<this post was a classic. i couldn't resist.
well good but i do not understand why you reply in that way, maybe i
missed a point but i didn't get the impression that Greg was
patronizing.
<2) he wasn't bragging, he was talking about how much he
appreciated the
<format. also, recording MDs for personal use (which is what
he was)
< is considered legal under US anti-piracy laws and has been
<for years and years.
yes sure and i kinda remember he wrote he had bought less than 20 CDs
since he has a MD player, probably ten times less than the previous
year. Of course this is personal use and personal pleasure...
<3) so people shouldn't talk about mp3 and MD and cd-r because
of label
<reps? please. that's the lamest kind of deference i can
imagine.
well obviously feel free to mention any subject you wish and as far as
I'm concerned i do not burn CDRs of records coming from good, honest,
smaller indie labels.
<let me break it down for you.
thank you so much for your kind help
<1) the advantage of DVDs (in a piracy sense) is the regional
encoding
<that basically enforces price fixing per region. let's say
you're
<english and travel to the states and buy a bunch of DVDs.
they won't
<work at home because of the UK.
in theory but the way to get rid of the country-encoding is well-known
among the video-connoisseurs and collectors. We know how to get rid of
it and also how to copy DVD on videotapes... and transfer it from any
format in any other one.
<yeah, and in america you can buy a gun and ammunition without
a waiting
<period. don't make patronizing "it's a very different
culture" comments.
<no shit, sherlock! japan is a different country! but he was
talking
<about how these machines utilize MD's market position as a
replacement
<for cassette tapes. because MD didn't take off you didn't see
similar
<machines in america as "make your own CD comp" machines don't
factor in
<1) a re-recordable medium [MD is a million times
re-recordable] 2) no
<auto-titling [MDs allow you to title each track, visible on
every
<player, so you don't need to worry about packaging like you
do with
<cd-r] 3) and the fact that you can BRING IN AN MD with STUFF
ALREADY ON
<IT to ADD MORE SONGS. you can't bring in a cd-r to add tracks
- you can
<only make an entirely new disc. bad analogy.
jrdn
no shit jrdn MDs are very convenient, thanks for patronizing and
preaching
