High resolution streaming is coming? Quite impressive...

I found Daddy Cool. Not sure if it's a remix though. The one in my memory sounds different.

Thanks for that. you've reminded me of such great classic !

Were you thinking of Boney M/Daddy Cool? I meant Eagle Rock/Come Back Again type of Daddy Cool.

I hate remixes.Especially dance remixes.

Hey Jake - is Napster available to Australian mortals?

That's where Napster comes in, it's brilliant. Mind you it costs about $15/month. Couldn't live without it now.

Cheers,
Jake

Okay, so this might sound like a silly question, but from the Grooveshark website how do you determine the bitrate of the song?

There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people.

I would also like to know the answer :-)

Hi there,

In my case I was just guessing - ie if it sounds like crap it's probably over compressed.

According to the FAQ they stream at 192kbps MP3.

Yep. See I told you. Stupid people. Heh. :-D

Hi there,

Not understanding your post, this stupid person would like you to expand on it and explain exactly what you mean.

Please.

I'm in favour of remixes, but only in certain circumstances. A careful remix of an older recording can often yield worthwhile sonic benefits, it seems to me. I'm talking here about a remix which is done with an ear to the original recording as a reference, so as to maintain the integrity of the recording. I'm not talking about a dance club style remix, where the recording is turned into something entirely different (yuk!).

A couple of good examples of what I mean are the remixes of The Who's Tommy, and Deep Purple's Black Night on their anniversary edition CD of In Rock. The good thing about this last one is that the CD also contains the original single version of Black Night, so it is possible to compare them. The difference in sound quality and dynamics between the two versions is quite remarkable.
