that's it
im tired of grabbing more and more directories

im tired of finding an album i like then pulling down all 14
albums/eps from the same user ; 90% of which ill never
listen to

im sick of only liking a few tracks off an album

sigh, it's for the better

great, now go find and maintain a nice vegetable plot on an
alotment somewhere, that way you can get upset if someone
shits on your grass

bastard.

I just checked - my first impression was correct, I do
actually not care.

Eluso here has discovered, finally, that devaluing music to
to point of harvesting it like so many fucking fish in a
trawler does affect your ability to appreciate it. When, in
the "bad" old days, when you didn't have much money and you
had to choose with care what records you bought, you found
you actually listened to them. Now, fucking miserable kids,
hard drives creaking with unlistened to back catalogues,
credit cards maxxed out on orders for 10 - 20 albums at a
go... you know what, FUCK YOU.

It's time to start enjoying it instead of collecting it.

Points: 18368 Status: Lurker | Show recordbag



who the hell said i don't enjoy it?

i just have all this music on my box that i'll never have
time to listen to because it usually takes me a SOLID 3-4
weeks with an album to truely get into it.

so ill start removing some.

i don't think you quite get my vector, but im used to that
by now.

by "collecting" i mean browsing someones files and just
saying "download download download" then i store it.

that happens, yes ... but it doesn't take away from any
albums that have power over me

qrter, we dont have many record stores around here and i
dont live in a big city so i can just walk there and the
sort; dunno if oyu can understand that?

i thought it might stir up some discussion about whether
people donwload all sorts of shit or just what they are
looking for (also would be depending upon their connection,
obviously).

you obviously gave a flying fuck enough to post in this
thread.

oh noes
btw inkey, im stealing your music!

i've downloaded many albums last year on slsk that i didnt
listen to ; but i'm listening to some of them now ( i can't
use slsk anymore due to my connection ) ; just have a break
from downloading and take the time to listen ; if you don't
like all tracks of an album just make compilations

Points: 18368 Status: Lurker | Show recordbag



i think im only 1/2 getting my point across

i should try to be a little bit clearer.

i have tons of albums that ive purchased after hearing
online; i take plenty of time to listen

i was merely stating that i have way too much music and ill
never get around to listening to it all because of how much
time is required for me to appreciate an album, that i might
as well just start deleting it

better? anyone agree?

information overload: one of the new diseases of the
information age. there is so much information now, that is
available at your fingertips, that it becomes very difficult
to decide where to invest one's time.

either that or you're just a damn dirty pirate. arrrr!

it's a problem, no doubt

i only ever download what i'm looking for. which is hardly
anything anymore. just the odd track, or an album before i
decide to buy.

my roommate used to pirate software, video game roms, you
name it, 24/7. he filled spools of blank cd-roms. he never
actually played any of the roms, or used any of the
software.

i think it's some sort of insanity.

i talked to him about it a few times. it seemed he simply
couldn't not download the stuff, because it was
there, and it was valuable.

scary =S
a friend of mine has the complete discogrphy of the wu
tang-clan on his computer ; once i started to put 36
chambers but he said "what is that shit ?" ; i answered
"it's in your mp3s dude !" and he said "yeah but it's crap"
it's an example among others : he has a lot of mp3s, divx,
games etc just because he once had the opportunity to dl
them, but in fact he really doesn't care about

jkd, i used to do that when divx came out 4 or so years ago
i had spools of cd-r movies

i owuld watch a lot of them (because back in the day we
didnt have hdd space to accompany all those movies!! so they
had to be stored on cd-r)

then came the dvd burners, yadda yadda

i gave it all up
i havent even copied a dvd movie in the past 1-2years (ok,
like 3-4 over the past couple years)

im doing great on the video

but now it's the damn music :)

i don't have a lot of games; i just cleaned out a LOT of my
TV episodes so im good there.

divxs should really still be stored on cd-rs or in multiples
on dvds.

it's pointless keeping 700mb files on your HD that you'll
watch maybe 5 times per year MAX, or once or twice more
likely.

Music however is listened to every single day and so it's
prime hd filling material.

good luck with stopping collecting music - i've contemplated
this a few times over the last year since i got broadband,
since i devoted so much time to getting around the college
firewall and finding music and sorting it..

i guarantee you your vacation from piracyland won't last.
