1. Nil By Mouth by a Kickass New Zealand Metal Band called "Blindspott"
2. Chop Suey by System of a Down
3. Bodies by Drowning Pool
4. Back to the Primitive by Soulfly
5. This is a Test from WWF the Music Volume 4 (Test's Theme Music)

I had 500 before I had to reformat at the start of the year too.

Eh? What do you mean by legit? Do you mean does he really have them?

Upload to where?A site or other users?

I just block other users uploading my songs,slows my connection right down if they do.:(

Hugh Jass
10-08-2001, 11:35 PM
Other users. I just exit the satellite and then start it up agian in about 30 seconds.

OIC,I just encrypt the mp3 files when I have finished downloading them or if I see another user getting ready to download one of them.:D

Hugh Jass
10-08-2001, 11:44 PM
Lol, I don't think it's worth going to that effort to stop people downlaoding from you.

You could just move the mp3s out of your shared directory :D

I-NemesiS01
10-08-2001, 11:49 PM
It's no effort really,I never though of putting them in another directory though.:D

I must have around 40 Mp3's with movies added.

Hugh Jass

I have over 3 gigs of mp3s and a 30gig hard drive. But 6 gb of that is un accessable due to an accident with partition magic. :(

Hespy
10-13-2001, 08:08 PM
I had like 300 then my dam hardrive died so i lost em all. since then have formatted on 3 occasions and only have managed to claw back a neat 190 :(

Whats Patition Magic?

Hugh Jass
10-13-2001, 09:39 PM
Partition magic lets you seperate your hard dirve into different erm drives. Different sections. You could make a new partition justfor mp3s which would be your f: drive. Or if you wanted to dual boot Linux with WIndows you'd have windows on one partition and then linux will have it's own partitions.

Yep, and DAMN handy it is! I've got every important things (like wondows, programms and school-stuff on C:\ and all the other (like music, games, crap) on D:\ it'll help ya out BIG time on re-installing your PC!

I have a grand total of ZERO MP3s, and I am proud of it!

What I tend to do is go to my local CD retailer and hand over hard-earned cash in exchange for a CD that will live amongst my 400 other CDs and get an airing from time to time. I have done away with the worry of accidentally wiping my music library simply by purchasing the music I enjoy in a form that is difficult to damage and/or destroy.

What I'm saying is that I cannot be arsed with MP3 or the fake hype surrounding the format.

Well,you stick to your guns there ronnie while the rest of us spend our extra cash on porn videos.:D

Ronnie Badger
10-14-2001, 06:08 PM
:rolleyes: Damn! Now I'm torn between the two...... What to do, what to do? Sod it! It's gotta be porn from now on! :D

Anybody wanna buy 400 CDs......?

Hespy
10-14-2001, 06:44 PM
Lol both rule :D So why waste money on cd's? to be honest, if i download an album on mp3 i normally go buy it anyways! hehe just to boost my collection if u will, or if i buy a cd i always rip it all to mp3 :wave:

Hugh Jass
10-14-2001, 08:46 PM
I try to buy the albums if I really like the band and I never download whole albums. It's hard to get the albums you want here unless you want Steps and S Club 7.

I-NemesiS01
10-14-2001, 09:59 PM
Do you mean it's hard to buy them or hard to download them hugh?:confused:

Akira
10-14-2001, 10:04 PM
I think he means downloadin em

Hugh Jass
10-14-2001, 10:08 PM
I meant buying albums, getting the albums I want.

I-NemesiS01
10-14-2001, 10:40 PM
Aah,IC.I used to order all my music over the phone from HMV direct,don't know if they still do that service anymore.They were very good for stocking rare,hard to find music.:)

Akira
10-14-2001, 10:44 PM

I'm not too sure of an exact number, I reckon it's around 300. Lost count somewhere as they're not all stored in the same place.

I-NemesiS01
10-31-2001, 07:28 PM
300?:rolleyes:Any cliff richard?:D

Lee's Dad
10-31-2001, 08:12 PM
Cliff Richard! Now you're talking!

Hugh Jass
10-31-2001, 08:15 PM
That's the halloween spirit!! Good old fashioned music with subliminal satanic messages. :)

speed demon
11-01-2001, 01:51 PM
300? Any cliff richard?

Yep, quite a lot isn't it :p . Can be fun having ADSL. But no, I don't have any Cliff Richard, why'd you ask? :wtf:

I-NemesiS01
11-01-2001, 08:50 PM
Cliff is king,everybody should have some.:D

Well, people seem to sing the praises of mp3, but I use good old wma if I need to compress audio. For any given data rate I reckon wma offers better quality, with less audible artifacts. In fact at a data rate of 128, I can barely tell the difference from the source. Not the case with mp3 however, although the 'badness' of the compression seems to vary with the software used to perform it.
I do understand the attraction of mp3 though, simply that that is the format used on the web. Smells slightly like the VHS/Betamax battle - the best lost there as well!:p

No because just like Tom jones he refuses to stop making music. Not that I have anything against Tom Jones though.

Akira
11-05-2001, 09:31 PM
Tom jones is an ok guy, but i think his music is dated ta hell!!!!:rolleyes:

Has anyone on here actually ever heard of WMA? I don't understand why MP3 is used and not WMA, with WMA you can have the same quality for a lower file size, or higher quality for the same file size.....I think :D

Hugh Jass
11-06-2001, 10:23 PM
The W in WMA is for Windows. That's why.

lee
11-08-2001, 05:36 PM
Hehe, I know but this Windows is better than the O/S :D
