Re: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes
I never saw this site before, but it looks promising. I'm thinking about grabbing some of my fav Mr De electrobooty from there, it's easier to download than to rip the records I already own. I'll buy good digital versions of tracks even if I already own them. Especially since both my 1200's are broken and sitting in the corner. I really hope they might put some more UR classics for sale. It would be nice if they could expand their selection... ~David On 12/21/06, robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stewart Caig wrote: Whilst we are on the subject has anyone ever ordered anything from detroitdigitalvinyl.com?

I hope it's available on other popular sites preferably in WAV format. * Hey each to their own, but I wouldn't knock iTunes so much myself. For me iTunes = a reasonably fair, equitable arrangement for both artist and industry (no industry, no artist and vice versa, remember?) in which everybody who produces gets paid something as opposed to everybody who produces doing it for free - as in 'illegal downloads'. Also, regarding the quality, whilst ITMS files are ostensibly in 128kbps format, in fact, with Apple's proprietary 'AAC/m4a' (version of mp3) in reality using an average bit-rate, '128' can often mean rates up to 256. (The info is all on the web). Also, with the iTunes 'Producers Package', original master files from which the consumer files are copied are at a very good resolution, again raising the final quality - as I say, if you geek-out enough you can find all this - but people often say ITMS songs 'sound better' than 128, and certainly a lot of the ones I have heard do. (Clearly, I don't work for Apple, by the way! Just wanted to give a fair, balanced view.) Ken
Re: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes
iTunes is iPod-centric, and DRM-encumbered. ITunes licensing agreement for end users prohibits legal, legitimate uses of the purchased music, and furthermore, Apple resevers the right to change the license after the fact. I don't mind if people buy iPods and use iTunes, but I have real objections to the way they do business, especially when outfits like Bleep.com exist. http://www.defectivebydesign.org/
Re: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes
I agree Kent, though in fairness iTunes could be a lot lot worse. The DRM (currently) is fairly light and can be sidestepped. It's the 128k-ness that puts me off. I want 320kbps or full-fat wavs (in fact i'd much prefer the wav). For that reason, juno.co.uk or beatport are what I'd choose over iTMS. robin... kent williams wrote: iTunes is iPod-centric, and DRM-encumbered.

RE: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes
Yep, DRM'S a negative looked at from some perspectives. But there are also a lot of positives - and luckily a lot of people actually like using iPods. Nor is this to decry other good downloading sites - like Bleep.com - at all. -Original Message- From: kent williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 December 2006 13:53 To: list 313 Subject: Re: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes iTunes is iPod-centric, and DRM-encumbered.

RE: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes
I tried Rockbox on my 2nd-gen mini (last before the nano) and it didn't work. I am 'fick' (as we say here) though, so maybe it's just me. -Original Message- From: Matt Kane's Brain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 December 2006 14:45 To: Thomas D.
