Alkaline Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nah. I have a record player, and just listen to it like that.I commend you for upholding audio quality over convenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 No, but it's ridiculously easy to hook a turntable up to a PC and rip vinyl to mp3, thus making it available to be tagged on last.FM if you use it. I thought you would've been familiar with that practice what with you working with computers and liking bands that have tons of vinyl available?aye but last.fm is music wanking software, i think its a pretty neat thing with the reccomendations and the stats etci would never go to the bother of hooking up my record player to a computer just so i could show people how much good music i listen to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ive got a few LPs/7"s that I downloaded, and yes, vinyl-mp3 rips sound shite.as for bands which are probably unheard of on last.fm but are fucking ace, check out Token Tantrum. Swedish (I think) sludgey-crust. I'd provide a link, but there can't find anything. Their split LP with Affray is fucking ace though, as is their own record, Cancer of Life.

Alkaline Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 why would someone do that?It would probably just sound shit then by removing all the warmth from the low end.xConvenience. Why would anyone compress music so they could put it onto their hard-drive? I bet you have nothing on your computer at all do you.I know it sounds shite, I don't do it personally. I was just pointing out that it's do-able. And I'm more than familiar with how vinyl over CD/mp3 sounds, i sell the equipment that facilitates you using it.

Alkaline Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 aye simmer doon eh?just saying.Fair enough, but so was I initially Everyone knows vinyl is much better quality than CD of course. CD sounds sterile compared to the natural sound of a quality piece of Vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really buy many cds these days, unless I am blown away by itI just bought the Manatees album on CD, fucking cracking. Artwork is pretty sweet too.I can't be bothered with the ritualistic element that playing vinyl requires these days. Add to that the fact that it only seems to be snobby musical wankers that actually buy vinyl now and that it's 'cool' to buy vinyl, it all makes me less enthusiastic about it.I have some choice pieces of vinyl, but it'll stay that way. CD is much more user-friendly and a lot easier to store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems to be that musical wankers only buy vinyl.I appreciate that if something is only released on vinyl that is the way it will be bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 yeah I quite like M anatees, much better live i reckon. Was going to stick them on during the last bossssssssssk tour, but the "200 plz on a monday night" LOLZ put that one to an endmeh as for vinyl and music snobbery...i am a "music nazi" according to some twat who spends too much time in front of the mirror from YoOr F3aRz. im the first guy to admit that I think the music I listen to is ace (although last.fm might indicate otherwise) and that I think others should listen to it, im not reqally that much of a snob these days to say that they are idiots for not liking the same stuff though, too much of that these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Caz Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Right Alkaline you seem like a complete snobby prick regarding audio tech so is it possible to hook up my vinyl play to my computer just to listen to it through my speakers ?

Alkaline Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Right Alkaline you seem like a complete snobby prick regarding audio tech so is it possible to hook up my vinyl play to my computer just to listen to it through my speakers ?Cheers Depends on the connections (as in inputs, not outputs) on your soundcard. If there is a 3.5mm stereo socket or red and white phono pair connection then the answer is yes. You will need to know whether your current turntable has a pre-amp built into it or not. If it doesn't you'll need to buy one. Decent ones usually start at around 20ish (we sell one in Bruce Millers for 26) but you can pay a couple of hundred for them if you have a decent turntable too.As to what program you'd listen to it through on your computer, i guess it depends what sort of software you have pre-loaded or how you access the signal from your external inputs on your soundcard.

Fast Caz Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Right im lacking a pre amp but you say they're cheap and decent so i'll take your word for it and get one. I have the basic software on my computer just now a la windows media player 9 / winamp / itunes reckon any of them would work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
