Controversial opinions on metal

[rms]

They decreased the wait time BUT it takes 20 minutes to download an album now. It USED to be 4 minutes. Has anyone else noticed this?

ya its down from a download speed of like 130-150 to 60-70 to me.

Those fuckers! They must be reducing download speeds in order to get people to subscribe. If only megaupload had as much available as RS.

Seriously, those letter images with dogs and cats were absolutely dreadful. I often spent a lot of time figuring out where the cat was.

The ones after that were even worse. Fucknig grayscale dots at a like retarded angle I had to bend my head in every direction for it.

RIAA is tracking it probably LOL

The RIAA is ghey.

Just got SoulSeek to work, someone name some really really obscure bands so I can test it's capabilities.

i usually just rip videos off youtube into mp3s

 

[Lord Kur]

youtube's sound is awful

 

[rms]

OH NO 20 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD AN ALBUM HOW WILL WE LIVE

 

[Belligerent]

Still mad

 

[CF87]

youtube's sound is awful

I've always wondered why. I have never came across anything that even sounds remotetly decent.

Because the compression they use to fit things on their shitty ass server is literally ridiculous.

Shitty ass server?

Fuck you got no idea buddy

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Of course it's huge, but it must be at least relatively shitty if they can't bother to encode things so they don't sound and often look like shit. It does depend on the source imagery/sound of course also, but Myspace does the same thing. Lame imo.

 

[Zephyrus]

You realize they do it so that a larger number of people can conveniently access it. Not enough people have super-high-speed internet to warrant an upgrade to something that a large percentage of internet users cannot access without waiting 10 minutes for half the thing to buffer.

 

[cookiecutter]

Considering the gargantuan amount of videos hosted on that site for no cost, I am not surprised that they compress things so much.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

A lot of the times Youtube vids fail to load even on good computers with good processors and good connections. It's a lame site with a few things worth keeping it for imo.

 

[cookiecutter]

I listen to all the music I like but am embarrassed about on youtube.

lol, i remember that. it's great being a member, all you have to do is click the link and it automatically starts downloading, you don't even have to load up a rapidshare page or anything. it's also really cheap for that matter, some of you might want to consider getting an account
