle. I still have all my old Tarzan Gold Keys as well as Torak Son Of Stone. Never bought the superhero types - there were no animals in them so I had to go the naturalist route. Now about the Hot Wheels. Still have my nice storage box of the old red-lines from when they first came out. I can still remember the day I bought my first: rode up to the toy store on the candy apple green schwinn w/ banana seat and laid my eyes upon a purple 'Beatnik Bandit' just like this one- B-) Found myself buying a half a dozen last week, the first in many, many years cause they are still so cool - these new Crooze line issues where the back end is stretched. And a buck each w/ tax!

not with that diet of his!

so is Randy on here? could this be Ribot's Spiritual Unity Band?

... and from the next room!

see Lebron James scored 56 today and the Cavs still lost!

I once worked right around the corner from the one of the first dealerships. The "cartoonist" we worked for had one of them stainless jobs w/ the slant blind rear window, nice!

Spring time in Paris and all things that go along with ... reason enough right there!

OK, is this another name change I missed hearing about??? (with just a dash of ) isn't this Dave's signature de ploome? has been for years, me thinks.

just to let you know that "Fly Me To The Moon" was the highlite at the studio today. The shop model builder and all around crazy gipetto guy named it in the first note and the others were animated as i had it going at full volume. they still have a time with the concept of somebody from switzerland sending discs all over the world for people to guess tunes. seems perfectly normal to me.

and since it is st. love day maybe you can get some irish to come over and tickle them.

As my mother always said : "the ship ain't sinking, just time to get down there and scrub off the barnacles".

now I'm really having a tuff time with this thread. agreed standing by is not good and that's just what dizz is telling all of us but this is getting to be like some fly fisherman convention - wade into the water and ya can't help but get stuck with a hook from somewhere. my mission statement, not that it would mean anything to anybody here, is just to go about and be decent. if someone pisses on ya, let it be known and move on. i guess not standing behind others one respects/admires puts just as much oweness on the ignorer. dizzyspells is really upset about all of this, not that i know what it all is, but i'll now give him the due respect for that. now i imagine ubu on the other hand can be a bully when people spend more time discussing things here than listening to those two fine discs he painstakingly put together. what a great break it would be to have some more input on those threads. and dizzy can eat, drink AND be "merry" (just have to type the answers with the other hand.) while doing that.

really! so who got smeared... ARIC? ... don't think so! Hans left and all know why except for many. Brownie decided to call it and he should not have. Both great folks who have my utmost respect for more than the 1s and 0s on this board. Lessee who else ...

Well, if you don't know what's been going down here, why do you even participate in this thread? Spend some time here and read around. Not difficult ... you can do that while I take a break. B-) yeah fer chrissakes JimR... you know you usually just come in with all the spirit of positivity and such ... turn folks on to and wax so eloquently about this great music and it's musicians. play hard it seems and always are there to put a good word in edgewise. you take a little hiatus come back and ask a simple question and ya get flounced for it from some "newbie" B-) . serves ya right. so go on and spend some time, ferget the laundry and them dirty dishes. just start perusing the shitty threads for all the crap, easy, takes no time at all. oh, maybe you don't go for that. well maybe you can get a bottle of this and join the fun. i personally hate these smiley things but... So, you also agree that one should stand on the sidelines and watch long standing members of this board get smeared? yeah uh huh that's exactly what i said. it's all about the tone. maybe it's time for a coming out party!

Saw Mike's posts. I was gonna say Mangelsdorf, honest, but as my only exposure came via BFT couw, thought his tone was more of the straight up variety. You guys are good, how'd he pick Elvin on that? And I need to listen to "Whisper Not" more. Whenever I hear it I think it's the love theme from Les Liaisons Dangereuses or something. Too many tunes in the head. Seeing a mighty long Ellingtonish string holding this all together.
