Does any one here actually listen to their music on I dunno...a Stereo!?!?


Fucking aye,

Back home I have a stereo hooked up to my computer.

yes I am. winamp on shuffle is wonderful

Shuffle is gay 99% of the time.

well the answer was in the post. Tim Owens is someone with a great technique, but no emotion.

I think Tim takes too much flack, for lacking emotion, because people can't help but compare him to Barlow. And perhaps no one, has ever sung with as much emotion as Barlow. If you don't think Tim can sing with emotion, go back and listen to the last five minutes of "High Water Mark".

I need to find a place to buy this, the new Witchcraft, new Ulver, and some other new shit all at once.

I said I was not going to do another haul until 2008.


I lied.

Q4T - "The Gettysburg Trilogy" is something almost every metal fan should at least listen to and judge it independently of anything else in the post-Barlow era.

I'm at about:

50% - PC/Boombox @ home
30% - Car
20% - Work - at low volume under less than ideal conditions - all it really does is block out the daily annoying background noise that I can't stand. (Think the "Corporate Accounts Payable Mina speaking....just a moment." girl from Office Space.)

I listen to 100% of my music on a stereo. I listen to 100% of my music in electronic (mp3) format. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Blind-buying an album (in mp3 format) is exactly the same experience as downloading a pre-release leak. Except that I can get the pre-release months earlier, and since listening to the actual music is the whole point, that's quite a nice advantage. Months later, when the stupid record labels get their shit together and are finally ready to accept my money, then I pay them by buying the album through iTunes or wherever.

I was out of town yesterday (seeing Amanda Palmer and Estradasphere play in Portland, woo!), so I missed this "release", and the office isn't particularly torrent-friendly, so this Primordial will have to wait 'til tonight. Grr. Then it will have to fight with "Beauty and the Geek" for my attention!

Well, either I misunderstand you or that's just daft. The difference between downloading a pre-release leak for free and SPENDING MONEY is that if the leak sucks, you don't have to subsequently spend any money.

Months later, when the stupid record labels get their shit together and are finally ready to accept my money, then I pay them by buying the album through iTunes or wherever.

Again, this is contingent on you having actually liked the free download prior to buying anything. The whole purpose of downloading beforehand is that it mitigates the risk of you having wasted any money on something you don't need/want/like.

Also, buying through iTunes means all your MP3s are ripped at 128K. Are you ok with that?

 

[Reign in Acai]

MP3s suck shit. There's no ands, ifs, or buts about it.

 

[JayKeeley]

I don't disagree. I like having the CD. Whether it gets played or not is a different matter.

The iPOD is a thing of convenience. The day someone invents a machine that allows me to carry my entire CD collection around without having to carry the CDs themselves will be a day of reckoning.

Sometimes I yearn for when the wife and kids leave the house without me. Not only do I knock one out, but I also play a CD on the stereo without wearing headphones!!!

EDIT: sometimes at the same time!

 

[Reign in Acai]

Honestly, how many times has the HD thread been of service?

 

[JayKeeley]

I gave up on it. I can download crap but when it plays, all I hear is sound! What the hell is wrong with my windows media player? I tried downloading some other shite movie viewer but that didn't work either. Perhaps I have an old video/graphics card or something. The best thing that ever came out of that thread for me was the youporn link.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Bro you need the proper codec pack!

Edit - Try this for starters. I have so many on my pc, I'm not sure which ones I do and don't need.

I'm pretty sure that's what he was actually saying (i.e. - "I listen to the pre-release leak and if I really like it, I buy it, I just happen to buy it in mp3 format as opposed to cd format unlike many of you inefficient chumps".).

Also, buying through iTunes means all your MP3s are ripped at 128K. Are you ok with that?

I suppose the way around that is to buy the mp3's to support band X and then listen to a higher bit rate version ripped somewhere else. Unless, as you say, you don't mind listening @ 128K.

[Reign in Acai]

Why not just paypal the band $15 bucks and cut out the middle man?!

 

[JayKeeley]

I'm not really sure what iTunes gives you other than inferior MP3s. At that point, I'd rather just download 256K MP3s and then just paypal $10 to the band directly, as Jerry said.

skyrefuge - do you download 256K or 192K MP3s, decide to buy the "official" MP3s via iTunes and then delete your higher quality MP3s to replace with crappy 128K MP3s?
