hello- i'm new to the list here, but the topic of FinalScratch caught my eye. There seems to be a lot of worry with people feeling threatened by new technology and the repercussions one such technology may have on the "vinyl" industry as a whole.
times are changing, but I myself am a true vinyl addict. there's nothing better than digging through bins and bins of old records and finding that one gem. and the same holds true for new vinyl. listening to all the new music coming out, and then owning it. there's really no words to describe it. which leads me to mp3's and such. in case anyone hasn't noticed, look at the number of CD djs that have just popped up over night. Napster, a new technology, spawned loads of overnight DJs who don't take the time to seek out the music...rather their form of seeking the music out is by them passing hot tunes to one another and also downloading them. One record i've been seeking now for years is a Number of Names 'Sharevari'. Can't find it. But do a search on Napster...or better yet, Audiogalaxy. It's there. But owning some MP3, is that special? It somehow makes it all less exciting downloading an MP3. FinalScratch atleast designed a form of technology that allows DJs to play the MP3 file the way they'd spin a record. And I have to say, that's clever. I'm all for "taking it to the next level" and things of that sort, but is MP3 technology, distribution, and so forth the Final Answer???? -Kered --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
