    Hear, hear!

    2 things, however, both relating to distribution; Corus Ent. / CIear ChanneI controls the airwaves that the majority of my potential fans use to find new music. If I go through CDBaby and have a killer site, list, etc. and tour a ton (as I have done in the past, except for CDbaby) I still don't have a possibility of using that 'method of distribution' to a broad radio audience.
    Physical distribution? Well, trying to find any amount of indie music _that is being promoted_ at HMV, Music World, etc. is impossible. The money just isn't there to fund the cross-country and international marketing. I personally hate the marketing end of it, but it is necessary.
    Any feedback would be welcome. Really hoping that someone's going to take care of this soon and I want to be involved to whatever extent I can help.

    Weak materials, such as adobe['s]; poor mortar; low standards of workmanship; weak horizontally.

    Heh. it's called 'Print-to-PDF' and it's for Classic mode or OS 9 only. Under OS X just choose File->Print and then choose 'Save as PDF..' instead of printing.

    That's for any app in OS X. Instant multipage PDFs from any program that can print.

    Probably some voice recognition and/or spoken user interface, a la Apple's. It takes a lot of crunching to understand an 'average' voice without any training.

    Piracy is selling the games/movies/music that you download. Selling. Not just downloading.

    So sick of seeing 'piracy' everywhere, as if it actually applies to what is being discussed.

    What version of Windows doesn't work with QuickTime? It's a free download from apple.com/quicktime.

    Or did a service pack from MS break the latest QuickTime Player app? Really, what are you talking about, saying "QuickTime won't run on Windows?"

  17. FUD. Stop. Stop FUD. Stop. on World's First 1GB Web Mail May Not Be From Google · · Score: 1

    The information you fill out on Spymac is only a total of around 15 fields over 2 pages. Don't know where you got this 'six pages' thing..
    You only need to fill out the other parts of the profile if you are planning on paying for the hosting service or selling in the auctions.

    The account activation only takes 2 weeks because all you non-Mac users came and shat on the servers. Activation was immediate before the 1 GB email was announced,

    As far as things not working, check the forums, they're working on it. It's a community site, where people actually want to build something everyone can enjoy. The admins are working on it, upgrading the system and the servers. This will take some time. We can have patience, why can't you? It's not like it's your main email account all of a sudden.

    If you had any understanding of the process, you would get that going AAC->MP3 does cause a quality loss

    Of course it does.
    ..but going back to AAC should provide no loss, as it would choose the same frequencies. He didn't say she was ripping back to MP3. I rip most of my CDs in AAC (.m4a, .mp4) and would expect (as aac is not vbr afaik) the same sound if I went aac->aif->aac.

    Silly discussion for anyone caring about their sound, the purchased songs are too low of a bitrate for my speakers.

    And geeks with "rebel" in them are fooling noone but themselves

    interesting. open question.. does it have to be the extreme?

    rebel or sheep?

    I think it does. grandparent is closer to torvalds/jobs (rebel), parent seems to be closer to a closed-minded office drone (sheep).

    Me, I like the ones who get stuff done in a new way. Not by rehashing others' ideas a la Gates, but those who truly pull something out of their *ss and make it shine.
