I like CD's too and both vehicles have a CD player as well as I have player in my audio system. No way am I going to continue to pay for the privilege to stream music.

Thing is I'm paying far less/month than I used to while exploring a far wider selection of music. No complaints here.

We won't get into Sony BMG's utterly insane business practices which followed in the years after... (remember Sony rootkit-gate?) and Microsoft trying to own the DRM market by owning the formats underlying DVD and HDCD... those abominations actually are more politics than technology, and I have no interest right now... I'm miserable with back pain and stuck in the middle of 3 different projects; all stalled waiting on parts or weather or both.

Cheers,

The single reason which answers all that, and the fact that it continues to persist even today, and still indirectly poisons all digital formats that have followed, is simple human greed.  :-//
I'm talking about audio quality and manageability, and you are -- conveniently to your argument -- including metadata and politics.
You should know by now that everything surrounding Capitalism and free economy in dragon's mind is driven by profit, greed, and crooked politics. Doesn't matter what the subject matter is...he always manages to drag in his endless bantering and verbal diarrhea. So much so that 90% of his posting I either skim or skip entirely. Perhaps he should move to Cuba, or China, or perhaps even North Korea for a year or so and then report back how great it is.     

Seriously Mike...? You are better than this kind of Facebook-grade childish personal attack. I was talking aboot the history involved, and human nature... you guys brought politics into it.

Where do we draw the line with your demands for intolerance? First it was zero-tolerance on anything involving politics; now that the flaming bag of dogshit is out of 1600 PA Ave, it's anything even addressing human nature? How aboot parenthood... is that still okay? Before long, this thread will be nothing but dog poetry and stupid cat pics. :palm:

I think I'm going to chalk this one up to you being miserable and a bit prickly as a result; maybe that's the case with me too, as my back has been screaming at me since doing yardwork and not taking a break from biking/workouts the last few days.

I can tolerate pretty much anything except intolerance.

I know. It's just more fun to keep at it that way. And, I think mnem is right on to something here. Actually, I do.  Capitalism involves using the resources you have to rob others of their work or monies in order to further your own coin pile, all under a gauze-thin veil of "offered convenience" and "flourishing society". It is an industrial variant of the feudal conservative society and as such it shares the fundamentals of conservatism:
  • Those who have shall continue to gain more, unproportionally.
  • The rules limiting behaviour only apply to the ruled classes.
But such a fight needs to be fought with precision from a moral high ground of accurate statements -- it won't do to turn it into ranting. Therefore, I offer my support.  :-DD

Again... we were discussing whether CDDA was a superior format... I argued that objectively, the format was literally the least they could do... and that the reason it was made the way it was, as with most things viewed through the lens of historical events... is simple short-sighted human selfishness and stupidity in the people making the decisions.

If you want to get into the ideologies involved... well, that's a discussion I welcome, as long as it's kept civil. Others here disagree. :-//

scored a free Compaq rack so playing with new metrology stack setup. Getting flashbacks to when I used to play with Compaq servers, Netware and such things. They used to make some great equipment.

Not to mention YOU OWN the CD unlike a iTunes download.
Yes and no...   technically, you have still licensed the music on the disc (you are not allowed to broadcast it, public performances, etc.)

But I'm nitpicking.   I've actually just bought a stack of CDs and use them to burn compilations that I then share and discuss with my friends -  it is so much more "tangible", and - funnily enough - most people still have a CD player somewhere, even if it is in their car or whatever, and they seem to enjoy dusting it off and "going back to their roots".

  I like the Verbatim "Digital Vinyl" CDRs for this, they look awesome and work great, giving a completely inauthentic experience!  :D

*History Time*

Actually, you don't necessarily even own that. According to the law as it stands now stood aboot a decade ago in the US, you don't own even the CD as a storage medium anymore; you only own the plastic itself... your rights to the contents now are solely contingent upon the printed paper "label" that came in in the jewel box packaging with the copyright disclaimer on it.


Due to the fact of pretty much everybody in the world getting rid of the CD cases then putting just the discs in CD portfolios to make their stone-age music library manageable... when folks started then ripping their library to iTunes, then selling the folios on eBay or pawn shops for a pittance, cutting into new disc sales across the board... then music execs panicked and spent oodles of bucks buying new laws that made those folios of CDs technically illegal, therefore worthless in any legitimate resale venue.  ::)

However... before that time, the disc and the copy of the data on it was technically yours, and the break-seal EULA stated so. This carefully crafted body of new laws retconned every law those same music execs agreed to with the end-user for almost 2 decades of CD music sales; literally changing the terms of sale years after the physical item was purchased. :palm:

Yeah, I also used to enjoy making and sharing mix tapes... "Fair Use" actually meant something once upon a time.  :o

Of course, that horrible evil of distributing poor quality copies of individual tracks without paying music executives a cut under the pay for play business model was the excuse made for granting the RIAA their current level of unconscionable political and legal power.

