The iPod problem would not exist if the player allowed for gapless playback, i.e. two subsequent tracks are played without interuption, like on a regular CD player. Then you won't notice the badly placed track markers. People have been requesting gapless playback on the iPod for some time already (I don't know the current status of this) http://www.petitiononline.com/13421509/petition.html Advanced users can also burn a CD-R from the disc, with corrected track markers.

By coincidence, I ordered the "On the Corner" SACD from Hiroshi Tanno today. This new japanese reissue series is nothing special, since the Miles CBS albums have been reissued in Japan multiple times already. That's how their CD market works. It's not an event as the reissue of a Miles album in the US, with bonus tracks, new liner notes, new remastering, etc. A more notable reissue would be to release "Jack Johnson" on a multichannel SACD, since it has been remixed for multichannel when the Jack Johnson box was prepared, but the remix remains unreleased so far.

A late thanks for your reply, Kyo. Very interesting prices indeed.

That's the censored version made for public TV. Here is the original NASA tape: http://www.blogjam.com/neil_armstrong/

I don't think so. Most K2's are backordered on CD Universe. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...59439&BAB=E

No, because I have found the IMHO definitive digital version of this album, the DCC CD from 1995. It also sounds better than the Analogue Productions SACD. It's expensive ($30-50 on Ebay), but worth it.

Just ordered those four from a German store that's selling them for €6.29 each. Which store is that, please? Are the european RVGs now uncopyprotected (like the latest Connoisseur batch)?

The german store JPC has the two original Blue Note Cover books for 7.99 Euro each: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/books/detail/-/hnu...oks/rsk/hitlist http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/books/detail/-/hnu...oks/rsk/hitlist It's newly found old stock, so order them quickly. The books are long OOP.

In my limited experience (I've heard 7 or 8 discs), the 1500 Yen CDs are as unpredictable as the JRVGs.

The first Miles album I heard was "Live at the Plugged Nickel", a japanese import CD I borrowed at a library in the late 80's, and I found it terrible because I wasn't prepared for such free playing. Later I bought the "Columbia Years 1955-85" 4CD set. I now own most of Miles' official recordings.

A review for a price: Fanfare magazine crosses ethical line TIM MANGAN The Orange County Register http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/enter...cle_1234143.php The whole thing began with e-mail from an old college roommate. He had recently recorded his first CD for a small record label, he told me, and was sending out review copies to various publications. There had been a few reviews, but he wanted and needed more. But in response to sending his CD to Fanfare magazine, a bimonthly that reviews hundreds of recordings in each issue, he had received a curious reply. He wanted my advice on how to proceed. The editor of Fanfare, Joel Flegler, had sent him a letter quoting ad rates. If my roommate bought an ad, it said, his recording would be reviewed. If he bought a bigger ad or placed ads in consecutive issues, the editor would arrange for my roommate to be interviewed. The ad rates ranged from $706-$1,853. If he didn't buy an ad, a review might be forthcoming but there was no guarantee, and his CD would not "be given top priority." My roommate asked me if he should consider the deal. The Fanfare editor's letter was so unethical that I hardly need to comment on it here. It broke every rule of good journalism by removing the wall that is supposed to separate editorial content (and decisions) from advertising. I asked for and received permission from my friend to publish the editor's letter on my blog (changing my friend's name), then sat back to see what would happen next. What happened was that the blog (and my e-mail inbox) lit up with comments. Blogger A.C. Douglas weighed in first, questioning the authenticity of Flegler's letter, saying that no magazine editor would write such a thing unless he had a "death wish." Composer/performer Mary Jane Leach quickly countered by confirming that when she ran her own record label, Flegler offered a similar deal to her. American tenor Stephen Gould, currently singing Siegfried at Bayreuth, offered an anecdote suggesting that the same editorial policy held at another magazine. A Fanfare subscriber wrote that if Flegler's letter proved authentic, he'd cancel his subscription. The posting had gone global. Flegler himself then proceeded to authenticate his letter to my friend. In a ridiculous missive, he defended his editorial policy unapologetically. Claiming that most record magazines did the same, Flegler posed the question: "Would it be more ethical to take someone's (ad) money and leave them wondering if they're going to see any coverage? I think not. Is it unethical to tell them that if they don't advertise they may still be reviewed, but their CD won't be given top priority?" Flegler went on to attack those labels and distributors that release recordings and don't support Fanfare by advertising. "To me, that's unconscionable!" he wrote. A couple of current and former Fanfare reviewers (including Alex Ross of The New Yorker) defended Flegler, saying he never interfered with what they wrote, whether or not the CD in question had been advertised. But so what? An editorial decision had already been made, before the review. If Fanfare came with a warning label that informed readers of its editorial policy, that would be one thing. But for now, the magazine is worthless. The appearance of impropriety is as good as the real thing here. As composer Tom Myron summed up pithily: "OK, fine. How much for the cover?"

It's a repertory of Bittorrent files, a sort of Google of filesharing. The site doesn't host any files. A similar website hosted in Sweden - Pirate Bay - was recently taken down by authorities, but is now back online after it was established they don't violate copyright laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirate_Bay

Given that after every stage, the winner of the stage, the yellow jersey and two randomnly selected riders are tested, Pereiro must have been tested at least 4 times during the last days of the Tour. I'm convinced that most riders are doped, but that it is so perfectly organized that it is not being detected. Something must have gone terribly wrong in Landis' treatment the evening before he made his spectacular comeback. BTW, both him and Pereiro were tested that day. http://www.letour.fr/2006/TDF/LIVE/us/1700/index.html

The guy who put up the auction linked images from a site whose webmaster wasn't pleased about that and took revenge. This explains the naked picture and the rather monotonous sounding mp3 files.
