I'm talking about sharing and you're talking about quality.
Maybe you haven't noticed, but iPods and other MP3 players with ear buds are not hi fidelity devices.
I doubt *most* file sharers listening to the latest Pop/Rock/Rap tripe know the difference between a 96kbs rip, a 256kbs rip or a VBRate rip.
And do you think most kids using whatever it is they use these days to *share* music really know how many hundreds or hundreds of thousands of people may be involved or even know that they are sharing at all?
And yes, I had the crap quality tape or 2 in my day, But I'd rather listen to a tape hissing Zeppelin II than not listen to it at all at the time, again, back in the day I was not an audiophile, I was a dumb kid with a Dodge Dart with factory in the door speakers and a $40 after market cassette player.
I remember that high-speed copy dub button. I felt like such a pirate having that highspeedcopy button! It was the reason I bought a dual-cassette-deck...
I hope that was a joke that whooshed over my head. But the legality of what I was doing when I was 16 never even entered my mind, let alone being a "pirate". Probably much like today's young file sharers.
When I was a young whipper snapper in the 70's-80's. I'd buy an album and copy it to tape for my car. If asked by a friend for a copy, I'd take a blank cassette tape and make a copy in my cassette recorder with the high speed dub feature.
I'd also ask friends the same, and they'd make me a tape of an album I didn't have.
I'd also buy cassette tapes of music at the store.
Now my 69 Dodge Dart back then is carting around 150-200 cassette tapes, some my own made copies, some a friend made copies for me and other store bought tapes.
The music industry and RIAA seemed to live through that era. If one friend bought an album, all his friends would get a cassette copy if they wanted it.
I don't ever recall the cops ever asking me if I got pulled over for speeding or something..."BTW son, Do you have a license for all those home recorded cassette tapes back there."
Seriously, what are the RIAA trying to prove here. I just can't wrap my head around all this frivolous suing.
This is about 10-15 miles from my home in Arcadia, FL.
Most of the Babcock Ranch is swamp land, nature preserve (They do tours there, alligators, FL. panthers, etc..). I am guessing that is why the requirement for Solar power there, as there was a lot of stink locally when it was sold about what they would actually be allowed to do with the land. I look forward to moving there (if I can afford it!)
The have a lot of songs that would be no fun in Rockband (except for maybe singers)
But they also have a lot of songs that would be awesome in Rockband.
Off the top of my head I'd like to see

Anyone have an IP for the Rockband servers I could do a traceroute on?
