Hi all, I rip most of my CD's I get onto ogg 192 kbits, and I have no worries with quality. HOWEVER, I sample via my KORG Triton at the same via Winage, and I get MUCH better sounding quality *all optic leads*, whats the input/playback level via the midi triton on both NT and ME then?
The site gives no figures, but there is a shite load of fall off on the NT box, or so it appears/sounds!
I use real jukebox, although I can't explain how it got onto the computer *probably bundled with something else*, it plays and encodes all my music at the quality taco mentions.
Its cool too, unless i am missing something, it goes to CDDB and gets the track detail, even on obscure things like 'beta band' old EP's.
On a diff note i would recommend the beta band to all you yanks!
Is this available for linux? Any 1 have any reasons why I shouldnt use REAL jukebox?
On a diff note, why wasn't winamp made for linux first? The reasons why would tell you linux/unix devotees why you never get 'cool' software first!
Very impressive remaking of an old classic, looks promising.
I think there would be a huge double edged market for old titles remade to fit with todays tech.
Imagine bards tale, phantasm, saboteur with new engines e.t.c, the developers would get both us set of old geeks wanting to play (I can still remember my way around the town in bards tale 1, but not it's name! That was AGES ago.) and new people who think its a crash hot title.
I reckon there would be a lot more interest in the RPG side of things than in the remakes of space invaders (virgin?) and Frogger (activision) we have seen recently.
If anyone is else is planning or doing something like this for another rpg system i.e bards tale, moonstone knights then let me know and I will help out.
I have seen something like this at work sifting grains into piles of type.
This idea looks cool and it's applications look immense.
When I have seen them sorting alu cans from glass, it is usually done with a magnet, the complexities of sorting dusts and grains is much more impressive a feat IMHO.

It's about time that one of our nations took the lead to arrange all space exploration jointly, making sure that it will be a level playing field for the the future!

I saw the ads over here placed by big retailers in the UK months ago, offering to reserve a PS2. They are going to be in short supply, and you can bet that there will be manic rushes to get a machine in the run up to christmas.
What remains to be seen is the effects releasing a box of this power will have on current and future competitors home entertainment products, it plays DVD's, ps1 games and music CD's.
I'm not usually a console fan but I'll be having one of these when the fuss dies down!
Recently, we are seeing the start of the new technology revolution, perhaps controlled by some of the largest corporations nations the world has ever seen. Web TV has been researched as late back as Q1 98, let's take a look at what it does and what it connects to: Displays web content on PAL TV hardware (UK Ver) Parallel printer port (ECP protocol, Hewlett Packard, Centronics) IR PSTN / Ethernet telecomms connection Now consider the format of most shows on TV, on say ITV or channel 4, when a show ends, the screen quite often splits vertically to show a sponsors ad, or a trailer for the next show. Then take a look at the format of programs on the new digital, interactive services from Sky. Notice how the screen could almost be made up of HTML framed pages? Television content is preparing standards for the next generation of programming, or media saturance. Shows on the television will soon resemble your most visited websites, they could even be website programming video casts, and if they follow the formats of the existing programming then this would almost be transparent to the viewer. Imagine the following scenario on the Sky networks sporting channel: You turn the Manchester United, Leeds game on, using the service you can concentrate on the player David beckham. This changes your options and offers you the chance to buy player related merchandising. You click the buy button on the remote, and then enter your ordering details. This step is more of confirmation as Sky already know your details through the STB, Pay per view. Multiple buyers at the same address could be identified using cookie or token technology. The printer you have attached to your web tv box then prints an invoice. The next morning you notice a delivery confirmation receipt telling you your shirt will be there tomorrow. Is this the future? If it is, then it allows us to view the thinking behind the "big picture" of this whole potential mess. The set up is obviously aimed at "Essex Man", and the arrangement allows content suppliers to limit or control viewable content. Profiles of users viewing habits (both Terrestrial / Satellite TV and Web content) would be created and used to manage credit issues and ad targeting. It also provides a place at the table for non technology media organisations to dictate and mould the future progression of the Internet. Enough ranting, let's look at the benefits of such a set up. You will be able to print brochures, menu's or recipes off the set. You can be assured that your viewing schedule is being influenced by your tastes You'll no doubt get lot's more lovely junk mail, both physical from the set and from the network, again molded to your taste, and also spewing out of your printer to greet you in the morning. This I think is the future of such development, and I for one welcome you one and all to McDonald's world.

It'll be interesting to see how they spin this, and how the public responds.
I think the disc will spin just fine in some kind of playback device, and the public, well they will probably dance and sing along.

Sid Meier has consistently produced genre defining games, and experimented with sequels for many of his projects (populous, civ).
His dev team at lionhead studios created another first, creatures.
I don't think they should keep pumping civilisation, move on to something new.

I had this, until i clicked the player, not the tracks.

Whats in a name?
The reason why its called winamp is that the code was deved for windows, if you recreate in yourself for linux, feel free to call it linamp.
I use real jukebox, although I can't explain how it got onto the computer *probably bundled with something else*, it plays and encodes all my music at the quality taco mentions.

It would appear that the english language is also fallible in the wrong hands :)
