Comments on: Re-doing your music library http://dylanhicks.com/blog2/archives/85 Still the Official Website of Dylan Hicks, despite content usurption from his wife Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:11:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Alex http://dylanhicks.com/blog2/archives/85#comment-52 Wed, 12 Apr 2006 00:12:52 +0000 http://dylanhicks.com/blog2/archives/85#comment-52 If you incode your music as AIFF files, there's no quality loss, no file compression, so it's the same as a cd. Bose has a new system out in which you insert your cds, and a large hard drive copies and stores your music, compression free. But it only holds 300 cds-worth of songs. If I had a big enough hard drive to store all my music compression-free, I would sell my cds, but I have at least 1000 cds. I don't really have an attachment to the physical object, but I would definitrely cry if I lost my music collection, the actual music. I'm sorry that happened to you, Nina. I also posted to Dylan's CD filing blog. I strongly believe in filing A to Z. I don't do genres.

And it made me cry both times. I hear they have these things called external hard drives to help with this situation. Maybe someday I'll get one. By the way, I don't know you, Nina, but Dylan used to work with our kids at OLP. If he ever wanted to know what was up with them nowadays, you could check out the blog I just started.

Lots and lots of Tom Waits. All our Loudon Wainwright III is on LP, but my favorite song is on <em>The Squid and the Whale s</em>oundtrack, which is a great all around CD. (Any soundtrack with The Cars has to be, right?). And Damian (Jr. Gong) Marley has a great newish album, with two horrible songs (the lyrics), so that's going on - minus the two offenders. Ok, enough, I need sleep. Here I am burning Ella Fitzgerald, and I forgot about Tom Waits. Lots and lots of Tom Waits.
