[ About the two areas that you mentioned, Michael, files found on [ Kazaa (or other file sharing systems) which are in average quality [ and then encoded to higher quality (OGG then), where should they [ be put? Nowhere :-) If you find files in average quality, please do not encode them again at a higher rate - this does not improve the quality. Once the file is created at average quality, you cannot regain higher quality without going back to the original. If we keep good notes on the source for the files, then people can choose between different quality levels for the same song, depending upon how much time they have for download. In other words, if you do have access to the original song, there's no need to delete the average quality version from the ftp server because some folks may not have the bandwidth to download the higher quality version. Of course, this must be handled within reason, because the disk space on the server won't be infinite. [ Files found on Kazaa are mostly at 128 kbps or higher, but there [ are always exeptions. The Resistor live (which I found on Kazaa) [ was at 128-256 kbps and many other rare tracks have very good [ sound. Yes. These encodings offer good sound. We'll take what we can get. Please don't try to improve the quality, though, unless you have the original CD or LP, or an uncompressed file. P.S. I've been looking into "shorten" which cuts the size of a full CD quality file in half without losing *any* quality. See etree.org for Windows, Mac, and Unix versions of the encoder and various players. Realistically, we may not have enough room for many of these, but it is worth considering. My search of the internet shows that this format is rated very highly. Brian Willoughby Sound Consulting

>How does that sound to everyone? Totally over the top? Well, it's how I >store my own collection! I think that order and information is a must for the FTP server. I'm a quite "tidy" (or whatever you mail call it) person myself, so I think that's important.

666 and Yello
by The Warlock 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Hi all! I suppose some of you have heard about the techno-group 666. I listened a song by them kalled Mueve. In that song the vocalist sings Claro Que Si over and over (together with something else in italian or spanish). Isn't Claro Que Si words in spanish or italian? Although it's bad that they have taken this from Yello, Yello should take it as a compliment, since other bands want to use parts their great music ;-). Any news on the FTP server? Chris
