I gotta vote no. Digital format takes away part of the art of mixing which is creating a permanent listening experience in a certain order. If we go to file sharing format you just get a collection of songs to add to playlist. I am a purist I suppose.
Yeah. I'm with you and Lazy. I really enjoyed making the cover for my sleeve. And I already have the next three almost done.
lol I used to put in some effort into the cover art and I swear people dropped out because of it but I confess to getting lazier than usual on this one I just sent out.
Oh yea as noted below, I have completely given up on that angle, but bear no jealousy to the wonderful works of art our members put out. I feel gratitude that I do not have to do that and everyone is cool with it.At least I hope they are.

And I used to enjoy it too, but all of the battles with my printer have taken a toll. Feel lucky you get a cd.

One of the reason's I felt it was time to move on. That I was dragging the group down because of my political thoughts that I was expressing elsewhere on the boards and keeping new people away from joining, as has been evidenced with new members joining since I left. That and my commitment to vinyl just made the whole thing harder to do.
It was fun while it lasted and as a founding member I am happy to see it continue.
Cheers, y'all.
Well this Kurt is here. I just try to be a little more tolerant... like others "try".
I have a record collection, CD's like crazy, a tape deck, and old tapes....and they all sit idly by as I play digital music through my wireless speakers (HEOS) and car. RP gets a fair amount of play, but I'd get run out of my house if I canceled my Spotify account.
And you aren't in the RPMCC because....?
my favorite excuse was that i had an emotionally needy pet turtle that needed all of my spare time

Yea I will just continue to submit CDs. I am not a software or audiophile and technologically keep things very simple. The computer I burn and listen to music on is not even online and completely stripped down for better performance. If you guys do not want CDs anymore, I will have to sadly retire from the club.
Seems like CD's have the day. Keeping the RPMCC GREAT "again?" I'm old school so CD's are my preferred method.

Whatever comes along with the CD. If I submit to CDDB (I always do), the disc you get should mount up and be recognized by your player. I didn't do a cover image this time so it won't have that, but once upon a time, I did add that so that in your player it had my image. When you mount this disk image, your computer should identify it as a CD and there you go. SHOULD.
Seems like a lot of trouble to go thru and more data to moveâCD tracks are uncompressed. MP3s have metadata built in, no need to ping a server. But let's see what happens.
Most of my recent rips and downloads are not MP3, but Apple Lossless ALAC. Can everyone decode that?
Anyone can, once getting access to the files. Downloads will be stored 'forever' by your ISP, according to national laws.
In case you only meant file ID TAGS, there are no limits set with ALAC i.e. they're completely compatible with mp3 tagging.

Box.com has a 10GB free version that allows sharing and collaboration. 250mb file size max, though, so a disk image probably wouldn't fly.
50 GB on mega.nz. No file size max. Secure app.
Yes, very secure! Hahaha... mega.nz
Except that in most western countries, the copyright-mafia is going right after them, and their users (especially mega.nz).
Now you may reply, that you're using a 'secure' VPN. But what makes you think, that you can trust your VPN provider any one inch more than your local ISP, in case of legal prosecution of CPR infringement investigations (or any legally or morally worse matters, not hoped for)? History has shown more than once, that VPN providers have not stood by their claims of not keeping any logs, and instead readily provided them to the FBI and the like, when asked.
Most providers (ISP and VPN providers have to adhere to their national, and increasingly more often international legal standards, and readily apply to any such legal inquiries).
So, no reasons given to trust mega.nz... as 'safe'!
Especially not, when looking at Mr. Mega's personal history of flip-flapping when it comes to serving his own interests.
