| Vinyl-sourced files at Tidal (how common for stream services?) hollowman ... it seems as if Tidal (maybe other commercial releasers as well) are using or contracting out subpar ripping ... Streaming services such as Tidal and Qobuz get their files from licensed music distributors. They don't "rip" their o... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. gano ... because of our very serious differences, I don’t comment on what you write, partly for my mental health ... This is the first I’ve heard of such "very serious differences," @gano. I can’t imagine what they are. Really. Perhaps yo... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. gano Todd Blanche was a prosecutor and then defended the last person one should defend if you are serious about law and order. So I don’t understand lawyer’s logic and ethics. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial, at least in theory. "We hav... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? "The most infamous falling out brothers" The Everlys, perhaps? | |
| Seller Silence Warranties typically apply to the original purchaser and aren't transferable. That may be why the sellers didn't respond to you. There are some notable exceptions, such as Bryston. | |
| Home Wiring Improvements For Better Quality Sound Please read what I wrote, @livinon2wheels. My objection was to using a dielectric grease. | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? mapman ... Is there some agreement site users agree to that covers this? If not then would seem reasonable to dispute ... +1 I've never been a seller here, but I'm sure there's an agreement that covers the listing, and that's what should be... | |
| Mic signal You can use a shotgun mic. | |
| Satellite radio tuners There's no way to get around Sirius/XM's processing and lossy compression, but I've found the online stream suffers less than the satellites. To get the best of it, I use an iPad's digital out into my DAC. The stream is offered in varying quality,... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? gano But we all/mostly all agree that you are ruining these conversations by constantly berating people. Gee, you'd think the moderators would have noticed such behavior. How did they miss it? Perhaps you should alert them. Or, you could ... | |
| transferring music to SSD Respectfully @whart the Sony case arrived at the high court predominately because of the manufacturer’s liability issue, but Fair Use was always at the root of the lengthy case. That’s the aspect of the opinion that I think remains relevant. As y... | |
| transferring music to SSD whart ... I would not rely on Sony as precedent--"free" broadcast TV, case was based on a very stale record (facts in the case) when blank tapes were cost-prohibitive ... Anything's possible and it was a 5-4 opinion. But if you look at the... | |
| transferring music to SSD onhwy61 Is there any legal prohibition about recording as you stream? No. At least in the US, that's a settled matter. See, Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984), aka "Betamax case" | |
| Claude #2 It was an interesting thread, so I’m sorry you had it deleted. I understand your enthusiasm @unreceivedogma for AI and certainly understand that it’s an inevitable part of our future - and even the present. But I also think it’s misguided to cha... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes mitch2 ... regardless of whether a UDP/IP or TCP/IP protocol, doesn’t the entire data packet eventually arrive at the streamer ... It does if it's TCP/IP because any faulty packet is simply re-sent. That re-send isn't possible with UDP/IP, tho... |
