Register is reporting Sony trying to stop Beatallica. Sad. Their creations definitely top my list of mashups. These are the real deal; not just splicing together tracks with some EQ’ing and a beat-matcher – this is true parody composition and performance. Amazing stuff.
So, what does one do if in such disagreement [...]
From IEEE Spectrum:
Worldwide copies of [X] sold in 2003:
DVD-A: 400,000
SACD: 1,300,000
LPs: 1,500,000
Interesting how such old technology is still so popular. SACDs have been around for a few years now…
Recent email exchange I thought I’d share:

Rob Glaser answers ten questions about Real Networks, Real Player, Harmony, etc.

Amazing.
Even better if you can watch them.
Thought I would share this exchange since Sony’s 20GB HDD player has been in the news lately. First, my original email:
While it’s true there is no standard format for compressed audio, I think the following “slide” is telling:MP3: Windows, Mac, Linux — Free!
AC3: Windows, Mac, Linux — Free!
AAC: Windows, Mac, Linux — Free!
WMA: Windows, [...]
PBS Frontline has an interesting interview with music legend David Crosby. Choice quote:
I think the only way to sell records that I know about now that does look really, really, really promising is iTunes. I think Apple is the smartest company in the country, and they are doing something brilliant.
Nooooooo!
Phish is calling it quits after this summer. Boo hoo :(
