![]() ![]() ![]() I don't have an iPod or MP3 player (I actually hate listening to music when there's so much environmental noise) and don't feel the need to integrate my pc in my stereo setup. They have a setup over there that I could never match in quality at home. I do make needledrops sometimes, but that happens in the gramophone museum where I work as a volunteer. I used to burn a cd every once in a while, or download a song or two, but that's hardly the case anymore. I can't even concentrate very well when there's music playing in my office. I consider them two different entities, one for work and one for (p)leisure. I'm a freelance writer, journalist and translator, so my pc is in my office at home, while my listening/music room is upstairs - and I don't have a pc there. I probably will load a few more that I want on the jukebox eventually. I have enough CDs to keep my jukebox full and when I feel like analog I listen to the vinyl not on the jukebox. ![]() I rarely do needle drops.I guess if I want to hear music from my records I either buy a copy on CD to rip or just play the album if it's not on CD. I go back and forth on how much I want the HTPC and big display. For the singles I sometimes attach a pic of the single picture sleeve eventhough I may have the single listed as a track under the CD compilation name Past Masters.other bands I just have a singles "album name". I select a band like Beatles and get all the album cover organized by original release date. I like browsing my album cover organized by genre or just alphabetical by band. I use Meedio as my "theater view" player and an HP media center remote. I use flac and I use MediaMonkey to transcode the files to mp3 on the fly for movement to my iPod. plug my ipod into my car stereo or burn a CDR (I currently burn a 100+ song mp3 disk).Ĭlick to expand.What player do you use now? Slimserver and Squeezebox? Foobar2000? Oh yeah.I want to wirelessly download a playlist from my PC Jukebox to my car in the garage below my media room.vs. I have played with all the different camps. Thanks for the feedback.kinda interesting to think about.especially since I have a lot of technology that could do things differently. I'm not sure I fully followed the last comment. I used to play a U2 song and then get streamed a playlist of bands someone thought would appeal to U2 listeners.as an example. As long as I was willing to settle for the near CD quality, and an iTunes like selection what I described worked. My HTPC is directly connected to my Big Screen and pre/pro. 's easy to paint a vision but copyright, pooling different companies together, incumbant models and suppliers, and industry politics in general complicate things.predicting the future is a tough business and one can be way off. "A rhapsody in the living room? no way- seeing as iTunes is still the biggest seller of digital music, the industry will die before they will ever get an act together." "and then there are those who need convenience (eg: space) and have used computers enough to do what is necessary to turn a computer into a viable music source." these are 2.0 (I still do this sometimes.PCs can be a pain) there are the people who can't use computers but still use just cd players or it is simply more convenient to stick with a hardware disc player" ![]() this fits my 1.0 (nothing wrong with 1.0.I love it) I would say there is an analog only crowd that is stuck for some reason or another on it (eg: so much invested already, whats the point of trying anything else, etc.), Only new folks get sucked into the ADHD shuffle mode/whatever, it gets boring The jukebox aspect is an entirely different subject matter, I think bringing it up is a bad stereo type- If it were as easily possible to have access to anything whenever, one is always tempted to just listen to what the want at the moment. I would say there is an analog only crowd that is stuck for some reason or another on it (eg: so much invested already, whats the point of trying anything else, etc.), there are the people who can't use computers but still use just cd players or it is simply more convenient to stick with a hardware disc player, and then there are those who need convenience (eg: space) and have used computers enough to do what is necessary to turn a computer into a viable music source.Ī rhapsody in the living room? no way- seeing as iTunes is still the biggest seller of digital music, the industry will die before they will ever get an act together. But what about 3.1 users? Anyway, I think you have it a bit off. ![]()
