Yes, it depends greatly what speakers you use. If you only listen to compressed files through your little laptop speakers they will sound like ass. A good quality mp3 or AAC file or even ogg file can sound fantastic on a good set of speakers with a sub-woofer. It's all relative dude. How perfect does it have to be. Yello sounds different in my car, on my home stereo, on my computer, on headphones, on a portable music player. Sounds different but always great!

But if the format is closed, possibly encrypted, will no money help. Most people find out these problems only when they cannot anymore access their data. Too late. BTW, the file JingleBellsH.263m.mov shows ok in Linux but without audio. I may just have too old Xine player. Initial comment in xine-user list indicates that both H.263 and H.264 are supported (with open source software).

One of these things just doesn't belong. Try to tell which is not like the other before I finish my song! .....la-la-la Check out eBay item 4736200876 if link below doesn't work. It made me laugh. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&category=1598&item=4736200876&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

QuickTime 7 for Windows!
by Jon Kamm 12 Jun '05

Organism, Sorry I thought you were a Windows man. What are you using? You must not of been able to open the QuickTime 7 clip at all. To better help you form an opinion here is a sample of the picture quality difference. H.264 is on the left. http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/H.264Sample.jpg You were able to play QT6 so I am sure in the future QT7 will be available to you as well. There is a Pro version that allows you to create your own QuickTime movies and gives you total control over the content. ,Jonathan

Greg, This is the only known photo of "The Organism" he sent it to me to post on the World Y'd page. I did not doctor it in any way. A picture speaks a thousand words ..............

Hi Jon Thanks for all the postings this past week. I've enjoyed them, including the remix of Rhythm Divine by your friend. It kind of reminded me of the Muzicizzum (sp?) track - I Want You Back. Similar tempo in the drums in places, anyhow.

Hello all, I've been on the Yello list for just over ten years now, and very rarely post, preferring to read about news of new albums, etc. I am coming out of lurking to request organism, or gcr whatever, that you kindly shut the fuck up. Seriously, just give it a rest. I'd rather read spam about mortgage refinancing and penis pills. Less talk, more rock. davy ----- Original Message ----- From: organism(a)hydrophilus.com To: yello(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Yello] our poser jonkammbot Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 15:18:06 -0700 > > Klonk Thu, 9 Jun 2005 11:13:00 -0500 veschprigt mroktar Jon Kamm > <kammagic(a)comcast.net> [re: [Yello] Our friend Organism]: > > > Organism, > Again, I go by "gcr", not "Organism". > > > So what have you been working on for the list?
