Also, you know those ads for the old-school iPod that say "40,000" songs?
TOTAL BULLSHIT.
I don't even have 40,000 on my music HD right now (a couple hundred short, and you all are encouraged to donate gift cards and such to put me over the top) and I am unable to put all of it on my iPod Classic and I am nigh-inconsolable about it. WAAAAAA. that I cannot carry every song I own on my person available at every moment. IT AM TRAGIC.
I will, but it's late and everyone just went to sleep.

Possible, but you have to compress to the point where they sound like shit. Not a problem for, say, Rush, but a crime against art for someone like Bowie.

ReplyDeleteMetallica's "The Number of the Beast" compressed 666 times is where on that spectrum?
I'll be curious to see if anyone clicks on your links. I'm pretty sure no one has clicked on link one of my musical musings.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I will click when I have time, cuz unlike most people-- who suck--I'm genuinely curious about what people listen to. And there's always a teensy chance I'll find something new to like...

ReplyDeletefat chance. Mostly people come by here to call me names.
I clicked on the link for Bubba. He'd like that, but I think he is spelunking in a giant ass or something.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the link for Bubba.
ReplyDeleteyes, I was happy to realize that the Cookie Monster was still getting work.
I've actually done a study. And the maximum number of songs that can be engaged with anything approximating focus is 2477. Yep.
ReplyDeleteSo What we really need is a whole BUNCH of 4 GB ipods to manage our collection in some kind of series of 2500 song chunckages.
I have no playlist.
And I must ROCK!
