rayzray Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 This is exactly why I'm gonna start hoarding media and move my portable music listening back to the 80 minute MDs, MDLP at most. Yes, you have to record in real time, but the act of getting new music is much easier now than it was before - a few clicks and it's downloaded. My point is that the music experience is getting too easy, and there is too much choice. It may sound crazy, but since I started using MP3 players my appreciation for music has gone way down, to the point where I preferred listening to the sounds of the street rather than my own music. 20 gigs on an ipod and it was a pain in the arse just deciding WHAT to choose to listen to! Too much choice.Now when I burn an MD, I'm waiting excitedly like a little child for it to finish, and when I finally get to listen it's very rewarding, and I appreciate the music more and get a lot more out of it (MD forces you to listen to the same things more often, too!)Music is not about how many songs you can fit in your pocket. It's about how much you get out of each song. MDs have soul, and it shows.PS. I'm listening to Mew now - "and the glass handed kites". It's a little progressive and demands all of your attention. Gotta listen more before judging..sorry it took so song to reply - like i can only get on MDCF on one of my 4 PC's - and it's always busy doing jrojects -!!>>!!i just FINISHED that project a few minutes ago - lol - i would say WAY over 20 ours !! but it is fruitful - i am getting about 80 songs i didn't have - all house-techno and trance - i am in seventh heaven - and the "Work" involved like you said makes it that more FUNNER and more funner- well - i will cherish these songs forever - and play them on my Zune over and over - well - until the "Next Project" !!

rayzray Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 listening ti all my remxes i made and put into my ZUne - this is funner than "Normal" music -was listening to my Hi-MD900#1 before - though - and still love it - but - i NEVER change the disc in it and sometimes i NEED a variety -The Zune gives me variety - as long as i stay off Zune Marketplace which aggravates me to no end - You Tube is my main source of music now - and will go "Fishing" for more tonight when the Moon cones up -i am especially enjoying my remix of Prince's "No News is Good News" - where i took out ALL the Vocals and ended up with this GREAT instrumental piece of art - but some ppl may think of it as nothing -that's why i live my life laughing at the world and it's sillyness - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately theres been a bit of Michael Buble, Pavarotti, John Legend, Chris Isaak and Van Morrison. In my iRiver at the moment I've been into Breaking Benjamins current album which I'm quite enjoying.

sfbp Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Beethoven Cello Sonata #3 in A major Op. 69, played by Paul Tortelier and Eric Heidsieck. Recorded to JE-630 (at SP) from the original 1972 LPs, uploaded to PC from MZ-RH1. Noise-reduced the resultant wavefiles using CoolEdit, deleted the .oma's and re-imported to SonicStage as .wav files.Burned to CD using SonicStage, just to see if it works (usually I use Nero), along with some much lower quality chamber music from SS (Violin sonatas and a piano sonata, some originally recorded at LP2 some at LP4 off the internet), to fill out a second CD.Copied using MXD-D400 to 74 minute JVC at LP2. Deleted the low quality music and re-burned to the MD directly from SonicStage without conversion. (the LP4 sounded awful upconverted to LP2 by the CD->MD process).The result is absolutely perfect. I cannot believe how well this technology improves old recordings!This recording is pretty much a reference for this music. Tortelier even did the whole lot on TV which I remember being fascinated by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Siroe, Prince of Persia - Italian Opera (1728) by George Friderick Handel. This was the last opera but one before Handel was forced temporarily out of the Opera business by The Beggar's Opera by John Gay. The latter is acknowledged to be represent the re-birth of English opera, dormant since Purcell a century earlier. Coincidentally, Handel was the director of the Royal Academy of Music, which essentially went bankrupt that year. So he had a pretty rough time. Siroe only ran for a few weeks.This recording was off the BBC website - here are the details: http://www.handelhouse.org/handel2009/siroeIt sounds great in my car on my new Sony deck driving the MDX-66XLP changer.

sfbp Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sunday night's Henry Wood Promenade concert from London's Albert Hall. Handel wrote some 42 operas in his lifetime, roughly 1 per year over an extended period. This one is called Partenope, and has an amazing plot where the Princess Rosmira, disguised as a man, is challenged to a (bare-chested) duel with her former lover. Handel got a bit desperate after Beggar's Opera, and had to resort to shock tactics to try to get the public back in his theatre.I am posting the last 10 minutes as an ATRAC3 (LP4) file for anyone interested. I'm sure it needs to be removed at some point, but a snippet like this can hardly excite anyone's ire, especially in a nonstandard compressed format like this.I hope you will agree with me, even those who wouldn't consider listening to Italian opera in this lifetime, that this is a totally remarkable 10 minutes of listening. Especially since there are about 5500 people present (and totally silent throughout), the majority of them having been standing for the previous 4 hours.Extract from PartenopeYou will need to change the extension to .OMA when you save this, it is NOT a valid ZIP file. However somewhat to my surprise it played perfectly in Windows Media Player (probably something I did following Avrin's directions to enable Atrac3 codec), and for you it will play in Sonic Stage.
