Mike...I think the use of the word "doesn't" was a typo and he meant to say that such extra costs should be factored in. At least I think so anyway. I gave him the benefit of that doubt. :-) Don C. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Question for Don
Why is that? You don't feel that a person who took the cost factor into account in his own deliberation should not allow that same cost factor for others?

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === I considered that, but chose to challenge it, instead, in hopes that he would either see the error in logic or note the typo. shrug Haven't heard, either way.

James Jarvie [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Also, just to weigh in on the previous debate. Yes, I have a computer. No, I cannot burn CDs (older computer not fast enough - can't afford / justify the cost to get a new one). Still, I think if we are going to debate this issue, that it must be granted that anyone considering using MP3s has the neccessary gear, and that it shouldn't be factored into the cost equation. I'm going to have to disagree, here. By your own statement, above, you have obviously considered using MP3s, but have already factored cost into the equation. To wit, you yourself say "older computer not fast enough - can't afford/justify the cost to get a new one". And in an earlier paragraph, you note that you also can't justify the cost of the Expanium kit. In other words, you really can't take the cost factor into consideration for your personal debate, and then decry the same factor in the overall debate. -- Mike Burger CompuCom Information Services http://www.compucomis.net (215) 946-5573 - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Question for Don
Here's where we part company. You would never now the difference between my Expanium playing MP3 files and my Expanium playing the original CD. I guarantee it. Inferior sound quality? Nope. Not at all. But then, don't believe me. Just burn a CD full of MP3s and borrow an Expanium...maybe a Circuit City store demo model...and listen for yourself. Don C. I have three questions for you Don, and please don't take this as any sort of criticism or sarcasm, because it's not meant that way (though it may sound it). 1. It's apparent that you are very fond of MP3s and your Expanium (of which I never heard until you weighed in on this list). My question is: do you do minidiscs at all? I assume you must because you're on this list. I can't, however, remember you talking about using MDs personally (though you seem to know enough about them to suggest that either you do or you have used them). If you have mentioned using MDs personally and I missed it,them I apologize. 2. If you are using MDs as well as your Expanium, then my second question is: do you find that you have uses for both, or do has the Expanium taken the place of MDs for you 3. Have you listened to any classical music on either (especially orchestral stuff, though it's more common to find chamber music than orchestral on MP3s). I have to admit that your description of the Expanium intrigues mebut I can't afford more kit right now. Also, just to weigh in on the previous debate. Yes, I have a computer. No, I cannot burn CDs (older computer not fast enough - can't afford / justify the cost to get a new one). Still, I think if we are going to debate this issue, that it must be granted that anyone considering using MP3s has the neccessary gear, and that it shouldn't be factored into the cost equation. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: MD: Question for Don
From: "James Jarvie" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have three questions for you Don, and please don't take this as any sort of criticism or sarcasm, because it's not meant that way (though it may sound it). No problem James. But thanks for the qualifiers. 1. It's apparent that you are very fond of MP3s and your Expanium (of which I never heard until you weighed in on this list). My question is: do you do minidiscs at all? I assume you must because you're on this list. I can't, however, remember you talking about using MDs personally (though you seem to know enough about them to suggest that either you do or you have used them). If you have mentioned using MDs personally and I missed it,them I apologize. Absolutely no apologies necessary. The answer is yes. I own a Sharp MD-SR60 but I use it for one VERY specific purpose and that is for the recording of live music. In fact, I use it so extensively that I am considering the purchase of one of the "pro" recorders (either the HHB or the Marantz) because they include so many features of interest to the pro recordist (XLR inputs, high headroom mic preamp, built in limiter, digital inputs AND outputs, and so on). 2. If you are using MDs as well as your Expanium, then my second question is: do you find that you have uses for both, or do has the Expanium taken the place of MDs for you. Yes, as I hope the above comments made obvious. I use the MD recorder almost exclusive for live recording. And I use the Expanium for portable personal audio (CD and mp3 playback). 3. Have you listened to any classical music on either (especially orchestral stuff, though it's more common to find chamber music than orchestral on MP3s). Yes. And I have recorded a bit of classical music as well. Some has turned out well and some...well...ahem. I have to admit that your description of the Expanium intrigues mebut I can't afford more kit right now. That's ok. Save your duckies for the second generation CD/mp3 playback units that are just hitting the market now. The Rio Volt and the TDK Mojo are gonna be KILLER players (with id3 tag support and some other nifty features) and will cost significantly less. Also, just to weigh in on the previous debate. Yes, I have a computer. No, I cannot burn CDs (older computer not fast enough - can't afford / justify the cost to get a new one). Still, I think if we are going to debate this issue, that it must be granted that anyone considering using MP3s has the neccessary gear, and that it shouldn't be factored into the cost equation. Oh, I agree with that James. I just enjoy playing the Devil's Advocate. :-) Don C. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
