Music Industry Opts For Selling ****

[Aargh]

Don't throw out your vinyl, CD's, or cassette tapes.

I just finished converting my cassettes to digital. I threw some out because I knew I could easily buy replacements on the Net. That's a huge mistake.

When I make CD's from the stuff I took off of old cassettes, the sound quality is better than what you can buy and download by miles. I found stuff on 30 year old cassettes that's still better quality than what you can buy on a download.

If putting stuff on an MP3 player is your intention, go ahead and buy the downloads. You're not hearing a lot of the original recording, but that's the compromise for the convenience.

If you want to listen to decent versions of your music, convert your vinyl and cassettes to digital. Huge hard discs that are now on every computer give you plenty of room to store the .wav files that sound so much better than the .wma's and .mp3's you can buy and download.

If you want information on how to do this, send me a PM.

Converting music to MP3 will cost you 5/6 of the information of the original recording.

Meaning, when you buy AC/DC MP3 you will only hear 1/6 of the information recorded.

Use FLAC or other losssless audio to maintain quality.

Vinyl just sound "different." It's kinda like charcoal grilling. There's a ritual to it. On the other hand, a good vinyl LP is much better than the $3.00 CD you might find in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Many CDs these days have compressed recordings too, but a well recorded CD is as good as it gets right now! I just custom built a theater room in my basement complete with all the goodies including 7.2 surround retailing in the neighborhood of $6000.00 (not an audiophile system by any means, but great sound none the less), and while my CDs are breathetaking, I can't hardly listen to my MP3s. They just suck!

Not likely. With Technics basically discontinuing the most popular and the most well built turntable of all time they are moving towards more "digitial" friendly mediums.

Now thats not to say other companies are making direct drive tables but lets be real... If you're driving your a benz youre not going to go for the volkswagon amirite

I love my old vinyl.

If you're driving your a benz youre not going to go for the volkswagon amirite

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coup de Ville Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

I got lost in a music thread. Sorry for the unsolicited, yet awesome lyrics.


Carry on.

You'll never dig for gold on a sandy beach. You'll never drill for oil on a city street. You'll never find a ruby in a mountain of rocks. And there ain't no Coupe DeVille hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd.

The worst thing in this thread might be the guy's shirt.

Actually, while the shirt is an abomination, the biggest travesty is seeing such a hot midget giving it up to such a loser. A midget that hot should be paired up with a much cooler guy. She should be with me...

Well, I don't like to brag, but I have a pretty good looking mug. Here is a photo of me shortly after the new phonebooks arrived.
