• Re: What music do you guy

    From metalhead@TIME/VERT/ALKY to Deavmi on Sunday, December 04, 2016 05:59:00
    I like Cafe Music and yeah. Also classical music is nice.

    What does cafe music mean to you? What country are you from?

    Classical almost always sounds great! It's kind of distracting for me, when
    I'm concentrating on something. I listen to all kinds of jazz, and I always love it, but I'm getting a little sick of all the Christmas jazz that's been
    on the air lately.

    I went to a public university, and I attended as many of the student concerts as possible. It was always "classical" music, and I loved it. It was a very old, rustic school, so the venues were always interesting to look at, too.

    I attended a bunch of their plays too, and the music was usually more thrilling than the drama. There were musicians sitting near the front of the audience playing all the music to accompany the plays. Those were good times!

    I'm trying to convince my family to check these things out with me now, but they are all too attracted to pop, and also sick of my jazz playing all the time. One of these days, I'm going to get super-baked and go check out a concert at the local university here in Binghamton, NY.

    Assuming you live in USA (I don't know?) I strongly recommend checking with your local university's music department for a schedule of their concerts. Students are kick ass musicians, in my experiences. Tickets are usually cheap too, like $10 or less, and if it's anything like it was at my university,
    they will rock you!

    In the mid-90s, I used to play Mechwarrior 2 a bit (I was never that great at it). The game CD had some audio tracks after the data track, and one of
    the songs that always stuck with me was Pyre Light: https://youtu.be/gX4G1RJYTi8

    Side comment: I think it's interesting that the "go to site" for finding "free" songs/music is YouTube. When my kids starting doing this a couple of years ago instead of using sites like Pandora, SoundCloud, iTunes, etc., I was
    appauled at the waste of bandwidth: sending the video (often just a still photo
    or lyric slides) over the Internet/4G network to their phone and they're not even watching it (just listening)! But they don't know/care about wasted bits,
    just convenience. Now I do it too on occasion! :-)

    Very true. I ran my BBS for 10 years on a 32 MB drive, 2 32 mb drives, an 80 mb drive and a 320 mb drive and remember obsessing over saving space. I wish I'd kept archives from then.

    Keeping on topic, for a while I downsampled most of my music to something like 96 kbps, as I was listening to music mostly on a phone with little earbud headsets. I'm glad I kept the originals around because once I got a car that played MP3 I could totally hear the difference. Not so much through headphones.

    Yes. It only has to hold 1 frame and then instructions to repeat it -
    I'd assume something like that. Rather than uncompressed (or shitty
    encoding scheme) which stores all frames (even though they are the same)
    and plays them.

    etc., I was appauled at the waste of bandwidth: sending the video (often just a still photo or lyric slides) over the Internet/4G network to their phone and they're not even watching it (just listening)! But they don't know/care about wasted bits, just convenience. Now I do it too on

    Unless the image is changing a lot during the track, the waste is probably negligible thanks to video compression!

    Even lyric videos with static backgrounds are fun. Unless it's speed

    Oh, you missed the archiver wars of the last century, then! Religious wars over LHA versus ZIP versus ARC versus RAR, which one could save you 20kb...

    Nothing like trying to batch convert 5,000 batch files, update file_id.diz files, and update the file base databases with the new names, all to save 20 or 30 megs of space!

    You forgot ICE and ARJ!! :)

    Yes. It only has to hold 1 frame and then instructions to repeat it -
    I'd assume something like that. Rather than uncompressed (or shitty encoding scheme) which stores all frames (even though they are the same) and plays them.

    Exactly! If the video content moves, there has to be keyframes inserted,
    which takes up space/bandwidth.

    I wasn't brought up in the modem days really (atleast in the BBS days),
    so I guess I can see where your appreciation for bits comes from when dialing a number (possibly for a long time and far away; therefore expensive).

    I was brought up in the dial-up modem days but after some years we did
    get wireless (WiFi-based) Internet connection.


    i'm sure you can relate if you factor in data usage for a cellphone.

    I like Cafe Music and yeah. Also classical music is nice.

    Pink Floyd. :) At work listening to it right now. :)

    What is your best Floyd? The Meddle years and DSOTM for me, Love the Pompeii Concerts, they are now starting to pull them off youtube now that Floyd is Re-releasing a lot of their obscure stuff.

    Three of my favorites. A lot of folks I grew up with only seemed to really like "The Wall" and "Animals" - the darker stuff. I like it all, but my favorite was when you could pretty much tell that all of them were
    contributing somehow. So, I prefer the older stuff, like "Echoes." Wish is
    my favorite. Even thought they were supposedly starting not to get along
    then, they created something awesome with that one.

    Later-day critics have panned Atom Heart Mother, but I like that one a lot also. Relics, too.

    I've noticed that lately, but not sure why they're there.... Didn't used to be.

    I think it must be that you have SCFG->Networks->QWK->Hubs->VERT->Extended (QWKE) Packets set to "Yes" (which is fine), but you also have that option turned "Off" on your VERT QWKnet account. If you login with your QWKnet account (e.g. via Telnet) and turn enable the QWKE setting, that should fix it.
