Correct me if I am wrong but you can still make a vinyl into mp3's.

AndrewJ

Yup you can get ones with you could play via line in to your pc and basically from their convert to mp3 and put on your i-pod.

All shes done is make it a tiny bit more difficult, to be honest snobbing her fans like that is not the best way to remain a successful artist.

I don't like ear-probes either, but tis is just dumb.

Ariesjill

I ain't no expert on audio technology....but I have heard that not only is music on vinyl far richer.....but also, besotted audiophiles....buy receivers with vacuum tubes! And they go for wild money!

forcifer

i hate headphones because know i have good speakers

Ariesjill

Ditto. Major ditto.

Ariesjill

Not. (Dumb)

If you say so.

BTW why do you write so many pauses into your sentences?

I have this annoying tendency to read punctuation from time to time and it makes reading one of your post seem like I'm listening to a person suffering from frequent epileptic seizures.

Well....this would imply one needs to be a walking pathology book to be a professional writer. Which, among other things...I am.

Now....language, like everything in life, is a living, breathing, dynamic entity. Each new edition of the most formidable dictionaries reflects this; each incorporates the dynamic of "new" words and terms originating in pulsing subcutlures 9now, including technology) which waft up into official language and enrich it! Same editions delete words which become anachronistic!

There are actually humans around whose professional lives center around tracking this! One has regular apearances on NPR! She is fabulolus!

As a classic example from way backi.....the word "Pixillated" appeared in dictionaries decades before the advent of LCDs and computers. It originated in a classic film of the late Frank Capra (whom I had the good fortune to know toward the end of his life)....and the word mean't delightuflly eccentric, referring to a court scene wheein sisters were called 'Pixilated"...implying they were inhabited by pixies.

I am moved to music...and language, at it's finest, is that. And so....when the cadence/music in my brain dictates....instead of using say comas, I am often moved to dots. Cadence. Free association....writing sounds.
If U can open yourself....without fear, U might both "hear' it and enjoy it.

If not, that's OK too.

Butttt.....hurlng invective because something is not strictly traditional withn YUR LEXICON....forget makng that invective CLINICAL PATHOLOGY ....not very adult, OK?

Just struck me, that when Elvis was in school...he was already manifesting his look...the pegged pants and pink shirts and sideburns....forget all he brought from being addicted to Southern enclaves of black music....and, he was dissed by the terrified.

I would not hurl invective at you because U R by the book.

Such is acceptable say in grade school when eveyone is larval,afraid and struggling 2 form an identity---and U gotta wear the Russell Simmons baggies hangin at the critical butt level...;.U know, or risk not fitting IN.... and anything violating the peer group...brings terror. Terror generates invective-hurling & Yo Mamma-ing. Yo Mamma, & in its infinite, myriad forms...always utterance of desperation.

Google the poet ee cummings.....who made his mark nevha using caps in anything.

One of the great joys n life...is working to cultivate the unique, original individual each of us is.....learinng all the rules, then, which ones 2 honor, which to metamorphose, which ones to bend., which 2 break...though neva arbitrarily, and neva in rebellion/anger

You're welcome.

There will b a quizzzzz....on Wed.
Jill

lol you are indeed a writer.

Ariesjill

Indeed. But heads up: writers R not about punctuation....at their heart....writers...SEE. It ain't where U go; it's wut U Bring.

I cold emply my expensive Nuance voice activation software....and any 6 year old, could...producing classic, pristine text. Andddddd......?

Learning....the best.

Best (and do prepare 4 the quiz, OK? )

Well "wut U Bring" is a subjective thing. To you it's an expressive and creative style, to me it's an obtrusive and unnecessary diversion from what you are trying to convey.

Ariesjill

1) Wut someone brings is nucelar miracle of life....given, in potential we R each unique.

2) again, we R all works in progress......part of the journey is identifying when we R held hostage by shoulds & oughts...unwittignly replicant sensibility, and then, having joy/adventure of freeing ourselves. Right now...U R stuck. U may wish 2 remain so. It is UP TO YEWWWWWWW.

Up 2 U AS WELL.... to determine this truth for yourself if so moved, and then, should U B moved....with sense of adventure, engage IGNTION.....TO LAUNCH YOURSLEF FROM EARTH BOUND GRAVITY....into actual graviTAS.....which can ijclude flights of fancy and all things creative and original and also, often....UNIVERSAL IF NOT conventional.

I get wut U R sayin......U will either C ithe reality of it as impedient or not.

Only U can decide. Nobody else. But at least recognize it 4 wut it is.

Have fun.....& remembah....the real journey...is WITHIN: C THE FIRST QUOTE FROM PROUST in my signature, helloooooo?

Ciao,
J.

why use your sound card when you can do it even easier. check this out, a usb turntable, made just to put yout vinyl in mp3s. and again as stated, she is hurting her fans alot more than those that use mp3s as one of them will buy the record, and then convert it to mp3 and post it everywhere for others to download.
