HAHAHA, Degree... ya for you normals. but I hire peeps and I give them a test. If they pass they are in. Most DEGREEDED peeps don't pass...... WE are hard core. and most of the DEGREEDED peeps want a work week. Vacation? what is that? Money in the bank....
I used to dj, we would receive pre-release/promo discs from the record companies, and services would provide compilation discs that we and the radio stations would receive (how'd ya think they played the songs before the album was released?). I wonder if these discs are going to be degraded/protected somehow? I'd hate to be spinning and have a spike/pop come through with 2400 watts (true rms by multiple crown amps) a channel cranked! I'd be pissed, never mind the reaction of the crowd! Then again, a lot of the good stuff (not mainstream!) still comes out on 12"...with a good pickup and proper pre-amp, will blow away the cd version any day!
Today, I mostly stream. Background as I code. I don't like the quality so I keep it low, 128k sounds bad to me, vbr at cd quality is better. mp3pro at the highest quality sounds good, but try finding anything but your pc to play it on...
