live set: Sir K @ the djs who saved christmas

[Sir_K]

the recording isnt that great because we used a VHS tape on EP so we could get the whole show on one tape

breaks, scratching, sounds all right its not edited or mastered and 100% live, lemme know what you think

cheers

click to listen - WMA format 120Kbps

[matéo]

EDIT.


I didnt find anything in this mix tasteful.

Does it hurt so much to use mp3s?

[Sir_K]

I like WMA better than Fraunhofer's codec. If you're looking for cross-platform compatibility, most media players on most platforms support the standard.

120 is a pretty random bitrate to encode sound in. kinda overkill for a mono source.

oh well, sucks anyways. merry christmas.

Funny that.

WMA support is really shaky with Linux. To the point that it's not worth trying. Trust me.

If you don't like the de-facto standard of mp3 then ogg is always available. I can't think of anything a bit more open to the public than that.

Yeah OGG is a really nice format.

I wasnt aware that Linux WMA support was so shakey. Obviously MSFT has their reasons, but figured since their mac support is strong, and OSX is basically Unix, that a port would be pretty easy to find.

Thx for the pointa

uhm...
I have yet to see a media player that DOESN'T play mp3 audio.

OSX is far from basically unix. It just has a BSD core so it can run Unix programs (IE Bash, getty, etc.). But all the MacOS APIs are rather proprietary (hence why you won't find an x86 port of OSX anytime soon) and probably PPC-based, and so getting Mac stuff to run on linux is a lot more difficult than a simple recompile.

WMA shouldn't be a standard IMHO because Microsoft has this sad habit of breaking their formats in order to make them more proprietary. If you don't believe me try opening a Microsoft Office 6 document in Office XP.

listened...nothing caught my ear.....got bored..turned it off.

not worth the bandwidth...

edit: not worth the post..

wma's are pains in the ass when using mac's.

for the most part though I've been pretty happy with micro"devils" applications for the mac. except for windows media player which I just can't stand for a lot of reasons.
