speaking of which. Anyone got any hi-res scans of classic Penguin novels?
I've got tons of books but I want to read them on my iPad. Just can't be bothered to scan each page of each book and turn them into a pdf

Thanks all. I guess the soulseek days are over.
Jimbo82, I have a recording device and have recorded a few but its taking forever.
The one thing that pissed me off about audacity is that you have to record, then convert that recording to mp3. I wish you could just record directly to mp3 to the hard drive.

Baskerville, there was a time before mp3's ya know. When you had to actually go to a shop to buy your music.
Why does vinyl bother you so much? Its an awesome medium for mixing. Shit most DJ's still use technics to mix mp3's cause its a lot more fun that a cdj or even laptops

I know there was. I own vinyl myself, and still have audio cassettes, some great mix tapes that I made in my youth.
I've actually done quite a bit of recording audio-in and splitting up tracks before. I saved a rare Chick Corea tape for a friend that was about to wear-out by digitising it.It's not you, I just hate audio snobs who simply must have everything in FLAC etc. To me music is so much more about the message than the medium. I'm not a fan of having nostalgic attachment to a medium, it seems strange to me.
BTW have you looked for the albums you own on something like spotify? there is a huge catalog on there and it's pretty simple to record music direct to mp3, much like taping from the radio. and it doens't feel ileagal or traceable like bit torrent.
there, a serious reply!
- fair point, but to me music is about the medium too. The artwork, the tangability of owning a peice of music. You can never truly own an mp3, your computer owns ittoe_knee
- can never truly own an mp3 as it sits in a digital domain. I still buy vinyl and I love it. Maybe nostalgic, but also for the love of the mediumtoe_knee
