Re: [Orb] OT slightly mp3 shortening

Thats the thing about mp3 they are an inherently "lossy" compression scheme, each time you reencode them they lose fidelity and less true to the source from which they originated. Another thing that sucks about mp3 is that the format includes something like .25 seconds of silence at the track breaks so when you are listening to a show you get those annoying hiccups between songs. If I were you I would look into the more stable compression formats that are out there such as SHN and FLAC. . . >From: "Alan" <alanevil(a)bellsouth.net> >Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were >young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com>,<fsollist(a)yage.net> >Subject: [Orb] OT slightly mp3 shortening >Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 21:21:27 -0400 > >Have any of you run into the problem of finding your mp3s to be chopped off >at the end.

decoding tea
by P J Kane 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

here's another technical question for the team: suppose i really like one of the TeaTime sets and want to burn it to CD so that i can listen to it as i take a walk. Nero tells me it cannot open the RAM files. is there a way i can convert the RAM to MP3, which i know that Nero can handle, or should i go about this in a different way? any advice? PJK please don't hate me because i can't type..... --- All the cool kids are doing it: HTTP://www.EvilSponge.org

I've got a big stack of cd-r's of Cage's piece sitting in my kitchen... at least they act like that when you try to play them. They're in my kitchen because... well... I'm not sure why they're in that particular place but that's where they go before I make windmills out of them. They're very pretty looking when they spin in the sun... www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years.

you truly are the stupidest mother fucker i've ever come across in my entire life. "mindless dribble"? "pervade and puke forth"? fact is this list would be MUCH better without the last 207 consecutive posts from you about your shoddy FTP server (check the archive.) not ONE post from you has ever been of ANY value whatsoever. not one. oh how many times you've set me up, telling us all that you're leaving forever, only to come back a few days later with more rambling about this ftp server. what really gets me is how patient and understanding everyone else is of your apparant stupidity. and your ftp server? gimme a break. i've been there. what shit. what utter shit. you couldn't ftp server your way out of a paper bag. what's really too bad is that you're not real enough an orb fan to actually go to a show, so that way i could hop on the first plane out there and kick your sorry ass. i DARE you to post one message that has NOTHING to do with your FTP server or anything to do with getting material for it. come on, just one? pleeeeaaaaase? get out your thesaurus. oh how i wish i had the tolerance to just keep my mouth shut... Original Message ----------------------- I mean, who made you the fucking list police, this list operated much smoother before you got on it or back on it. This list has been in total chaos. I know I bitch sometimes, but never just mindless dribble that you pervade and puke forth.
