Thanks, All, for the info. I dont know if I can fathom the idea of replacing my records with a laptop computer, but it would be great to have so that you could drop .wav files of your own track into your own set without the costs of vinyl-pressing. It would also be great to get ahold of tracks that are long out-of-print, however i'm afraid this may lead to a homogenization of the music scene... If everyone has equal access to the same tracks, I think your going to see alot of DJ's all playing the same tracks, none of which having "that record" to drop that no-one else plays....
As far as the producers not getting paid, well, I know when I truly like an artist or band that I have downloaded off of napster, I do in fact purchase the CD. In response to an earlier comment in this thread, There was in fact a reduction in shipping costs when CD's were first released, but the problem is thast this was never passed on to the consumer, it was rather absorbed by the companys themselves... Hopefully a system can be developed to get payments to artists who are distributed digitally, but I believe the big record companys will fight this tooth and nail.. dj revolver wrote: > that's about all of the info i've heard as well. sounds like a great > concept. i'm very curious to try it and find out how responsive it truly is. > > >From: PJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: 313@hyperreal.org > >Subject: [313] ANyone know about Finalscratch (maybe OT) > >Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 07:32:10 -0400 > > > >Hey, all... > >I was wondering if anyone outhere has seen, played with, or has any > >other info about the Finalscratch Program that John & Richie are > >currently using.
