I just bought this yesterday without knowing about the CODE dvd. It's
the first JM album I've bought since The Lonesome Jubilee so was very
pleased to find the 24/96 wavs on the DVD.
I just copied them in, converted them to 24/96 flacs on off it goes.
It's a lovely organic sound typical of T Bon

New music is based on the date modified. If you have albums with date

I downloaded the hires file from MG in WMA with no DRM and it sounds
quite good. I don't of course have the CD version to compare. One
strange thing I noticed is that it does not show up in my new music
folder. It does show up under the artist, with artwork, which is
unusual for MG. Can anyone spe

Yes, it's really quite lovely. It's a suspension bridge with large
support beams, cantilevered trusses and extra large arches thus
allowing the bridge to be lifted like a draw bridge or rotated

Wow, this is one of the greatest features of this new format -- no need

I personally think Mellencamp is a great choice for something like this.
He sells a lot of records, and has a history of releasing
well-engineered recordings - despite the loudness race etc. In
addition, a small but significant portion of his audience (at this
stage in his career) might actually

I love this line! I've used the analogy of a recording being a

extend it to include MP3!

On the face of it I'd agree with you, but I'm guessing what he meant was

FWIW, the audio track in a DVD has to be one of: PCM, Dolby Digital, or
DTS. The latter are lossy compression techniques. PCM is uncompressed,
and is what is used here.
When I ripped the DVD audio tracks, I ended up wit

Hey, give us some time! Personally I had heard nothing about this

Integrating MusicIP with SqueezeCenter.
I might add, the album is IMHO actually pretty good. The first
Mellencamp album in a long line of albums since Human Wheels & Mr Happy
Go Lucky I care to listen to again.
