ps somebody needs to tell piccadilly that their soundclips
are ridiculously low-fi and crappi. are they trying to
accomodate 10 year old modems or something?
I discussed this with them a couple of years back - not because I find it an
issue so much [as being local I can just use the clips

Sorry for yet another OT contribution.
I'm in Madrid visitng a friend for the 21-25, and I'm wondering if there's
anything good on. Had a glance at www.clubbingspain.com and saw Reinhard
Voigt and Jan Jelinek are around. Wondering if there's anything else I
should know about, particularly
The thing which annoys me is that the clips are so short! How can you
tell what something is like from 30 seconds?
I rely on the clips quite a bit now as I rarely get to go into town any
more and find hearing new music difficult.
Anyway, great service from their mail order apart from that.
it's a RIAA/BPI thing, any longer and technically they're in breach of
licensing or something.
rediculous i know.

You sure? I'd like to see that. I would think any sample in excess of
say, 3 seconds would be unauthorised unless there are explicit
differneces set out for record shops.
Meanwhile, anyone know how most other online shops get away with longer
samples?

They can mix in street noise, conversations, and other tracks in the
background to mimic shopping at a brick and mortar store.

How about the sound of slightly muffled uplifting trance at +24 volume?
Just enough to bleed through the headphone cup so that it interferes with
what you're trying to buy. Then it would be just like shopping here.

Thing is, I can't think of many other sites that actually stick to a 30
second limit, otherwise I would just assume Juno don't care.
I might have it wrong then. I hope so, I don't like short clips either.
last.fm have in their FAQ that their licenses only allow them to play

Oh man, at least I tend to shop when it's either hard pounding
schranz or nasty evil breakcore.

Yep it was me and that's how it is. You can verify this if you can find a
clip of something from way back by searching Piccadilly's site as their
clips used to be (and still are for those older tracks) between 1min and 2
mins long (depended on how much they liked something).
Then the BPI

it's more the appalling quality of the clips at piccadilly that struck me then
their short length (clone only has 30 second samples as well...)
they are extrmely lowfi...like made for streaming with no prebuffering on a
bad 56kbps modem...125kb for a 30 second file is just silly...you could
I discussed this issue with the head of the MCPS in Scotland a year
or so ago- the basic deal is that they treat audio clips on websites
to be essentially a fund raising exercise, ie you are trying to sell
something (duh!) in the same way a radio station is trying to sell
