Jim,Howdy hope you are well.Yes this has been discussed and in theory Arnie likes the idea however he is a very busy man and at the moment how it all might pan out is sketchy.However the idea in principle is as you describe.

Tim,The Wilco album I believe is due on June 6th which I reported in my March news,however that is a UK date perhaps it was due sooner in the US/Canada.I haven't heard anything else but they have a habit of putting their dates backApparently there... 
Audiogon Music News April
Thanks for the kind comments.All things being equal we should be in our new flat by 11th of June.We are moving 75 seconds up the road to a much bigger flat in the same street.Dan one of the things we are currently discussing is splitting the TV an... 
Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon.....
As a music fan first and audio hobbyist next I try to take that approach when I post.My passion for music has never wavered but I read on here that quite a bit of faith has been lost in the quality of modern music.I try to show that there is great... 
Yes Remasters-Gastwrit vs. Rhino
I have the entire Rhino set and would agree they are superior although I only heard about 5 of the previous remasters.The Rhino's are superior but I wouldn't describe the difference as massive.

beware ipod
Kublakhan-basically it'll take about 3-4 minutes on a reasonable PC to upload an album onto your hard drive from there the download takes seconds.I've managed to just about fill my iPod over a couple of weeks so it's not horrific.It takes seconds ... 
beware ipod
It's worth noting as well you can back up files from an iPod with the correct software which is available to download... 
beware ipod
Only a month or so in with my 40GB but I'm a big fan.Only one GB or so left for new stuff!!Although it does appear from what I read there seems to be the odd one with catastrophic problems.... 
Dylan, Richards, and Waits
I have to say as a Dylan nut that BS Vol6. Live 1964 is a slight disappointment for me.Perhaps it's the universal 5 star reviews that had my expectation raised too high.Don't get me wrong it's a very good concert but it lacks that vital X factor f...
