With It I have a package called, "Easy CD Creator Deluxe Edition". This package include all the standard burning utilities and Authoring stuff "PLUS" a little thing called "Spin Doctor". >> I have tried a few programs that clean up. The Logic Audio program from Emagic worked the best. Still I would highly disagree to use any program to clean it up. The longer the song the worst the job it does. I sort of normalized some frequencies. Even the Logic program no matter how well you set the sensitivity or other functions they still sound like shit they become very muffled. Also when you do this you must check in on studio monitors not your computer speakers!

Finally we have established some exchange of Yello rarities. Thanks for you time and your effort, especially to Shane! I have changed the software that I need for our mp3 collection a couple of times, but I am still not happy with all the programs I use. I would like to share my experience with you about this and maybe you can recommend something?=20 Presently I use (all for Win95): - - for CD ripping (i.e. copying songs from CD or other audio to wav files) WinDAC32 1.33 - - for compressing wav files to mp3 CD compressor 0.9f - - as mp3 player Winamp 1.70 (I have seen that there is 1.73 now) - - as ftp software (upload + download) ftp voyager 5.0.2.1 Some features:=20 - - WinDAC32 recognised my CD-ROM drive automatically, it's simple to handle and it's in German. The messages in the shareware version bother a bit, so either you buy the product or you look for a crack on www, but we wouldn't do anything illegal would we? Unfortunately it creates only huge wav files which my harddrive doesn't feel too comfortable about. Isn't there any easy to use CD ripper that creates directly mp3 files?=20 - - CD compressor is able to create only 128 kbps / 44 kHz files as maximum quality, but with regards to file size that's OK for our purposes as we have discussed earlier on. Creating these in normal mode takes an hour or so which is a bit long. That's why I did it in quick mode (about 15-20 mins for a song) but I consider compressing the songs again in normal mode and upping them after Shane's hint about quality. Somewhere I read that this program has been banned, I have no reason why... Apart from that I am happy with this.=20 - - Winamp is powerful. I like the equalizer, the playlist editor and the fact that you can edit those ID tags (i.e. tags about album title, artist, year plus a comment which become part of the mp3 file), they make the extra txt file on the ftp server almost superfluous. It takes a little too much RAM capacity though.=20 - - ftp voyager has this faciliy of resuming an ftp upload or download when something goes wrong. Really useful.=20 OK. If you have any idea on how to improve this please feel free to comment, if you wish by e-mail or if your comment is of interest also to the other mp3 newbies by replying to the list (I hope the Yello purists don't mind too much about this posting...) I am looking forward to your next songs.

I'm not "really" new on the list (joined in November) but since I've read the whole 200 last messages in one time (!) I decided to be more involved in it. There are things to say... But to be brief (?) this time, I'll only introduce myself : I'm a 31 years old Froggy French Fan of Yello (am I the only French speaker here ?). I discovered them at the begining of the '80 on the radio. It was the start of what we called the locals "free radios" (vs the nationals authorized AM ones) on the MF band, wich are now quite as big, powerful and boring as the others. Made by some freaks with poorly means, my local radio ended its programs about 11-12pm, then put a tape of various songs 'til the day after and... go sleeping ! One night I've heared something that looked strange to me, something I've had never listened anywhere, never. It was "I Love You" and "Lost Again". Oh God : this new sounds, music and voice... I was completly crazy about it. As it was the same tape every night, I "take care" to go there "Same time, same place" for weeks to listen to them !! Later in 1986, they had a "Number one", here in Europe, with "Viscious Games". Then I started my collection. One day, I even cancelled a concert of Earth Wind & Fire (yes : I've been young...) just to listen the 4 albums I'd received in the afternoon ! Maybe I missed a lot since the begining of the list, but how was it for all of you, the "first time" ?

Though I wouldn't like to comment on the group (as I >have >only heard "History repeating...") it could be interesting to listen to >more of their stuff. > >All the best, > >James Hello all. I have the Propellerheads CD, so I can add some comments. First of all, the comparison with Yello; I wouldn't exactly call them the Yello of the 90's. IMHO, they haven't quite got the spark of individualism or originality that Yello have. Its hard to explain, but when I listen to Yello I just feel that this is music that comes from two zany, crazy, individuals, and that no other people can sound quite like these two guys. When I listen to Propellerheads, I think that it is good music, but probably any good musicians could come up with something similar. It just doesn't have an individualistic feel. Perhaps on future albums they may develop more. As for "History Repeating...", this is a good song, but is not a full indication of what the rest of the CD is like. The other songs have far less reliance on lyrics. There is a fair amount of variety in how the other songs sound, which is good. Some of them have great bass sounds, and I think that some of the percussion work on some of the tracks does sound similar to some Yello work. Overall, I really like it. Just my opinions of course.

I'll vote for that. The follow up "1 2 3 4" is worth a listen imho, and they were one of the ONLY ones possibly "weighing in" with YELLO! If anyone is up for discussion: What would YELLO have sounded like being produced by someone like Trevor Horn, who, as it happens, produced Propaganda's debut album mentioned above "A Secret Wish"?!
