the difference between mp3 and cd (or vinyl for that sake) is definatly that when hearing the cd, it's a unreached territory. A timeline that unfolds. With Mp3 you have it all infront. Titles and time. And this zapper-generation can't stop zapping through the playlist, or putting it on random. Sure you can do the same with cd's, but the feeling of a "time hole" or a "time with the artist" is best preserved in the whole package of CD/Vinyl/Tape. agree? |

totally .. well said my friend, I've thought it but never realized how to say it. |

Ah, I thought this was going to be another audio quality debate. I agree with what you sa, another analogy would be old videogames you have to load in from tape. On the original machine you would play a game for at least 1/2 hour as it took 5-10 mins to load... On an emulator where it takes less than a second, you switch games every time you die. A further analogy (and topic of postmodern debate) would be "channel hopping" due to a huge number of channels. |

exactly ;) |

So did I actually. I agree with you on the Emulator front completely. I just swap games like that now. Before I used to play the game for ages before giving up. I still use my Spectrum. |

audio quality debate ? let me put my silver digital knight outfit... I come back in five minutes. For your analogy I totally agree. Yesterday I played my NES emu and I had the whole night to spend on it. I decided to play some RPG roms. Impossible - I found it too slow and each time I had to figure out something in the game I lost patience and came back to a good platform game. |

so faster technoligy equals that games/audio has to have extremely good contense |

whoa! deep. Faster technology caters for our dwindling attention spans.... True. I HAVE been noticing I flip channels on TV faster lately...... |

Have anyone ever seen Johnny Mnemonic...they all suffer a ilness caused by information overload. Could be reality. But yes...the more information we can gain access to, the more information seems boring cuz its slow. Remember how fast the 486 seemed back int the days? |

hmmm, i wish i could flip channels faster, but my remote control (leg-->toe) gets tired quicker than those modern ones.... |

*lol* i used to build long lego pointers, so i could switch buttons without a remote |

When I did have cable I can't say I found my self channel hopping. The MP3 thing is true though. The number of times I just listen to part of it then play something else. Same on my decks though really. I mix too quickly. I just loke to get to the next tune as quickly as possible. |

I believe there's enough room in your brain to contain the whole internet. Not to copy 'as it' like you do on a hard drive but in term of information or knowledge if you prefer. One of the great mystery of the brain: we are all able to recognize a known face, form or object in less than 150 msec but given our knowledge of the brain 'architecture' (mostly layers of neurones) the theoritical processing time is twice the one we observe ! |

and this is really annoying when you are mixing music for friends :| I always complain when someone stops the music before the end of the track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and the fact that we only use approx 10% of our brain |
||||||||
|
|

I heard that about the brain too. Apparently we store everything we ever see,hear etc. It's the accessing it that's the problem. I may nab me a brain and use it as a Hard-Drive. Think of all the MP3s I could store..... |

Ha ha, did you glue the bricks together then dope them for stability too ;) |

NO MAN!!! i could never glue lego together!!!...thats a waste of precious lego! ;) |

I have had a complaint about it before but just the one. As I'm normally playing stuff they don't fully recognise or I'm doing silly mixing betweem well known tunes so it's all fun. I get what you mean though I should stop it as I think it's getting worse. |

"What the fuck is this music ? oh stop it now" That's what I hear when I'm trying to introduce my friends to 'Bucephalus Bouncing Balls' or 'Paralellic Triangles'. |

Yep. I played 54 Cymru beats at a party recently and people just looked scared when the "Fucked up noise" came on. |
