  2. Just donated $50.
  3. Huh. Thought I saw it on UMG's website, but I don't see it now. Thanks. I wasn't aware of it. Although my suggestion would stretch for more years and encompass other labels.
  4. Now that Universal owns/controls Blue Note, Fantasy and Impulse, Mosaic could release: The Complete Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Wayne Shorter It would comprise: Africaine The Big Beat Like Someone I Love A Night In Tunisia Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World vols. 1 & 2 Pisces Roots And Herbs The Witch Doctor The Freedom Rider Jazz Messengers (Impulse) Three Blind Mice vols. 1 & 2 Mosaic Buhaina's Delight Caravan Ugetsu Free For All Kyoto Indestructible Hmmm, that would be a huge box. Studio Sessions only would comprise 15 albums - still huge, but possibly 10 CDs.
  5. Mike LeDonne. Primarily a pianist, he's made at least two great dates on organ: Also, don't forget the track on Blue Note's "The Lost Sessions": Ike Quebec's "Blues On Trial" with Gene Harris of The 3 Sounds on organ.
  6. Have you tried using a powered USB hub? I do exactly this scenario (Mac, external CD drive connected to powered hub, rip CDs through iTunes/Music to external HD) and it works fine. FYI, I use this hub: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGQWL2/
  7. Looks like I'll be getting this today.
  8. I migrated to SSDs when I found EHDs failing sooner than before. I had a 4 TB Western Digital EHD fail in less than a year. Sure there's a warranty, but that's not the point: I buy hardware to be dependable. As someone wrote in an Amazon comment, EHDs are mechanical devices and will fail - the question simply is when. So far, I've had no problem with SSDs. Of course, I have a regular backup schedule. Because an SSD is essentially just a chip, there can be innovative ways of using them. For example, I've been intrigued by this, currently $299.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sonnet-Echo-20-Thunderbolt-SuperDock/dp/B0C9VTDXY6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QR1G3ZHRPB3N&keywords=Sonnet+Echo+20+Thunderbolt+4+SuperDock&qid=1702395646&s=electronics&sprefix=sonnet+echo+20+thunderbolt+4+superdock%2Celectronics%2C106&sr=1-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d It's an enclosure for an internal SSD card (card not included) built into a multi-purpose dock; primarily intended for laptop users. I don't own it.
  9. Reinhard Goebel Complete Archiv box, disc 7.
  10. Before you judge your My Book defective, try reformatting it and starting over (copying from your backup). I have no use for the software they load on the EHDs, and perhaps that's the source of the problem. One problem I've found with playing music from iPhones (as opposed to iPods) is if you're in the middle of a long track and stop listening, the iPhone won't remember where you left off on the track, and will start again at the track's beginning when you resume listening.
  11. Kurt Masur - The Complete Warner Classics Edition, disc 23.
  12. The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 33.
  13. Same with me. On my iMac desktop, through iTunes/Music I access my 4 TB SSD (2.4 TB currently used), which is automatically backed-up nightly to a second 4 TB SSD. I can listen to the music through my iMac, or send it to my stereo using AirPlay.
  14. You might want to look into an SSD instead of a spinning platter read by an arm (EHD). An SSD has no mechanical components that can break (or fall asleep). For years, a 4 TB SSD was prohibitively expensive, but they're currently far more reasonably priced (indeed, that's the reason EHD prices have fallen further). A Crucial X8 4TB Portable SSD is now available on Amazon for $199.99.
  15. UPS now says delivery will be on Thursday, December 14.
  16. I received my "shipping notice" on December 4, but the order still hasn't left the "Label Created" stage.
  17. Reinhard Goebel Complete Archiv box, disc 6.
  18. I finally got a shipping notice from Mosaic. But according to UPS, it's just at the "label created" stage.
  19. Where's your music source? (CD, phono, etc.)
  20. Kurt Masur - The Complete Warner Classics Edition, disc 22.
  21. The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 32. Also includes Eileen Joyce, Grzegorz Fitelberg: London Philharmonic Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 2 In G Major, Op. 44.
  22. Is #3 Walt Dickerson?
