Instant Live Concert Recordings
WebGangsta writes "The AP is reporting that there's a new device out that allows you to record a concert... legally. It works because it's run by the venue, direct from the mixing board. After the show, concert-goers visit an on-site kiosk and purchase a 128MB keydrive (which may or may not be proprietary to the system). Then they swipe their credit card again to download the concert they just attended to the keydrive. The MP3 can then be shared with whoever they'd like (no restrictions on copying the show to friends)." We've had some previous stories about a different system with CD-R's available after the show.

Good news for all the Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake fans! You can now own a CD copy of the concert you have just seen!
Trick is its the CD that you already own that the artists have just spent the last 74 minutes miming to.
Norman Cook's Ode to Sl
While we're being elitist technophiles, let me just say that digital recording is crap. Everybody knows that the Music Fairy lives inside the 97khz frequency, and "CD quality" digital recordings cut off anything above about 22khz, thereby killing the Music Fairy. Without the Music Fairy around to sprinkle it's magical Pixie Dust on the track, the music is practically unlistenable and totally unacceptable.
