p.s. these remastered deluxe versions of Faith/Pornography/Seventeen Seconds are ace. A Forest sounds about ten times better. quality, may have to have a gander at that sometimee soon |

The original mixes were pretty shite but these are seriously far superior, I need to get hold of them on CD now because I feel too much of a pikey downloading music.

no worries, I saw the video for 'Everybody Knows That You're Insane' last night and was inspired. It's a weird video, some naked bloke waving his cock around throughout...

If you disable the QoS packet schedular in windows I swear internet and download speeds are better

Listening to QOTSA now  My only problem with downloading music is that the sound quality won't be as good, but seeing as I will buy any of the albums I really like or make cd audio copies with my recording deck that doesn't matter. My hi-fi is back in Swindon anyhoo |

I put all my music on the computer anyway so I can listen to it easily, a quality VBR with LAME encoder is as good as you'll get, it's impossible to tell the difference unless you've got seriously good equipment, which I don't.

A VBwotsit? I thought LAME meant not very good.
My hi-fi at home is a seperates system (my pride and joy) and I can notice the difference, but I'm very anal retentive with the details

I rip all of my CD's to mp3 format using a program called CDex which uses an encoder known as LAME. I encode at VBR quality, which is Variable BitRate and basically it's the best form of compression for mp3s without too much quality loss and massive file sizes. I've got a Sony mini hifi I've had for years, got my PC hooked upto it though so I can play my mp3s via Winamp and use my speakers for it, ace  |

I download most of my music these days, bought about 50 cds last year but it's much much cheaper, free in fact so I've downloaded a few 100 albums. I just play it through an amplifier and it sounds pretty sexy.

I'd love to buy albums, but as a student the amount I listen too is un-affourdable. But the music I reccomend too people makes up for it. For example, I wouldn't know about kaiser chiefs or maximo park before they became big if other people recomended them to me. But downloadig hurts no one
