Comment Re:ArkivMusic or Naxos (Score 1) 228

Yes, my comment lacked specificity. I'm well aware of the difference between lossy and lossless music formats. My reference to buying "digital" is simply a reflection that it's hard to find Classical online for sale in any digital format (particularly if you're looking for a specific ensemble, conductor, soloist, or recording), much less in lossless formats.

My opinion is that lossy classical music is not worth buying at any price (with the exception of something like the Naxos streaming service I endorsed where you're not looking for permanent additions to your collection, but the ability to sample their entire catalog at will). If you must purchase music in a digital format online, buy FLAC or other lossless encoding method preferably (though options there are fairly limited), and at an absolute minimum, 320 kbps or lame alt-preset-extreme equivalent or better (and even this is hard to come by at shitty stores like iTunes or Amazon). Anything less and you are simply wasting your money.

Comment ArkivMusic or Naxos (Score 5, Informative) 228

First off, mp3 is simply not good enough for Classical. If you must buy digital, go for 320 kbps or lame alt-preset-extreme equivalent. As a giant Classical snob (I listen to Classical exclusively), the only way I buy music is physical CDs, and then rip to FLAC once it arrives.

For purchasing physical media, I enthusiastically recommend ArkivMusic. They have a pretty damn good selection, and a really good sorting method where you can browse by composer, conductor, orchestra, soloist, et al., in a very granular fashion. I too checked the local brick-n-mortar stores in Atlanta when the recent re-release of Golijov's Passion of St. Mark hit the shelves only to find no one carrying it. I ended up ordering it from ArkivMusic.

Naxos also has a pretty decent online presence. You can buy from their comprehensive catalog on their site, as well as pay a subscription fee for unlimited mp3/radio quality streaming off their site from their entire collection. While the performers on Naxos aren't always the highest quality, I'd be willing to bet that Naxos has the most comprehensive Classical catalog of any publisher on the planet. Considering the breadth of their collection, if you just want to try new music, the streaming subscription is a pretty damn good deal, poor to middling quality or not.

Allow me to acquaint you with Pete Stark (D-CA-13). He's been openly out as an atheist since January 2007. In addition to Stark, there are ten other current members of Congress who decline to list their religion, opening the possibility that some of them are, at least, closet atheists/agnostics.

EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - he did login once actually, before there was so much traffic
216.49.36.65/216.49.36.65 - that could be hazardeous to health
EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - no sisters

216.49.36.65/216.49.36.65 - course, for all that the camera manages to show, doesn't matter much
ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - hmmm...that must be leg....

tan7.ncr.com/192.127.94.7 - Alison, I am curious about the Java applet. Was it custom made or did you use something and modify it?
EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - in fact, i should be working right now
208-48-236-101.dsl1.ROC.gblx.net/208.48.236.101 - does your camera vibrate alison? ;)
ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - LOL

ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - studying?
EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - the camera doesn't vibrate. that would be irritating.
snowman.snowman.net/63.80.4.208 - Hrm, that was slightly annoying.
EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - studying.
snowman.snowman.net/63.80.4.208 - nutrape locked. :)
208-48-236-101.dsl1.ROC.gblx.net/208.48.236.101 - i beg to differ...i think you'd enjoy it
ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - depends where she put the camera
EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - if i could choose when to make it vibrate, cool. if others did, no way.
h00010223fa96.ne.mediaone.net/24.147.72.104 - i see no pic
ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - LOL

ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - *guffaw*
208-48-236-101.dsl1.ROC.gblx.net/208.48.236.101 - yeah but you don't put your phone down your pants do u?
24-216-29-167.hsacorp.net/24.216.29.167 - you could put a "vibrate" button on the page here
EPINEPHRINE.PC.CC.CMU.EDU/128.2.22.45 - hang on...
208-48-236-101.dsl1.ROC.gblx.net/208.48.236.101 - LOL

snowman.snowman.net/63.80.4.208 - The applet keeps being not nice to me. :)
ss02.nc.us.ibm.com/32.97.136.232 - set temp is down to 79.86
tan7.ncr.com/192.127.94.7 - Then who did write the applet? Did you get it from somewhere ready made, or got someone to write a custom applet?
208-48-236-101.dsl1.ROC.gblx.net/208.48.236.101 - that's so weird that they let other people control the temp in their house
aklaum.dsl.telerama.com/205.201.10.16 - In your pants or not it would be cool to see something.
adsl-151-201-232-106.bellatlantic.net/151.201.23 2.106 - he he.... mono
