Accessible recording gear
Hello, My name is Mike Edwards, and I'm sure this topic has been beaten to a bloody pulp, but I'm new to the list, so please, bear with me. I want to have a recording studio, and I'm wondering which recording software is most accessible. I have a little four-tracking experience, but am basically a beginner. Feel free to communicate off list if this topic has already made the rounds for discussion too menny times. Thank you.

I was a little disappointed to learn that the Squeezebox app for Sportify will only work on Squeezebox Touch and Radio models, I only have a Squeezebox Boom! but not to worry, interested to hear from others about this.

Re: Help needed with last.fm
I've never gotten it to work with winamp, just use flash, but I haven't tried for 3 or so years.

In both situations, pick upto either 3 tags, or 3 artists of any style, and it will create a station. I use the old winamp scrobbler and scrobble stuff to last.fm, so it has a good idea of my musical tastes. After a few songs, you can have it play your recommended station. If you'e using firefox, there are shortcut keys for next song, bann song, love song, pause, and resume. I've never gotten these keys to work in internet explorer. If one makes different friends, one can listen to a single friend's station, or reciently played tracks by all friends. The bad news is, no way to change the volume to my knowledge in the web site. The only links I've found are mute, or full volume.

If I want to listen to some classic rock, I might create a station for Queen, and I'll hear Queen plus music from related bands.

I did a search for a psychedelic trance artist that I like a lot, and when I clicked on that artist, it came back with what it calls the name of that artist radio, where it will play that artist and similar artists. It actually gave me a list of those similar artists that it would play, and I tried it out. It did not play just stuff from the original artist I clicked on. I think it did a very good job of picking similar artists to the one I like. (Now if I could only find how to adjust the volume.) If you haven't, try doing a search for a specific metal band and see what happens. I think you should have a similar experience to what I had. If not, then I'll se what happens when I try it.
