Not having anything to play vinyl sucks. :(

Salvation Army 25 cent vinyl! :)

Amazon market place is cheaper than that, BrianFreud. :p

but is the "big four" record labels imposing on the publics right to access to other material by other artists? are they imposing on the rights of other artists who want people to hear their music but cannot have it heard because of the restrictions put in place on radio stations, etc?

(second-hand cdsl)++

coop_studying: yes

coop: yes

I agree

:)

they put out so much fluff and crap, it floods the market

and *that* is definitely unethical

its no different than.. well see the recod shop i was at wedensday

they played this cd outlod

i go to hear it for free

technically I could have had my record player with me and taken the sound on tape (badd form, but still) it's still stored. as a cache in my head

as a result ofthat them letting me have a cachei n my head

interesting

i bought thecd, cause liked music

anyone in here who hasn't heard some track from some unknown band, wherever the file came from, and later bought the CD because of that track?

sure

everyone's done that

Indeed.

Machinae Supremacy. first heard on last.fm ProgRock

I bought 2 whole albums from (relativly unknown *here*) jpops

mini-moni

never heard of it

nice heh, I didn't like machinae supremacy.... so I didn't buy it

and then dl it

got but two releases

machinae supremacy puts oput there stuff for downlaod. nothing illegal there ;-)

this makes it so that people can 'try before they buy'

yeah

so that artists in the future will lactually have to do the *quality* thing to get sold

else people will dl, go 'no succkas' and not buy

it's like the sample booths in stores, except you're not limited to the 10 CDs, 9 of which the big 4 are paying to be in the booths

but why do you think people purchase cds at all if music is effectively free?

coop_studying: I only buy them for the audio quality, and to put them into mb. ;p

I want the CD physically, if its a good band ,i want to support them, because cd is better quality

and to put it in mb :o

well, when I say "buying cds", I mean however - emusic, itunes, cds, etc

quality, support, possibly artwork.. we like to have a "cd collection"

I buy cd's because I like cd's

exactly

lotsand lots of music

cd, vinyl.. etc

although, recently for me, I just rip and put the cds in th ebox

I don' do that yet

i tend to only buy physical cds anymore if either the band is so obscure/unknown that the cd is cheap and I can buy right from them, or if the booklet is so full of info, it's worth it.

MBChatLogger: off

is not logging

is logging

BrianFreud: not if you treatthem good

BrianFreud: Pfft, rip and put on the Pile. :p

3 of my metallica cds are scratched and cant be listened to

otherwise it goes digital and I listen to it that way

yeah, some cds I bought 5 or 6 times... got tired of that

Heh. :/

CD turns 25 these days

I wont do that... ill frigging download it cuz I purchased a lisence for the music

what are you guys *doing* to your cd's?!

catgroove: all it takes is one little scratch through the reflective stuff and your cd is f-ed

CD sitting in my car, in a stack of 5 or 10, they rub together and scratch...

the one was a used one so I got new, the second was me trowing it really hard on the ground (:P) bot thimes they completely broke

(liek shatterd)

frisbee!

BrianFreud CD sitting in my car, in a stack of 5 or 10, they rub together and scratch... <-- blasfemy :o

contrary to popular belief the scratches on the bottom are a lot less harmful than scratches on the printed side

dude

. o O ( did you ever microwaved a CD? ;-)

oh agreed

but when they go in player and skip all over, it's more than just "it looks scratched"

well I once bought a release, and itwas borked inside

(like after I took of the plastic and put it in the player)

but since I had a stack of unlistened too it was old (maye 2-3 months since I bought it)

so I couldn't very well go back with 'itwas broken from scratch'

had no recet either

I like digital too, cause I can do to it what I want.

why do you want to abuse yourmusic?

;_;

you s&m musican you!

Don't have to switch CDs in the player, just hit enter on a different file. If I can get better metadata, I can add it.

k back to work for me, if you stumble on any good links regarding ethics of downloading music please email me cooperaa at gmail dot com

CD... it's locked in

locked in?

just replace it

no, I mean, can't write metadata to the CD

erh

I had tons of CDs at one point. They all went digital, now they're either tossed or in a box somewhere

god gawd

and I don't miss them :D

someone call 911!

you ucd abuse you!

:P

which CD is that?

herregud

I told you 3 times yesterday

lol, I have no memory, you know that! :D

Icky Thump, their new

what i've been talking off all lthis time

oh. was confused - thought that was just a single, not a album too :)

dust :P

BrianFreud-- #spelling

(The White Stripes - Conquest)++

mirc-- #for making me use funky things and not working for unicode notes!

hehe brianfreud

I was stuggling with that as well

but lo and behold

AMPstat ♪ [Cypress Hill - Till Death Do Us Part (2004-03-23) - 4/16. Ganja Bus (feat. Damian Marley)] 32% of 3m42s ♪

/echo $decode(#XIFJ````)

mirc-- #just generally

to get the note

just put that in whatever music spamming script you are using, possibly enclosing the rest of the string in $utfencode() to get the whole thing to be one big uft8 line

and you should be good to go

erh what does /echo so?

it.. echoes

I only see text and not my name

$decode(#XIFJ````)

I typed /echo loltest

forget about /echo

it just writes locally

for testing etc

hmmm, I added it, now I get "Identifier locked in options dialog: $decode"

ok

not sending the text to server

alt-o -> lock -> remove check in decode

in the disable commands section

getting a drink brb

so technically I'm decoding uuencoding on the fly to get mIRC to type unicode? /me slaps mIRC bigtime

well yes but you have to admit it is a really small addition to a script to work around it until mIRC gets it's shit together
