Quote:   I know Radiohead does. They mention it in the liner notes. Also, "Stadium Arcadium" sounds a lot better on vinyl than it does on CD. I don't know if this means it was recorded on tape, but it sounds better and that's all I really care about.   I do listen to some older stuff...

Quote: I didn't say that.   Bands still do record on tape, you know. Not every modern release is recorded digitally.   Are you trying to convince me to stop listening to vinyl or something?

I belong in the UK

  Quote:   Everybody has different reasons.   Vinyl only releases (such as MFSL) Sometimes when the CD sounds like crap the vinyl version is an improvement Artists like to release cool collectible vinyl versions of albums. Those are fun to own Also I just enjoy the format itself

I for one am going to be exchanging it at least. I would really like to complain to Capitol.   Also, yes I have a number of thinner records that sound miles better than these.

If they were standard 1xLPs, not heavyweight, and not advertised as "Audiophile Quality!1!!!!11", I wouldn't be as upset.   It probably has something to do with their "audiophile" manufacturing process.

I have always had bad luck with the Radiohead re-issues . They're crap.

Thanks Emooze!   I'll definitely be there. I could bring donuts and coffee I suppose.

Quote: NPR is great. I love the local station (WGBH). They always give straight news, and then throw in some interesting stories that aren't really news, but still educational/informative.   And yes, the number stations. UVB 76 is still pretty active. That's the only one I know...

Quote: Just read that to myself in a thick Canadian "Dan Aykroyd" accent. Gotta love those press interactions.

The only two that come to mind for me are   The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute Porcupine Tree - The Incident

I believe my first CD was Radiohead's Kid A

Quote: Well I just got mine in Boston today and I can tell you that is not the case.    

Quote:   Cash works for me, cards work for you. Everyone's different.   And I don't think it's a cultural thing. Most people in the states prefer cards as well.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth taking the trip to Boston to get this.   WHY does it have to be Tuesday at 1pm?

Quote: Truer words have never been spoken.

Quote: Same here. "Plastic" makes it nearly impossible to pay a friend, lend money, etc. If you ever get into a jam, cash is always more flexible. The only time I use my credit card is for online purchases.   Just my opinion. YMMV

That subwoofer thing... that might work temporarily. I tried something like that on my crappy "surround sound" one time and it actually did work. I was using a cable like the one you're describing.

That's easy for me. I don't live in NYC.   I can also run pretty fast. I carry a 4D Mag Lite in my car, although that wouldn't help me if I were on foot.

Quote: ALAC is Apple Lossless Audio Codec. You can convert the WAV files to ALAC if you'd like. Just use the built in encoder.   In iTunes... Edit > Preferences > Import Settings > Apple Lossless Encoder   Then just right click any file and select "Create Apple Lossless...

Every week I put away some extra cash in an envelope.   Being thrifty (cheap) helps too. I don't spend a lot of money on other things.

Quote: Is it just these 4 files?   Try a different media player and if it continues, a different computer. Also, try contacting iTunes and Appassionato for help.
