Lots of talk about attending the cutting. What if you can't? What if I wanted my plates cut at Optimum or Heathman's or The Exchange, but I live in Canada and cannot afford the $500 + expenses to attend the cutting? What then?

Who would have guessed when they started pre-ordering for that ridiculous binder that it would wet the appetites and imaginations of so many fans. That Analord series must have been a watershed for Rephlex. I'd be shocked if they've ever gotten as much press as they did over that. Marketing...

Which is precisely why these types of clauses are deemed unenforceable.

How come twice as many people have voted in your poll as have voted in mine, eden? Do you log in under 10 or 20 different names or something?

Good point. I presume you mean 100K POUNDS, not DOLLARS. Things are definitely booming in the west (i.e. Alberta, British Columbia) and real estate properties are scaled to match. I suspect, however, that even Vancouver prices don't compare to London prices.

That depends how you look at it. The city (small "c"; less that 150,000 people) in which I live there already exists a refinery and two pulp & paper mills, plus all the normal ancilliary services in the central business district. I am part of the team refurbishing the 600MW CANDU reactor for...

My point.

Come to Canada. A 2000sqft., 2 storey house here in the east costs about £100,000.

No worries edward. I kind of expected responses like that. I listen almost exclusively to mixes on my Sansa, so I don't exactly fit either. The problem with polls is that if you have too many options, they become statistically meaningless. I chose a nice spread of 5 (extremes at either end...

Start your own poll, eden. This is my crusade.

Patience. I'm a poll virgin.

As suggested by Blackdown in the Record Industry in Decline thread, I've set up a poll to quantify the Dissensus massive's interest in and engagment with hard media and/or soft media. I realize that the choices are somewhat limited, but try to push your ass squarely into one of the round holes.

That would be an awesome read. I don't. There's money to be made, just less of it. Gone are the days of platinum albums. We could start a poll, I guess. Agreed. As simon said, it's nice to give someone else the control. While I can see your point about nostalgia, I didn't start buying...

*Bump* Do the Bumpty-Bump. Do the, do the Bumpty-Bump.

Thank you gentlemen for making my point. We as aficionados, or in mms’s and edward’s case industry insiders, are exposed to far more music than the average joe. As we have reached our saturation point, so too will the masses. It is, as they say, a matter of time. In my view, the way forward...

I wouldn't say vinyl is going to "come back" necessarily, although I'm sure we'll see a resurgence in much the same way we see other fashions come and go. What I am saying is that vinyl will outlast any other physical format purely because it is a hassle to encode. There is nothing remotely...

That's not purist baloney, it's common freakin' sense. The conclusion can only be that vinyl will be the only remaining physical music recorded music format in the not-to-distant future. As for your collection: @ 128kbps (itunes quality), 1 min music ~ 1MB @ 320kbps (near-CD quality), 1 min ~...

OTM. Although I would suggest that it has more to do with transferability/portability equating disposability in the minds of west society than sound quality. The 8-track, for example was at the forefront of portability in the 1960s. That is, until audio cassettes came along. From there, it...

I like the Sandisk Sansa m260. What I like most is that there's no *insert name of half-assed music library software here* required. It's all drag and drop.

I use Cool Edit Pro (which became Audacity). It's incredibly simple; you just set the track marker wherever you want it. When it comes time to burn it, you have to make sure the gap is set to 0 and burn away. Works perfectly.
