Rockwell tracks that sound horribly ripped..

Postby British » Tue Jan 09, 2007 12:08 am

I heard that batch of Rockwell tunes(with a password) and with unmemorable songs, the audio quality was bad.

Now I'm listening to "Foreign Country" which is vastly superior, and the volume bounces all over the place.

Is this the tradition? Do we show our 'spect for his music by doing AM-music quality rips of his tracks. ?)

Hey, wouldn't it be great if all MP3s were ripped from the 100% best quality vinyl available? In '84 I had no idea that my records would become so extinct and that leaving it in my old bedroom stacked between other cardboard boxes would bite me in ass one day. Sometime you gotta take what's out there, bud. I can't wait for your personally polished & pristine edition of these tracks. By the way, I have the CD issue of Somedoby's Watching Me, which sounds perfect...Might you be interested?

Thanks for the posting, dana. Now how do I convert WMAs over to MP3s so I can stuff them on the ipod?

The only way I know around that is to burn them to CDR, then rip those back into your machine. After you do that you should be able to use whatever sync program you have to put them on an MP3 player. Hope that info helps!
