    Re: Music while building —James Brown
   In lugnet.general, Eric Sophie writes: One of the CD's I've got that's recently been playing a lot while I build is the soundtrack to "The Dig" computer game. I'm not sure who does the music for it, but it's fantastic incidental music. That, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)
   
        My Opus One (Was: Music while building) —Tore Eriksson
     Off topic: Here's a piece of music that I've written and performed. There was a drum track, but I'm not quite happy with it, so I excluded it.

Definately, let's see I have aroun 250*60 = 15,000 minutes (250 hours), that would translate into roughly 10 days, if my math is correct (working 8 hours + pushing carts for 5 hours makes for a long day, so my math may (...)

         Re: Music while building —Frank Filz
     (...) I've thought about getting a big changer for this reason. The problem I have is that my collection is something like 800 CDs. I'm also concerned how long the player will last. I was replacing portable CD players every few years (and right now (...) (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

     (...) Well, I just got mine in September, but it has been running fine so far. It is a Sony, a brand which I have had little trouble with so far. We shall see how long it lasts.

         Re: Music while building —James Brown
     (...) I've got a Sony 300, also since about last fall, and like Scott, I've never had significant problems with Sony stuff. The thing that's neat about the 300-changer (not that we need this) is that you can chain up to three of them together, to (...) (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

         Re: Music while building —Frank Filz
     (...) The problem for me would be that I'd definitely need three (and depending on just how many of my albums are double CDs, I might have to trim to fit in 3, I suspect I'm only about 800 CDs though, I've got about 700 albums).

         Re: Music while building —John D. Forinash

        Re: Music while building —Steve Bliss
   (...) I hope this won't be much of a debate: there's nothing illegal or even gray-area about the MP3 format, unless you use an encoder that infringes on the relavent technology patents. Legally, there's no difference between copying your CDs to (...) (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Music while building —Eric Joslin
   (...) Exactly. How can a format be illegal? This kind of half-informed speak gives me hives. I used to watch a lot of CNN, and during the Napster flap they would talk about how users downloaded MP3s from the Napster website. Argh! eric (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
