out of curiosity, how much have folks here spent on bleep? did you mostly buy out of print stuff or did you grab a few new releases too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm...a complex equation leads me directly to the answer of £0.00 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've only bought an Prefuse EP. I'd probably buy more in the future (ep and lp) if I find out that the physical album has only a front/back artwork. I hate dropping $15 on an album that has only a single sleeve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
£0.99 just wanted to see how it worked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow - so artwork is a major factor in your decision to buy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh. that curious? I must say I've never bought anything, and although curious, I probably won't until they offer something better than mp3s. like flacs or something. needs to be a tad cheaper too imo. £1 per track is just too much imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't bought anything from there. dont have any plans to either. as i never download stuff for free anyway, i dont see the point. i'm a fan of owning the finished product. i get a lot of pleasure from having records on a shelf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even if bleep charged 25p per track? huh wouldja wouldja? huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i am a bit critical to buying things that does not have a physical form, as digital music. i rather buy the cd, then rip it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. still wouldn't bother. i like going out and buying my records from my local dealer. i dont mind paying 10 or 12 quid for an album. my bank does though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm very curious as to how bleep's selling... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought Ultravisitor because it was cheaper than getting the CD. Also got the RDJ album - pure impulse buy. Don't think I'll be doing it again soon - maybe some rare stuff someday but I won't be making a habit of it. Too xpensive. In gereal I prefer eMusic - 22 cents a track, Lame VBR mp3s, obviously no copy protection. Flac would be better but Lame VBR is so good the difference is marginal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought that bleep used LAME encoded VBR MP3's? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes they also do - they're just 4 times the price of eMusic's tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh i see well anyways, i wont buy from bleep until they start encoding in AAC in at least 160kbps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You want a worse file format - lower bitrate and DRMed? Are you holding out for higher prices too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I won't buy from bleep until I can't get the stuff for free any more. If I like MP3 I buy something I can use as either a) a drinks mat b) a dinner mat when I get bored. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers fleetmouse. even oggs would be better wouldn't they? if warp are so keep on the righteous path away from drm they could go to town with licence free oggs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will probably buy ska006 when Skam ever puts that up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a 128kbps AAC is better quality than a 160kbps MP3 therefore 160kbps AAC's are my encoding standard for my personal library. and also they're not all DRM'd, only the ones you buy from the Apple Store are DRM'd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought the HAB ep's, that's all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The problem with Oggs is that hardware players that can handle them are rare as hens teeth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I downloaded them off someone to see whether they were worth buying and I didn't think they were. I will stick with the vinyl, which I accidently superglued to my face back in the summer of 98. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, that's where superglueing your lips comes from. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah. won't work in those overpriced shiny ipod things will they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
160k mp3s suck. VBR mp3s use as many bits per frame as the frame requires to faithfully encode that snippet of music - so they can range from as low as 64 bits to as high as 320 if there's lots of treble. |

I'm pretty happy with the bitrate/format etc, its the quality I rip all my CDs anyway. I've spent a few quid getting the odd remix etc, I'm sure I would use it more if I had broadband. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes...I admit it...I have a superglue fetish :( You know when a street trader offers to sell you 20 little tubes on a blister pad for £1.50 and you just can't turn them down. YOU HAVE TO BUY IT. Then you have to find uses for it. That is where my problems begin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea I only use a superglue tube once and discard it. It sucks tho, it blatently one tube of decent stuff watered down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It still sticks though...sticks like it's selling nails AHAHAHAHAHA.no |

Well... I have quite a few tracks out of Bleep. But they are almost all hard to find tracks.. Like some good old AFX stuff. Otherwize, i baught tracks from albums that i lost a few times. Or albums on wich i only like a few tracks or so... Like Broadcast, or The Routine comp. And more... But i haven't spent much (yet). And if i will in the future.. It will only be hard to find stuff... (especially for me, as i live in "///////" and some stuff isn't as easy to find as in England... )... Or a track or two to see if the album is good or not... My two last tracks that i baught were out of "Choose your own adventure" by Team Doyobi... amazing stuff... i'll definnetly order the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. i imagined folks not wanting to wait for mail order might feel inclined to order more. |
||||||||

i only payed for two tracks so far. |

I´ve bought a few bits/bytes of off there, stuff I have on vinyl. Does a scale exist by which you can measure just how gay Oscilik is? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
£ 0.00 they are too expensive for something that you can´t keep in your hands |

About 20 squid actually. I really shouldn't drink lots and squander my money on the in-ter-net. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, because I'll still buy it if the music is great, but if there is minimal artwork, then i'll get it through the cheapest source - which may be bleep. |

I tend to agree. I didn't think I was so old-fashined.. but the idea of paying for digital music downloads seems ridiculous to me, especially when hard-copies are available. I don't particularly like music downloading at all, legal or otherwise. It cheapens the product. Even if it's out-of-print, I'd rather undertake the challenge of trying to track it down. I find artwork and packaging to be a crucial part.. in some cases inexorably linked to the music contained inside. It greatly influences the way I interpret the music, whether I like it or not. I guess I've just had 'the medium is the message' crammed down my throat one too many times. |

i know that warp does everything they do to keep on releasing good music, that they respect their artists but i think that the bleep thing is really disapointing... they have lots of cds & 12" that should be re-released & the only thing they do, is to put them online & sell them at, almost, the same price of a cd. i feel like being cheated (i never use P2P) think of black dog 2nd LP, Gescom keynell, AFX HAB & the lovely seefeel cds... its shame that it's not avaliable anymore. of course i know that if they don't re-release those hard 2 find records its for $$$ reasons, not because their nasty. but it's still a pity. (0£ / $ spent on bleep) |
||||||||

|
|
id buy it, if it was lossless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey wait, are they doing a bleep-rerelease of the older (pre-warp) black dog stuff? what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no: what i mean was instead of re-release old deleted cds, they sells mp3 online instead the black dog i was talking about is the one with "mahanttan", spinnes its called i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spanners. didnt know it was deleted... stupid warponians, that album is too good to be deleted |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, spanners, bought it last month at amazon :) lovely cd, i'm sure a re-release on a 2cd set (bonus one with peel session, outakes, remixes or whatever ) could sell pretty well in 2004, but warp seems to seek for their future (lex, new artists) not their past & i respect that |
