I really dislike the original disco version (forbid my sister from singing it at my wedding even), but I love Cake's version.
One of my all time favorite covers. Ava… -
A quick scan of my collection shows that eMusic does, in fact, offer some CBR files. Less than 1%, but they are there.
While I went off topic, I was simply trying to educate the masses on how quality, bitrate, and filesie interact. With… -
For a better understanding of why VBR is better, think of John Cage's 4'22". Say it's encoded at 256kbps CBR (Constant Bit Rate). That means the file size would be:
(256 kbps * (4*60 +22) seconds) / 8 bits = 8384 kB / 1024 bytes = 8.187… -
I always try to caution people when looking at mp3 files about comparing bitrates and file sizes, etc. Unless you're talking about lossless, more is not always better!
Files that are the same length and same bitrate should be about the s… -
My concern with Blu-ray is that the technology is simply not going to have much shelf life. I built up a size-able DVD collection over the course of a decade before deciding that I just wasn't watching them enough anymore (once again, when I was in …

Personally I love "Oh goody, another post from Panderer". But Wandy's new motto sums up just how pathetic he is: "I come not to praise emusic, but to damn some of its members."

I've been looking for a copy of this Fleming and John cover for sometime (used to have it on CD):
Misty Mountain Winter Wonderland -
Hey, it takes a while to get through The Wall.

@luddite - I guess that's one way of looking at it. But, to be fair, eMusic had actually add a lot of content leading up to Sony, too (Domino, Barsuk, Black Saint/Soul Note to na…

I remember watching Slamball when it first started. Believe it or not, that was nearly a decade ago. I can't believe it's still going on. The absolute laziest way to create a new sport - adding a wall or a hurdle or something. It's like the arena le…

I think it's because using the plural form of money is always fun.

That comic totally sums up my Netflix experience for some time.
Back in my bachelor days, a roommate and I went in on and account together (sadly before they added profiles and then deleted them). Since we were both getting 3 at a time f… -
I think it is an issue with mouse/trackpad drivers, which is why it is so wildly inconsistent (either too slow or too fast).

Took about 2 months, but this freebie from Guvera is finally comp… -
I didn't realize how much the bigger subscriptions were increasing. We've only done the single DVD for a while - and to be honest, we've had the same DVD sitting around the house for a couple months - and thought they were all just going up about a …

To add to that, Merge was never on Amie but is on The Lime (competing nickname, let's see which wins out). You'd think that Beggars would be on The Lime if they were fine with Amie.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach for $1.99
Also it looks like a lot of those 99 classical collections are $1.99. -
@tim - Oddly enough the Leaf Label that carries Efterklang's earlier work is not on Limewire. They also don't have 4AD, which eMu lost, so the latest isn't on either. And damn is tha…

@Bartholomaeus - Is the page showing up for you? That should be the right ID number, but I can't say that it's an exact science. The only reason I was doing it this way is …

I have a confession. I actually decided not to buy an album once based on the Pitchfork review.
To be fair, it was an album that sounded good to me, but I had a feeling that it would start to annoy me after awhile. Sure enough, the P4K r… -
Listening to that Jack PeIntriguing. I have 2 Eberhard Weber albums (plus at least 2 others he is on) but not that one. Will have to check it out next month when my refreshes kick in.My daughter asked to go to the mall yesterday. She's two - wanted to throw coins in the water fountain. What am I gonna do, tell her no? Holy carp, doesn't matter than it's before Thanksgiving. Pure madhouse. I was pretty amazed by how well behaved …
It's possible that there's nothing currently going on. It appears that they have a limited number for each deal, and once that many are sold they are expired. If all of the deals from one time slot sell out before the next time slot starts, you won'…
