Catchy tunes that sound great?
Another Michael Jackson, actually Jackson Five. "I Want You Back"How about the Torero's song from Carmen--not the death theme though.There are some pretty catchy passages in some of Beethoven's symphonies.JPO 
The best acoustic guitar recordings??
From the great master of classical guitar "Segovia: The Great Master".In the early 70's I was privileged to attend a once in a lifetime concert. Andre Segovia played for almost two hours in a small recital room to an audience of teachers, students... 
EAC dbpoweramp jumpstart
Steve, Steve N., and sprngr (via PM)Thanks guys for your responses. Before I started work on EAC this morning I decided to do some more googleing to try to locate a good tutorial that was relevant to a specific version of EAC. I found a good tutor... 
WAV vs. AIFF
Just an aside. After I read your post I Googled "WAV vs. AIFF". Several posts on other forums said that AIFF was developed by Apple prior to Windows developing WAV. Interesting eh?As far as one format verses another is concerned, computing horsepo... 
EAC dbpoweramp jumpstart
EAC enthusiasts, a little help please.I’m working the EAC learning curve pretty hard mainly because I want to use a single excellent ripper and convert the resulting rips to various formats. I think EAC is the best choice but I’d like to make this... 
Sonics on Cassandra Wilson New LP
Just read a couple of professional reviews, and the Amazon customer reviews on the CD.No one complained about the sonics per se, but one of the professional reviews reported that the album was recorded during informal spontaneous sessions in a ren... 
Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics?
This is very funny, and I have a couple of comments I'm tempted to make. But I'm staying out of this one. I made a flippant post about the Ionic Hair Dryer CD Thingee and the next day I met a chemical engineer who specializes in ionic processes wh... 
Music for "Tough Times"
When I'm down I seem to draw comfort from tragic or melancholy music. Some of the music of Beethoven, Brahms, Shostakovich,and Billie Holiday fill the bill then.When I'm already in a great mood, some of the music of Beethoven, Mozart, Saint-Saens,...

Denver record store s with Classical vinyl?
This post is more remembrance than helpful response.In the middle 80s I helped my father-in-law move from what then was a very nice apartment northeast of the Cathedral on East Colfax. He had a 70s vintage Mcintosh system (damn heavy) and about a ... 
Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help
Audiobroke,Im thinking of getting Arros and a Storm sub. Looking for integration and musicality and not too concerned about really low freq response. Just wonder if you have any detailed thoughts on the Totem Storm and any comparisons to make to o... 
Internet radio stations that sound really good
Where is that "embaressment" smiley face icon when you need it?In the preceding post I was of course referring to Radioio not RadioRio.I'll adjust my meds before making another post.Enjoy the music anyway. 
Internet radio stations that sound really good
This is not a rant against RadioRio as much as it is an appeal to support Public Radio.IMHO RadioRio does not stand out from the crowd. Despite the rhetoric on the home page it is pretty much like any other commercial internet station. It has a me...
