or someone on warp leaked.... |

|
|

It's not proxy server friendly either :( |

I love this little snippet in the faq: Finally, buying music through Bleep means that you are supporting the artists work, and in some cases you are getting mp3’s encoded by the artists themselves. WOW!! DOUBLEPLUSGOOD!! ha. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
according to the faq they use the LAME -alt-preset standard? VBR setting and all mp3s are a minimum of 256kbps. but im still going to get all my music as CD |

That site is awful, that pecan ice cream color is nasty, and that green for the font is nasty and the tiny ass buttons, and the whole thing looks like it was put together all hodgepodge like, ugh. But hey, as long as it works! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the play function is nice - how they show the track's waveform loading instead of just a progressbar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's wikid cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds like someone we know!! ;) see squarewindow thread (much appreciated) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed. they're using flash so they're play function is pretty flexible. nice job on the site!... could've done better on the price though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha.. that's what I was talking about. Doing it on SP previews aren't as cheap though.. you can't pay for those yet. I just hope Warp won't remove this excellent song preview function due to rips like these.. I've been listening to new stuff at Bleep for the last two hours, and already bought a shitload of old tracks. |

bar sp, i can get all these at better quality on file sharing programs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely flac copies of a ripped hab will be better quality than any quality mp3? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
flac is lossless, so if their source is digital (like dat), it should be bit-identical with the original recording (they mention the possibility of 24-bit flacs). 16-bit, 44.1 khz flacs are identical to cd quality. their mp3's sound very good though. should be more than good enough if you're not an "audiophile" nutter. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
bleep rocks!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but mp3s for every warp release are already available all over the place. and if you're that bothered about quality you'd probably own the release anyway. i don't think they're offering anything new. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly. only thing I would be slightly interested in is radiomix by ae. but it's not there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
- you don't have to search high and low - you don't have to wait for ages when the only guy on slsk which has it is on modem - it's not encoded with fucked up low quality mp3 encoders - you don't have to be a fucking cheap bastard it's all good.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
has anyone bought any? if so, are the downloads immediate? is there any wait for credit card clearance? or paypal transfer? if not, they could get ripped off real bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When the money is coming in i'm there!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the fucking cheap bastard thing - I buy each and every cd/record I like, if possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's immediate, no waiting necessary |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used it today. Downloaded stright away. No messing. Download was fast (I'm on cable). Payed using my credit card, as soon as I logged in it remembered my details from the Warp site. Encoded at 202kbps (VBR) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder why you can't download the track "eggshell" on Incunabula.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fucking wicked!! jesuz christo - - Very impressed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd imagine it's a licensing issue. That track may belong to the record label that ae were on before warp (sorry, can't be arsed digging out my artificial intelligence to check). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tvt or waxtrax! i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tvt yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They do state in the news that some tracks are not available due to contracts/licensing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't forget that that's an average for the whole MP3. It's a Variable Bit Rate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some of the releases are restored from master tapes or dats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a fixin to buy the HAB releases, which I had never heard before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FUCK! well looks like i'll be the first to say i have the first FUCKED mp3. wabby legs off HAB has this SHARP ass screech at 12 seconds. i got HAB 1 and 2, and so far 2 sounds better than the mp3's i recorded off my own vinyl, 1 doesnt sound anywhere near as good AND i got a fucked up mp3. way to go WARP! now lets see if i can get them to do something for me... Hey THXFA your wabby legs mp3 isnt fucked up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hab1+2 256kbs mp3 encoded from the dats. sounds delicious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i could believe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhh so does HAB sound bad or not? more opinions please before i spend the money would be helpful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait...what the hell? well i play it in my phatnoise music manager i get the screech. but when i play it in itunes, no screech. fucking weird. oh well. guess i'm all good then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hab 1 is not bad. it doesnt sound very good either. hab 2 rocks. my personal rips of hab1 sound 10x better than bleeps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In what way do they sound better? Have you Eq'd them or done somthing else to them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your rips I mean.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No i did a straight rip off of vinyl through audacity. no special gizmo's or anything of the sort. only thing is you hear slight record pop obviously. although like i said, EP2 came out alot better than the ones i recorded. lots clearer. the bleep habs are really quiet, and almost muffled. no other way to describe them really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bleeps hab 1 that is(muffled)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a bit shit then! I haven't heard any bleep mp3s yet, I might check one out now..... cheers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you ever thought that the original recordings might be muffled and distorted?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never said distorted. quiet and muffled. and if that is how the original sounds, warp needs to get on ebay like everyone else and plop down 100 bucks. i'm telling you, mine HAB1 sounds fucking 10x better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HA! warp buying one of their own records on ebay to rip and sell mp3's! theyd have to sue themselves! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think its a bloody great idea and any of you against it are idiiots cos no other labelas do this and it and it had to be up to warp ro take the step forward. good move warp...maybe now people will stop scroun ging free mp3s off soulseek? anyway...good lucky for the future |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on!! contoversy!! please... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
black!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
@all again Bought hab 1 + 2....the quality is good...probably better than any HAB rip....varies about 160 - 190 KB/sec |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
two things: it's a really great idea, as everything is available, stuff like gescom, afx, etc... & you can try some old warp stuff just to taste. OK, it's brillant.... At the same time, it's an incredible insult to artists like AFX & Gescom, who spent days & nights making fucking good trax/production because some of their stuff don't deserve a proper re-release! sorry, just some MP3 (when you like music, MP3 is not enough, just because of compression) bleep is a fucking good idea but some proper re-releases on cd/ep would be better for everyone. also, i have 2 pc, one for internet, the other for music/private stuff: if i buy a mp3, will the mp3 will be ok with my both pc, or are they protected? |
