had the most stupid argument at work today at lunch, colleague says CDs are dead and nobody buys them anymore and I said that is not true at all because I still buy CDs and the shop on my street still sells them and he said "that's because you're stuck in 2003" and I said the ipod came out in 2001 actually, NOT 2003, he had it wrong by two whole years and he would not even check it!!! :rolleyes: then he said physical media is over and everything is itunes now and I said itunes is not even legal here properly and also you cannot hold a download in your hand, where is the sacrament in that??? he kept saying "ok grandpa" (I am 32!! ) and I said you can keep the download when the server closes, try again, and he had nothing to say to that did he :P so anyway CDs are not dead and he was wrong about the date and I want it on the record here because nobody at my office listens to me but you lot might :D :D :D

:D :P :rolleyes: :dumbbravo: :banana:

SnowMaiden_1983 I am with you on the CD thing :rockon: :rockon: I still buy CDs at the Half Price Books in Dayton and nobody there calls me grandpa for it :smile:

Question I got nobody can answer for me - if you rip a CD to MP3 at 128kbps does the data still count as the same "physical sacrament" or does the compression strip something out?? :confused: :confused: My son says it is just 1s and 0s either way but I told him that sounds like something someone who never held a jewel case would say :rolleyes:

Regards,
Dennes s

SnowMaiden ur colleague sounds like the type who thinks mp3 at 128kbps "still has all the data" which is exactly the kind of thinking this board runs on actually :D nobody checks the bitrate they just believe the label

Dennis with the "does compression strip something out" question while still running a Dennes sig and a 1:47 display that doesn't match his 4:47 timestamps. You're asking about bitrate integrity my guy. Look at your own clock gap first. Then we can talk about whether a jewel case holds sacraments. One thing at a time :rolleyes:

CDs are fine btw. SnowMaiden is right. Kael's discography is CD-only for a reason. REAL artists don't compress. They let you hold the artifact. Just saying.

14:47 says 4:47. open the system tray, Dennes. :peugeot:

Kael you keep bringing up my clock radio photo that I already posted Sep 29 with a newspaper and ruler. You still owe the April 2006 hex dump at 24 weeks now. What is the file path?
