A couple of days ago I wrote a foolishly uninformed email asking help in playing the CD that came with that Italian magazine. My computer showed only Quicktime movie files on the disk, but I knew there were a dozen or so music tracks on it. As Brian pointed out, over the phone, the cd tracks would probably play only on a real CD player (and not my computer). In fact, that was the case, as I discovered when I took the CD home. But this also, as far as I can tell, means the music tracks are "copy-protected", since I can't access the directory containing the music tracks on my computer. I could, perhaps, just try to copy the whole disk, and assume the music tracks would get copied with everything else, but I don't see how I can extract specific songs. Are there software programs that will let me see the music? And how are you, anyway, AZ?

Not sure how this would apply to mixed-content discs. Yes, for the time being, going through analog cabling/components (with a couple more analog/digital conversions along the way) is a workaround. But I think most people are doing this sort of thing internally in their computers, which does indeed make it a large hindrance. And I am sure they are working on solutions to the analog problem, whether technical or legislative (outlawing analog equipment as a 'circumvention tool' under the DMCA guidelines? y'never know). - --M.Ace # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2001 20:55:15 +0000 From: KK Subject: Re: (exotica) more anti-copy cd news azed@pathcom.com wrote: > Unless you're planning to develop a taste for Celine Dion or Creed, it > doesn't seem like much of an issue. > > AZ I think sound carriers will not be much of an issue, sooner or later. On the other hand: “Listening movies” as being reported in the current Spiegel magazine (Germany). This will give a boost to soundcarrier sales I believe. The album concept (or concept album) reinvented. The concept is about incorporating sounds, effects and speach, maybe combing to something like a story, with the music into the thing.

My fiance's MP3-compatible boomity-box is very new but not very sophisticated and I am willing to believe that they will all work this way: When the boomity-box reads up a CD with MP3s in directories, it takes a bit of extra time to scan each directory and subdirectory (to how many sublevels I don't know), finds the MP3 files, and lists them all. SO for example, in a CD of 16 LP albums given to me by Domenic Ciccone (The Martini Guy), the boomity-box reads all the folders and comes back with 174 tracks to play. It will play these sequentially from alphabetical folder to alphabetical folder unless some different play sequence is programmed. I'm willing to bet that's how your device will access the files as well. azed@pathcom.com wrote: > AS far as that other thing abuot how many MP3's can go on a CD, I guess they must have converted to Wav Files or whatever you said, because I just saved them to my hard drive and then dumped them onto CD with Easy CD creator and they came out to 67 minutes for the two soundtracks. And to be honest, I don't think I'm prepared for the idea of putting a dozen records on one CD. And anyway, if the Mp3's don't get converted, how will my CD player be able to play an MP3?

It's on "The Great Arrival!," one of Doc Severinsen's later Command albums--everyone of which, by the way, includes at least one Bacharach cover, several of them obscure--e.g., "Love was here before the stars" on "Doc S. with Strings." And to latch onto another now-obsolete thread, No, Los Amigos are not the Castro Brothers. They are, however, a 60s version of the Four Amigos, and recorded for Capitol under both names. I put selections from these along with ones from the Castros and "the Fantastic Los Vegas" on a CDR before packing off most of my records to storage. I also included a few cuts from a terrific CD I found at the library, which you can buy for your own listening pleasure: Los Zafiros. They were, in effect, a Cuban (i.e., post-revolution Cuban) doo-wop group that were the Beatles of post-revolution Cuba. But the best cut, which I used to lead off the CDR, is their smoking original, "Bossa Cubana."

Getting a decent playback? Repair? If you have a hairline crack at the outside edge, you can put a bit of scotch tape in the lead in groove to keep it from getting worse. But a cracked 78 is doomed. All you can do is transfer it to salvage what you can out of it. Every time you play it, the needle will take a dive at the crack and eat off some of the groove at that point. Some 78s, particularly those by Columbia, were laminated, and hairline cracks don't affect them as seriously as a solid shellac 78. Luckilly 78s are cheap enough, you won't cry when one breaks... unless it is part of a set. That really hurts because there is no way you will ever find the missing disk to replace it.

A while back I downloaded as many old episodes of "Dragnet" as I could score from LimeWire. They are particularly forgiving in file size, lo-fi and mono! Then I proceeded to clip the whole shows down to just the ads for cigarettes and Bibles. Jack Webb apparently didn't see the contradiction. I still have these clips posted! Please go to... http://briefcase.yahoo.com/hanagrey ...and pull down all the clips in the folder "Jack Webb Loved Cigarettes and Bibles." I think you'll agree that Webb had quite an agenda going.

The higher the bitrate the larger the files so the less audio can be stored. I have CDs that hold literally DAYS of audio because they have Old Time Radio shows that are encoded at 32 Kb mono. That's around 3.5 Mb per half hour of programming.

I would not call it a novelty record, but they definitely put it out with tongue in cheek. Most of the titles take old favorties and substitute Saw wherever they can.

I could put all of basic hip's uploads (and more) on one CD, but why bother if I can't crank it up on the living room hi-fi? However, having said that, I think this is as good a place as any to extol the virtues of the Sonicblue Rio Volt, an mp3 cd player which I bought for a relatively measly $99 off their website. As Dan Mastous wrote above, I have what seems like days worth of Dimension X and The Lives of Harry Lime and The Goon Show on 2-3 CDs. And the Rio Volt has been a rock-solid performer so far, even picking up where you left off on an mp3. (Of course, at higher bitrates one would have to use more CDs.)

The observation is right that they haven't had anything out in the series since 1999, and that link to "Register for Free Swag" mysteriously offers no real information so it is possible they are just beginning a housecleaning. I checked whether the U-L website is still there, and it is, complete with its drink recipies, its robot Flash radio stream and its "updates" section which offers not even a glimmer of hope for new releases. Some people chide the series for the same reason others praise it - it's just so Introductory. I'm assuming that we're all so jaded here that no one on this list spends a great deal of time cranking up their now-aging copies of their samplers. On the other hand, they did make a delightful background back at my Y2K party, in which the invited guests had never heard any of it. I never would have known about Luxuria Music if they hadn't had a cross-promotion with the U-L website at the tail end of May 2000. So... Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I didn't believe my Sony didn't until a cousin of mine showed me. The only thing my Samsung cannot read is a CD of MP3s with no playlist, which Easy CD Creator 5 adds automatically when you select "MP3 Project".

Of all people in the universe the notorious Alan Zweig doing a review of a CD by, of all bands in the universe, The Lords!!! This is really too much. The Lords. You can't call them a band really, they were a phenomenon, a strictly german phenomenon that is, this lead singer of them, Lord Uli, whom I saw performing some 5 years ago in a disco not long before his death, was the typical post-war 60s slacker. Their big hit "Gloryland" is beyond belief. They are above all a childhood phenomenon, that I wouldn't even talk about with other germans, who might still know them. I would never ever have believed that the Lords would create any attention outside Germany or outside the 60s ever, and now Alan - Alan! - writes about them! What does this tell me?
