  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio
  2. In case of music sold at budget price on CD and with a high number of short tracks, the iTunes pricing structure produces this effect. But it's an exception.
  3. I have that 1964 concert, I downloaded it some years ago. The movie file was probably made from a VHS tape. I will check it.
  4. It could be the same recording. I haven't found an english tracklist, but both CDs have 9 tracks and the lenght of the tracknames in japanese (whose characters only display as cubes in my browser) on the japanese CD are similar to the english tracklist of the US CD. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7425467 http://www.7andy.jp/cd/detail?accd=R0264872 1. Rocker 2. Autumn In New York 3. Godchild 4. Lady Is a Tramp, The 5. It's Only a Paper Moon 6. My Shining Hour 7. All Across the City 8. While We're Young 9. Last Night When We Were Young 1. ロッカー 2. オータム・イン・ニューヨーク 3. ゴッドチャイルド 4. レディ・イズ・ア・トランプ 5. イッツ・オンリー・ア・ペイパー・ムーン 6. マイ・シャイニング・アワー 7. オール・アクロス・ザ・シティ 8. ホワイル・ウィ・アー・ヤング 9. ラスト・ナイト・ホエン・ウィ・ワー・ヤング
  5. In "invisible" mode, the user is indeed shown as being offline.
  6. Was it Leonard King (the drummer announced for the concert in Zurich)? http://www.leonardkingdrums.com http://www.aiartists.com/jcarter/performances.htm
  7. The new reissue has bonus tracks http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...=lk_organissimo
  8. Is your turntable grounded? There should be a single thin wire from the turntable which is meant to be connected to the ground connector of the amp.
  9. Last friday, I ordered the Jansons/EMI box set for only 10 Euro on amazon.de, an obvious pricing error (it's 40 Euro now) http://www.amazon.de/Sinfonien-1-15-Mariss.../dp/B000G6BJS0/ Another interesting complete symphony set is the Kondrashin Melodiya set from the 60's/70's, recently reissued http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000IONEZG/
  10. Thanks Luca, I hadn't heard of that label before http://www.kindofbluerecords.com
  11. I bet you skipped Ayler
  12. Here's a bit longer account of that incident: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/18/sports/o...s/18landis.html
  13. I frequently use my MP3 player with earbuds at work (1-2 hours per day). My boss doesn't mind, and I only occasionally receive visits from customers in my office. Of course it's not so loud to cover the phone ring, or a knock at the door. That way I can listen to everything without disturbing anyone. I have no illusions about somebody at my office hearing my music and liking it.
  14. Except in Woody Allen movies from the past 15 years I live in an appartment as well, with a large living room and good acoustic isolation, but when I listen to classical orchestral music, I prefer headphones, to avoid having to turn down the volume on climaxes.
  15. The remastered french 2 DVD reissue is great. One of my favourite movies. http://www.amazon.fr/Playtime-Édition-DVD-.../dp/B000BKJ794/
  16. Yes, it's that one http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:45083 http://www.criteriondvd.com/item_info.php?item_id=290
  17. I'm no expert on this, but there seems to be a system of financial compensations between countries, called "terminal dues" http://www.upu.int/faq/en/upu_activities/w...ts_settled.html http://www.upu.int/terminal_dues/en/index.shtml
  18. Nescafé GOLD Dessert Refined aroma instant coffee prepared with water from the Esch/Sauer lake in Luxembourg, heated in a Philips Cucina kettle Since I redid my kitchen with gold water pipes and rewired the boiler with a shielded mains cable, the coffee tastes much better! Next, I'll try an external regulated power supply.
  19. I use Winamp Lite and Foobar 2000. I mainly listen to lossless FLAC files. I use Winamp to preview files (it loads faster), and Foobar to listen to complete albums. Foobar is extremely powerful, with many useful functions and optional extensions. I particularly like the ASIO support (higher quality driver) and the possibility to re-tag files (or the CUE-file in case of a CD image) using FreeDB. Don't be fooled by "uncool" looks. It's a no-frills non-commercial software, supported by many connoisseurs. http://www.foobar2000.org For videos I use VLC and Media Player Classic, which in terms of usability and flexibility are miles ahead of the big commercial products (Windows Media Player, Realplayer, Quicktime) http://www.videolan.org http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm Foobar 2000 for audio and VLC or MPC for video are the favourite media players in the "geek community", so there is lots of information available on how to use and customize them.
  20. I don't think it's a good idea to dig up old sales threads to discuss the music.
  21. Already the layout of the website and the lack of technical info make this look fishy. Distributing high quality TV signals via internet connection needs certain technical requirements, it can't be done just by installing a software and connecting to a website. As far as the legality goes, if this service would indeed transmit TV signals, the provider would need the authorisation of the TV stations. But the software only seems to provide links to existing web streams.
  22. That sounds like the swedish pronounciation.
  23. In fact most of the Sony Classical SACDs released so far consist of vintage recordings, but there haven't been new SACD reissues for years. Some titles available on single layer SACDs (most of which are now OOP) have been reissued on DSD-mastered CDs. http://www.sa-cd.net/titles/0/1/date/5/1 I agree that the Living Stereo SACDs are excellent. I have most of them. http://www.sa-cd.net/titles/0/296/date/100/1
  24. I voted no, because I think that if a seperate sub-forum was created, it should be for all non-jazz styles.
  25. If you take into account the western european votes only (first column in the table in the middle of the page), the top rankings would have been almost the same: http://www.bildblog.de/2258/warum-mag-uns-eigentlich-keiner
