Regarding lack of liner notes on downloadable music, maybe labels will just add all of the info to some tag(s) in the digital format. Your player could pull up all of the tags automatically or keep them hidden unless you wanted to know all of the details. For a particular song, being able to see who...

Another alternative is inkjet or thermal transfer printers for CDs. You can get some decent looking small ones for one-offs and some cool auto-loaders for volume jobs. http://www.proactionmedia.com/cd_dvd_printers.asp The problem with the thermal transfer printers is that the ribbons are so expensi...

LightScribe CD laser labelling
Label your CDs by using the same laser in your CD writer, turning the disk over and burning the thin film on the top of the CD. I've had numerous problems with CD drives spinning paper labelled CDs. Especially in my laptop, the tolerances are just so small that spinning a labelled disk just makes th...

I LOVE it. I'd spin from it. I think the bass and rhythm guitar are anough of a rhythm section (not to mention the tuba on track 7). That said, I miss Hal Smith's percussion like in the Elkhart album :( I generally try not to spin songs more than 5 minutes, but there are always exceptions song-wise,...

Good to listen to or good to spin from or both? With your DJ hat on, would your recommend this album? If so, where can I find it?!Swifty wrote: I just bought an Orphan News Boys disc from Peter last time he was in Rochester, I will have to check on the title. It's not listed on Amazon but it's good.

I'm trying to rate all of my songs. I keep track of tempo, style, cue points and my own rating. However I'm finding it harder and harder to have such an objective one time rating for any given song. I have heard other DJs play songs poorly rated by me (at one point in time) at exactly the right time...

I've been using Napster2.0 (pay version) quite a bit lately. You can buy individual tunes for $0.99 a piece. For an additional $10/month, you can download practically every song they have on file to your computer to listen to. I will sometimes be interested in a particular artist and download everyt...
