AAC vs. MP3 is another grey area for me - yes, it is the default on the Mac, and I just continue to use it because I burn my CDs to Music CDRs which will generally play on any machine I've encountered, and they could be copied for a friend on a dubb…

It sucks, but in a really good way. Sorry, that sounds vile, but it's a wild and crazy show. -
Five days in and finally a response from the Ministry Of Truth -

A near identical response was posted to the thread about low classical bit-rates. Wow, that's customer service. Let me go back to holding my breath. -
Double rec on Mad Men. I committed my cyber-crime before even heading to work with the acquisition of the M-Audio computer monitors I missed out on a couple of weeks ago as a Gold Box Deal - figure they'll double nicely as speakers for a secondary …

Some of those were Deals during the week and I'd not be surprised to see some of those bigger titles as tomorrow's Deals, namely DSOTM and the Lennon comp. I am pissed I just got that Mavis Staples release at eMu 2 weeks ago.

For some reason Amazon has this at $3.99 at the moment - perhaps because 7digital has it at $4- 35 tracks coming in at 2:25 or so - The Singl…

In spite of my eMu misgivings of the moment I just gave this one a listen and although there's a certain early '70's excess to it in some ways, I really liked it - in Post your inside tips and mispriced box sets right here Comment by BigD-Bluez November 2010

Well FWIW I've hunted up an actual comparison from my eMusic downloads - I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James - both versions at 2:37 - from the album Raw Blues Volume 1 downloaded in October: 3.5MB in LAME 3.96, 183kbps(VBR); from last week's U…

I'm currently obsessed with NWOBHM - well, not exactly new anymore. It's fulfilling a need for new areas for me, because I just don't like the guitar tones and cookie monster vocals of a lot of modern metal. Michael Schenker era … -
For the record the comparison was between tracks from Chess Soul (UMG) and Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens, a compilation of even older material of a bluesy/jump R&B vein, so genre wise they were pretty close, besides being contiguous in my eM…

Far out. My retro old fart cred is untarnished. If I have any of these I got them on Amie for free, and they are now somewhere on the hard drive at home. If they'd added The New Pornographers it would have spoiled my no hitter.

I haven't had the opportunity to do any quality listening since this came up - this long weekend will provide - but I was listening to the Chess Soul comp last weekend, just on the desktop, not that loud, and I was a little underwh… -
Here's a different issue - is the Rolling Stones by the Rolling Stones more than one year old? I naively thought so, but I guess their Rock Star status entitles eMu to still charge $6.99 for the album, and 0.79 per song. There are about 5 Abkco al…

I see a cat training DVD as a compilation of the things they teach you to do - for them, and gladly to boot.

The shocking fact I forgot to mention is that the Webb Wilder album was in the Recommended For You on eMu this morning - not to give the webmonkeys too much credit, I have downloaded some Webb there, but I was none the less surprised to find a truly…

I've noticed lawyers like to use "monies" also - any elucidation from the accused?

Six, eh? Been there, scooped that. We have gone done to lower levels in this decade than before - had a whole age cohort of 5 cats pass away in 2001, all 17 or 18, and it was just too much for us to go through again. We went down to 3 after that.…

This to me is big - my other favorite Webb Wilder album (along with It Came From Nashville) is now on eMu - Hybrid Vigor - this was m…

I notice I saw all of today's five $1.99 Black Friday MP3 Deals last night while scanning the $1.99 category, for whatever that's worth.
CDs now - Peter Gabriel Scratch My Back 5AM-9AM PST $5.99
Hendrix Valleys of Neptune 9AM-1PM P… -
If anybody misses the days of pre-album pricing Past Classics opera releases there are a bunch in the <$4.99 category most at $2.97- winnow down the sub-cat to opera, and/or adjust the price range to $1.99-$2.99. I saw at least half a dozen titl…

Used up my other credit for the 10:35 Album Only (eMu or Amazon) The Messiah Will Come Again from disc 1 of Gary Moore's Essential Montreaux. Slim pickings at this level but you gotta make them count - as Spencer Tracy said of Katherine Hepburn - t…

It's not a Mac thing, I can attest. Most of the deals have a time window or they may sell out - expired either way. Try hitting the main page and going to either the Black Friday box, or to the Today's Deals page which is also linked to the Black …

2 from Geico - thank you little lizard friend - got the 17 minute Black Orpheus medley from Bola Sete at Monterey Jazz - can get the other 5 tracks at eMu for 0.49 - sweet. Wait, don't need the Spoken Introduction track - only 4 - album=$1.96. Was…

Here's a Gene Ammons release I once had in my waiting for album pricing SFL, then it disappeared, but is now back - The Gene…
-
This was the last thing I downloaded yesterday - it's been in the SFL for a while, and either I had a moment of clarity or I'd been at the computer too long. There are actually some very cool songs on here - in Post your inside tips and mispriced box sets right here Comment by BigD-Bluez November 2010

srm, that's an interesting offering, and what with the holidays approaching the song Christmas With Satan is very appropriate given everyone's feeling about the other place. What I want to know is - at 9:54 that would be Album Only on many r…

I'd stick around and try it - CS did actually respond well to a problem I just had, even if you have to club them over the head a little - I always send a reiteration reply to the robo-response just to nudge them along. But what's with this first t…

Although it is self-defeating in terms of my constant losing war with physical clutter I'm burning CDs to mix in with the "real" CDs on the shelves - it gives me a greater sense of cohesion, and a bigger chance of actually hearing the stuff, on the …

Amazon's Black Friday Week Calender for CD deals is out - link - most at $5.99. I see a few more of those indie thumb in yer eye…

Just found this Ginger Baker album I have and like very much for $2.94 - Middle Passage - it has that magical quality of being only six …
