Thx, but no itunes ??

[Ralf11]

yes!! After an untold amount of work, why not do more?

[Ralf11]

Thanks again for all this effort.

 

I hope you will test iTunes against some other software, free, open, or not.

[Ralf11]

iTunes is of interest b/c it is so common, and a consumers may well wonder if any features of free software (open source or not) will make it worth their while to change players

 

similarly, consumers are targeted with advertising from companies saying that their product will improve SQ over iTunes and should thus be purchased - IIRC, Audirvana is one (or something with an "A")

 

that's my interest anyway

 

based on the amount of trouble you went to, you must be retired -- hence, my "offering" another expanded project to you...

[Ralf11]

does your band use audiophile cables on the guitars?

[Ralf11]

I'm not sure which one is you...

 

Do you guys ever use a Hammond B3?

 

(I ask because as Berry Goldaqua once put it "major THD in the service of euphonic music is funky" - or something like that)

 

 

[Ralf11]

related question - what is the history of the Blues in Philly?

[Ralf11]

Thanks - I've been thinking recently about cities in the US and their musical contributions...
