For some reason, the same idea springs up multiple places -- I was just reading an interview with Roger Mcguinn in TapeOp and he was wondering why the major labels don't point out more often that MP3s don't sound as good as CDs. By the way: http://www.tapeop.com/ Tapeop is a truly great magazine, if you have any interest at all in how music is recorded. Current issue has an interview with Hrvatski! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Probably because the majority of major-label music is heard through radio, which has a much worse quality compared to mp3. If they say "it's worse than CD," the argument that "It's a lot better than radio" would also be valid. It is now, of course, but it's not really part of the arguments being used. Since radio play is essentially the same according to the record execs, having even a "not exactly cd quality" mp3 copy is pretty much just as bad. derek ------- eggytoast.com - eggtastic.com ------- it's in your grocer's freezer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

yup. think the SE/30 isn't good for more than a n old-school sequencer or a doorstop ? you haven't seen some of our installations :) http://c-trl.com/68k btw- starting in 1997, www.se30.com was hosted on an SE/30 running OpenBSD, apache, majordomo, IMAP4, SMTP, POP3, BIND, FTPD, and HXD. It had 128MB of RAM, a 4GB internal and 6 x 36GB 10k RPM external SCSI hard drives. it had over 120 active user accounts and funneled approx 40GB of data/mo through it. then the dot-bomb required me closing down my colocation facilities :( I hope to resurect it sometime in the not so distant future. until then i'll be working on my Connect-4 Wall-O-Mac's (and later Tetris - blinkin' lights and brown university have nothin' on me ! ;) -=dave ps- we are always looking for machine donations. if you have an SE/30 compact mac you're willing to donate to the video wall project please contact me. thx ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Fleschler" <mef@ecst.csuchico.edu> Cc: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [idm] err SE/30???
