will everyone just stop...

[patrick]

what would everyone think if say the itunes music store lowered it's quality a step? would you all take it then too? there would be some apple apologists that would try to justify it though. i love apple, but i think they already sell their music at too low of a quality...

yes, these are not that expensive. yes, it isn't the end of the world. yes, it doesn't have anythign at all to do with the iraq war(i dont know who, how or where that was brought up, but it was in this or another of the threads somehow), but we did get two higher and then this one was lower...

i don't see a problem with raising an issue. obvoiusly no one is forced to buy this, but i'm pretty sure a few bought it before they knew that it was lower.

and i do realize it got fixed and it's better now... it was a mistake, but if it was intentional i would be mad

and i'm not mad, because i agree that the rr releases are more of an experiment, and that rick is probably not super conserned with the mastering/quality rather than the actual music, however i think that it was valid for some people to raise the complaint

[BrotherLovesDub]

would someone step up and prove that they can tell the difference between the 160 and 192 files. please. i want to know what equipment you're listening on. and please, don't say you didn't download it because it was too low quality, because you'd be proving that you didn't know what the fuck you were talking about.

i'll be right here waiting for you (with Richard Marx).

Have you ever tried to play an Underworld record on one of those old record players you can get at the library? The speaker is so close to the record that all that bass just makes it skip all over the place.

The cool thing is you can fit all of the RR on a C90.

I'll wait for the vinyl or the MiniDisc 8 track with BetaMax webcam broadcasts. Samples on 5.25" floppy disks. Flexi discs and wind-up music boxes.

Will someone confirm that the file's been updated so it's now 192?

And so everyone who wet their panties when they saw it was 160 can take their Depends off and put their thong back on?

I just purchased it and missed the whole panic attack on the bit rate...

My mint condition download is 192kbps with a file size of 44,152,041 bytes.

(not complaining

i bought it/downloaded it this morning, just tried re-downloading and it's still 160... will only new customers get the 192 version? *mock-whimper*

(i've been a latecomer to the riverrun series, only bought the 1st two last week... mainly because the live in tokyo cd set whetted my appetite to hear studio versions of those new tracks. been good to ride in the underworld wagon again!)

Sure, it's at 192 now, but there's not as many beats in this release as I like, and not enough clear vocals by Karl. I can really hear a difference there. When I pay out the ass for music, I expect it to have exactly what I want. I mean....I might not be able to pay my mortgage this month because of Big Sister, and I find it unlistenable as it is. Rick, Karl, I think you owe it to me to hop back in the studio and cater to my personal wants and needs.



The crap in these threads is un-freaking-believable. Yeah, the highest possible quality recording is always welcome, but for god sakes, people....




I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was, footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need

Oh yea-ay (hey-hey-hey, oooh)

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin', 'We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse'
Sing it to me, now

(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
You get what you need
Ooh baby, yeah, ooh

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin' in line with Mr. Jimmy
A-man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was 'dead'
I said to him

(You can't always get what you want) well no!
(You can't always get what you want) tell ya baby
(You can't always get what you want) no
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, mmm!
Mmm! you get what you need
Ooh yes! Woo!

(Instrumental & choir) Ooow-ooh!

You get what you need
Yeah!
Ooow, babe!
Ooh, yeah

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
Say it!

(You can't always get what you want) yeah!
(You can't always get a-what you want) ooo-yeah, baby!
(You can't always get a-what you want)
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

Ooh, yeah!
Ooh, baby!
Woo!

Ah, you can't always get a-what you want
No, no baby

You can't always get a-what you want
Tellin' you right now

You can't always get what you want, mmm!
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find, that ya
Get what you need
Oooh, yeah!

I'm tellin' the truth, babe

Ooow-ooh!
Ooow-ooh!
Ooow-ooh!........
(Instrumental & choir to end fade)

What i read in this thread like moaning, complaining & claiming is... un-be-lie-va-ble!!!

Not that long time ago, i wrote something about quite the same feeling i have now reading all this... so just to calm down a bit those who moan/complain/claim, get yourselves a chair & a glass of something nice that you like & read peacefully this (long, sorry...) post http://www.dirty.org/forums/showpost...&postcount=142




ps : ah... please change "ebay tokyo cd's" by "I'm a big sister @ 160kbps" and that'll be even better

[lowbit]

Glad to hear it's been bumped up to 192 kbps!

(However I have to say that the posts from the "shut the fuck up" faction on here are about ten times as irritating and offensive as any complaints that have been posted. Really out of line.)

[rayray]

it sounded great in my car all day - don't ruin it for me.

thanks for the early release - really like the absolute ending
and the absolute begining - different tone but similar,yeah?
