Interesting discussion about Roon. I've thought about getting that at times for the simple reason of the expanded database and info. It would be interesting to know more about the recording and artists, but I'm so-so about the trivia aspect of music info, as in the drummer on this album played on another album and that saxophonist got sick during another recording in 1962 and threw up.
For the most part, I'm content to hear the music that is being played at the moment. This seems like a good moment to make a reading reommendation. My son put me on to a book by Lace Clayton (AKA DJ Rupture) called "Uproot -- Travels in the 21st Century Music and Digital Culture". While I have a limited appreciation of much the the music under discussion, it is a fascinating insight into everything from MP3s, Autotune and FruityLoop software to Congolese and Berber music from Africa, Cumbia Sonidara and pre-Hispanic Tribal music from Mexico and so on, along with some interesting comments on the business aspects of the music industry. Can't say I'll keep it as a re-read or reference book, but was certainly an interesting read. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106933 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
