What's the difference between musicians who only release their work on mp3s and those who get pressed (on vinyl or plastic) ? (this is a question, not a joke set-up :) Really, how do you guys root through all the mp3s out there to find quality stuff, and is there stuff that's comprable to the music that gets pressed? It's overwhelming to hit mp3.com and see thousands of people putting up their tracks, but where to start, y'know? I tend to skip real audio stuff, because quite frankly, real player is a serious resource hog on my mac and basically can't run it in the background and do anything else (granted I'm only running a 200 MHz ppc, but still...). Maybe a year ago I was mailing some guy who was trying to set up a sort of mp3.com for electronic music, but it was very techno/house/d'n'b oriented towards dancefloor stuff and didn't really do it for me. Are there any sites like that out there for IDMish music (sounds like a project if the answer's no... :) -Gil (sorry to post content here :P --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
