Was it? I thought Riverside didn't use RVG for their recordings. Guy That was my thought too. But Lon is right. I just checked the CD.

When you connect it to any Windows 2000/XP PC, the drive should automatically be added as DVD/CD reader that you can see as an additional drive in Windows Explorer (unless the Windows account has limited user rights), without having to install a driver or software. When you install the CD/DVD writing software, it will be recognized as a burner.

So far the Concord RVGs were limited to sessions Rudy Van Gelder has recorded (i.e. on Prestige), but most of these are on Riverside.

It should not be a problem, but try the rear connection anyway. It will eliminate a possible source of error (front connector not supporting USB 2.0)

No, if your mainboard supports USB 2.0 it should work.

Wikipedia had to lock it's article on Kazakhstan, because of vandalism by Borat fans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstan http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,300...3550524,00.html

What about the green Volkwagen Beetle that shows up multiple times during the chase? http://www.rjsmith.com/bullitt-locations.html

A friend lent me the DVD of the movie. I must have watched the chase scene 10 times, but haven't managed to go through the whole movie. I always had to skip back to that incredible scene ...

I´ve read elsewhere that Caiman has almost nothing in stock, so it's pointless to order stuff that is OOP.

My first thought was that Putin was demonstrating his might over Europe (like he does with Georgia), but so far he only controls the european natural gas supply ...

According to Spiegel Online, the origin for the european-wide power outage may have been in Papenburg, Germany, where a high voltage electricity line crossing a channel had been shut down to allow the new cruise ship Norvegian Pearl to exit the Papenburg docks safely. http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,446546,00.html http://www.cruise-ship-report.com/News/101806.htm

No problem here in Luxembourg, although all the neighbour countries were regionally affected by the outage. Damn privatization. Despite all the promises about better service and prices through competition, prices go up and reliability goes down. Sharon Beder - Thieves in the Night

Funny, but it can't be real.

Err, I just checked the link and saw it's an external burner. Does your PC have a USB 2.0 connection? This was not standard in 2000. It will not work with USB 1.1, which is much too slow for burning DVD-Rs. You would have to get an USB 2.0 PCI card or use an internal IDE burner.

That is actually not the hardware requirement for the burner but for the software that comes with it. I don't think you'll have a problem with it, but with such an old computer, which has not only a slower CPU but also a slow hard drive, you will probably not be able to burn DVD-Rs at the highest possible speeds (8-16x). Not a big deal really, it just takes more time to burn the disc. A year ago, I still had an Athlon 1000 with 384MB of RAM and was able to burn DVDs at 4x speed, using Nero 6 (which is better than the overloaded Nero 7 in my view). With 8x speed, there were occasional problems, so I preferred the slower and safer speed.

Isn't that obvious? You can't steal CDs in online stores ...

In Europe (and apparently in California), there is already such a thing for art sales, it's called droit de suite (artists' resale rights). It allows artists to claim royalties if their works are being resold for substantially higher prices than they sold it for. But it order to keep it managable, it only applies to resale prices above a certain value. http://www.caslon.com.au/droitprofile.htm

What about the ethics of listening to radio for free and not buying all the songs that were played? The radio stations only pay a ridiculous amount to the rightholders. Think about the money the artists would make if every music that is being heard had to be paid at the price of a new CD. They would all be rich and we would have to stuff our ears if we wanted to have money left to eat. Seriously, with iTunes and other purchased music downloads there is no more used marked. You can spend thousands of $$$ on downloads (which cost almost as much as CDs) but you don't have the right to sell them if you don't want them anymore. Is that fair? It's as if you had only rented the music, but at the cost of a purchase.

I'm sure they can be improved, as DCC, XRCD or K2 remasters of other Contemporary sessions have shown. But the important thing is that the cheap and (still) easily available original CDs sound almost perfect already as they are. Here are some lesser known late 50's stereo recordings that sound amazing on mid price CD - demonstration quality stuff: - Stan Kenton - At the Las Vegas Tropicana (Blue Note) - Red Norvo - Music to listen to Red Norvo by - Terry Gibbs - Dream Band (Vol.1) - Benny Carter - Swingin' in the 20's - Curtis Counce - Landslide - Shelly Manne: Checkmate AND The gambit - Curtis Fuller - Blues-ette (but not the 2003 US remaster, which is horribly maximised)

As far as the sound goes, these are probably 16bit digital recordings, so I don't think important remastering improvements are possible. Has anyone compared the Don Pullen Mosaic Select to the original Blue Note CDs? Same situation (digital recordings), also mastered by Kurt Lundvall. BTW, the Dexter Gordon Select says "Sound restoration and transfer: Malcolm Addey, Mastering by Kurt Lundvall" so Lundvall might just be responsible for transferring the digital masters directly to the CD master, without tweaking the sound. It may not mean anything, but the credits of the Pullen and Tony Williams Selects avoid the term "remastering"

Have several Miles 1956 albums been RVG'd so far? Or are you speaking of the series in general? Some RVGs (Lateef) are too maximised in my view, the bass sounds almost distorted. The Oliver Nelson sounds almost similar to the version in the Dolphy box set. So far I haven't heard a (Concord) RVG which sounds superior to previous versions.

How can someone who get's hold of the Ebay login data access the Paypal login data or use the Paypal account? Aren't these seperate?
