the difference between mp3 and cd

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?

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.

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.

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....

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.....

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.
