Any rock recommendation? Preferably w/ good drummer?
rockefeller center replied to Bol's topic in Miscellaneous Music
OK, avoid this: (not sure the guit solo is cheesy enough though) -
Goofy stuff on the web

Is this still Parkour? http://leprastuff.ru/data/img/20091121/877...a293126e5d5.gif -
Generally speaking MP3 to AAC isn't a good idea because you introduce a second lossy conversion. Re WMP: scroll down to MPEG-4: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992 I can't imagine that it would replace files in such a use case by default but do you really want to use two file formats? I don't think so. This is one of the reasons why proprietary formats like WMA suck.

DVD: Wizard Of Oz
rockefeller center replied to Soulstation1's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Acne, that's what Blu-ray is all about. Thanks for the links, Beri. -
He's using a Cowon http://www.cowonglobal.com/ I have the Cowon D2 which doesn't have much memory (16 GiB, it's a flash player) but supports the formats I'm using and has nice recording capabilities (line-in, mic and FM radio). Downside: the recorded sounds can be saved as WMA only - . WTF. Another plus: no special software is required to transfer music and other stuff to the device - a file manager or command line interface does the job but that doesn't mean you can't also use music software to fill/sync the player. This is not meant as a recommendation; I just think it's sometimes worth it to take a look at non Apple audio players.

Not sure if this is a good example to praise Blu-ray: -
Listening to Digital Media Vs. LPs
rockefeller center replied to Teasing the Korean's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Sure, why not. A file is a file is a file. Sure, but I get confused with all that digital conversion. An LP rip at 24/96 can't be burned to CD (Redbook standard) but has to be burned to DVD (and played via hardware that can read that). So, I never know what is actually output from, say, the netbook (via any "out") and what the V-Dac then does with it. I guess I have to read more. Well, yes, take a look at the V-DAC specs and find out if you have to deal with downconversion/downsampling when playing 24/96 files. Shouldn't be too confusing, I guess. -

Flurin, I've been in the same boat for quite a while but I've got a link here that might interest you (German, longer read ... take your time). Until I read that, I was quite sure that it would take tons of money to do what I want to do (especially, to be independent of streaming etc. ... no time to explain right now why). In short: This guy bought himself a cheapo Netbook (one whose fan could be shut down 99% of the time without ruining anything), hooked it up to a (realtively) cheap but excellent (!) DAC (Digital Audio Converter) and then hooked his external drive(s) into the Netbook (which runs foobar). Bingo! Done. Uhm, yeah, but that's old news, isn't it? I still prefer the Ampache way (mentioned that one earlier this year here) because, IMO, it's a waste to use a netbook that runs a file or web server and use it stationary. I'd rather use the netbook as portable frontend. -
Listening to Digital Media Vs. LPs
rockefeller center replied to Teasing the Korean's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Sorry, OT (again) Sure, it can be. But in case with Rockbox on a hard disk music player I don't think it's really dangerous: But, like always, it's good to know what you're doing (i.e. RTFM) before updating. Personally, if I had an iPod I'd be curious to try out Rockbox. -

Hey, I don't watch rugby. Musically, the edits don't hurt that much (yeah, I know, it hurts the music historians). If you're a JP nut Twins I+II is worth looking for. If not, the item is, IMO, way overpriced. I don't know which one is "better" but the Mr. Pip's show is much looser and doesn't sound as bombastic as Twins/Invitation. From the officially available WOM stuff I'd recommend the '82 Montreal Jazz Fest DVD (you get the WOM Sextet here).

Maybe you should edit your post because I've finished writing my response before I read your "ah well ok... found this". Don't you ever waste my time again!