The popularity of Guardians of the Galaxy has recently brought with it a resurgence in this once popular pastime... as you say, much more tangible and personal than emailing somebody a link to your (or much more often, someone else's) playlist.  :P

I used to use those discs back in the day; when I kept a small CD folio in the center console and a CD player in the dash. The car is a horrible environment for CDs; the attrition rate made archiving originals and playing copies, at least in my mind, an absolute necessity. Sadly, when I bought a Pioneer CD Cartridge deck, it refused to play them... and I had to go back to conventional clear substrate discs.

But hey! They were printable!  :-DD

The problem with techies (and I'm not just talking about you Mnem) stating that "the law is this" or "the law is that" are twofold. One, they often don't know the law or have the background to interpret it correctly even if they have the relevant bit of legislation open in front of them. Two, even if they get it right, it only applies to the little backwater of 4.22% to 0.000136% of the world's population that they themselves live in.

Could be... it's been a while since I was involved in those circles... easily a decade or more. I pretty much gave up on all that bunk a while back.  :-[

Once I had to start using iTunes because of my wife's profession, it became pretty clear that it was the best use of my time... rip it once, and you can curate it, archive it, and burn copies whenever you need to make it portable. We still have a dozen CD folios of the original music archive in storage; fuck the RIAA.

I also have a couple 4th-5th gen iPod Nanos I keep alive simply for the convenience. I'm weird and it annoys me to have the music turn itself off if I get a phone call; when I'm listening to my albums, I want to decide whether the call is important enough to disrupt the flow of chi. :-//

<snip>

Fun today. Toilet flush packed in. Siphon dead. I’m not doing any plumbing as I only do electrons and higher levels of information abstraction.  Well fuck I didn’t get away with the hack job I did last time and now need a new toilet  :-DD
You can go to the hardware store B&Q etc, and buy just the siphon and replace the old one, no need for an expensive new toilet.

Yeah not that easy. It was immovably stuck which is why I rapidly subcontracted it out to someone else. During removal the pipe needed to be replaced and the donut flange thing. Which is now pissing out because the original person who installed it (not me) managed to take a chunk out of the cistern and bodged it with sealant.

I think I'm horrible at plumbing, but since it's an opportunity to buy tools and go backwards into more crafty styles of doing things I now have pipe threading tools (REMS EVA) up to BSPT 1 1/4" and am quite good at sealing threaded joints with flax and compound.  :palm:

Also, owning a swimming pool creates sort of a basic requirement to either pay silly amounts of money or learn to fix things. My main rule is that I don't cheat in plumbing, because I'm too bad at it to cheat with style.

I've fixed one of our loos that had the outlet cracked. Thankfully it was a properly supported one, so spares are available, 30 years after it was introduced. I had to get the tank off and dismount the entire mechanism to swap that bad part out. This thread describes that.

A very good point.

Another point is that “the law” is a set of definitions which merely define things and consequences of those things. Application of “the law” is not absolute or deterministic. A demon doesn’t just materialise out of thin air and brand you as a criminal. If it did I’d have a fine collection of demons by now.

I’m going to state now that if steaming disappears or becomes inconvenient to me then I will stand tall on the poop deck, erect my mast, sail into the pirate bay and head straight for the booty  ;)

I do not give a fuck about licensing and ownership past my convenience and no one else does. The law is entirely irrelevant if that is generally the case.

And I'll argue that the citation may be requested, but it is not required. ;)

You can feel free to discount what I say, or you can do your own research like I did. I used to be pretty heavily into this, as it was my "thing". Now that you bring this to my attention, I will admit it has been a long while since I traveled in those circles too. I'm certain some things have changed. In mind of your considered argument, I will go and amend my original statement appropriately. :-+

I will state freely that this was the case at the time they bought these laws, and it was primarily in the US that they did successfully bring that about.

I'm not sure how subsequent legal arguments in other nations, especially the EU and UK, eventually panned out... though it is my understanding that many of them did in fact drag on for over a decade, making a lot of the argument moot.

However, I have little doubt these laws remain in effect, at least in the US; as of the time I left Tejas, pawn shops and CD Exchange type places still refused to buy any disc or collection that didn't have the original jewel boxes and cover art slips; with disclaimers citing this legal action posted in plain sight.

One thing I'm still certain of though... is that we, the customers, continue pay for all that legal hoodoo... whether it comes/came to fruition or not.  :P

Quite right, I have a couple of Alexa speakers around the house and can stream music from Amazon Prime to them, but I only stream what is included free with my standard Prime package, I won't pay for music when I can play shitloads from my CD collection, iTunes server or Internet Radio for free (as long as pay for internet).

I'll argue that being a somewhat sane & sensible person capable of independent thought is why we both in fact do have a fine collection of demons at our advanced age. ;)

Very nice. Recommend Revox B77 with external Nakamichi Dolby C

That would be nice but the price is currently getting insane on this units.
I just got an A77 mark IV I'm completely restoring.

I hope getting a B77 or a PR99 a day for a decent price.
The total dream would be to get a Studer  :-DD
