Well, I hypocritically caved, just too convenient and cheap, despite much is in print and on Blue Note, even. Clarifying the original releases:
Byrd Jazz (1955)
Off To the Races (1958)
Byrd In Hand (1959)
Fuego (1959)<… -
Never had any iTunes upgrade troubles. But my antipathy for conflating "iTunes" and the iTMS continues - the first is a software player, the second an online store! It will probably just get worse when the cloud implementation happens.

Congrats and good luck (I say as father of a 2 & 5 yo). On a serious note, taking kids to rock-type concerts is unfortunately pretty much off-limits purely because of the ubiquitous overamplification. It's hard to find an amplified show of any…

One mid-term thing to look forward to with the iTunes cloud model would be no more iTunes library multiple-machine sync issues - any device would access the same library - a big plus for those that actively use smart playlists contingent on their li…

> the work done to master or remaster a particular piece is part of the copyright for sound recording
I'm skeptical of this, and public domain stuff illustrates why: when a recording is in the public domain, I've never h… -
Mastering is subject to copyright? I've never heard of any upheld copyright violations on the basis of mastering/mixing alone, nor have I heard of any kind of criteria that would identify such a violation. Send me any pointers if you have any, I'm…

I have no ethical qualms about this or that country's particular copyright laws. I'm more concerned, regarding older music, about the lack of protection (afaik) of remasterings, packaging, etc. I dislike the idea of someone doing lots of work and …

A great deal for sure for lots of good music, but a bootleg, obviously. How much of the material is in or out of print?

thom, I grabbed my copy towards the end of 2008 as the result of some best-of-year mentions somewhere - I think I followed through originally from the emu board. I know I in What are you listening to right now? Comment by kargatron April 2010

froggie's clearly an extreme outlier, but for a more normal listening-load, if you listen digitally you can use smart playlists to keep your un- (or less-)heard music percolating to the top pretty easily without even thinking about it.

Glad you like it, SRM, seemed up your alley.

Listening to the Raketa on lala now, sounds very cool.

I visit the emu boards daily, though I don't participate as much as I used to, perhaps. Daily here too. Amie's catalog is still too limited relative to my tastes, I go there only on interesting(-to-me) pointers to grab some stuff. I do no freebie…

There are a few things I'll get around to pointing out, but am surprised and happy this is there: Anthony Braxton's Quartet (Dortmund) 1976, one of his most justly famous records, an…

Experimental improvisation fans, here's a nice selection of live excerpts from on the premier eai labels Another Timbre.

Sort, I presume your logic is just that Limewire has both sufficient overlap for you and cheaper prices than emusic. But there's a possible connotation that Limewire has stuff emusic does not - does it? That would surprise me greatly.
-
Sort, do you happen to have a handy list of non-popular-music label overlap between emu and limewire (i.e., what labels do you now pick up at limewire that you used to at emu)?

My grandfathered plan runs out in August, and I'm scheduled to move to a plan that atm is marketed with the 100 extra downloads. Anyone happen to know if automatic transfers to that plan get the bonus?
-
I think annual plans help with revenue forecasting, which is good for financial/corporate reasons. The plan is available in the plan list, it's nothing special offer-wise.
I can't easily imagine having a hard time spending 135 credits i… -
That In C is fabulous.

Doesn't matter. Pick one, will be fine.

I feel a bit guilty for never having followed through, but it's obvious that I didn't need to - many of those I would have chosen to rec for you given your initial request. Speaking as a legit Nels fan, I can only say that those would suffice to ha…

(Quote) Welll, just to be careful, the Beatles were covering the 1959 Barrett Strong hit. Who the Flying Lizards were "covering" is for them to state, I suppose...
Besides sampling albums I want to try out, I also use it to listen to albums from Tom Moon's 1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die list, which is fun and useful.I think one arguable truly objective definition of "perfect pop song" could be the one that earns the most (inflation-adjusted) money over some long period of time - that wouldn't require any aesthetic interference at all! :)I dunno, mojo, that's the definition of "earworm", and they can be perfectly evil and banal things that no one would call a "perfect pop song".Was gonna mention VLC, but that requires extra install, and QT's already there for mac (and already loaded given iTunes open).That happened because you have iTunes keyed to play mp3s or m3us. Due to the annoying fact that iTunes automatically adds anything to its library, that's a poor choice. Pick something lightweight to associate with mp3s (e.g. winamp for Windows, QT…If the sample is on a webpage, it has a url, and you put that url after the '='. Just right-click the sample and 'copy link location' or whatever. The text ("Artist - 'Track'" above) between the tags is whatever you want.
