| say this on another site and wondering if ne1 nos anything about it and if its true "10th ANNIVERSARY ESSENTIAL MIX DVD-ROM BOXED SET. ------------------------------------------------- To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Radio One Essential Mix Show, a 20 disc DVD-ROM set will be issued towards the end of this year. The boxed set will contain the complete set of every Essential Mix show broadcast over the 10 year history of the show, in high-quality MP3 format. The edition will also contain an informative booklet detailing the history of the show and its world-wide influence on radio broadcasting, and interviews with the DJs, producers and record labels that were so crucial to making the show a groundbreaking success." |
I have heard the rumour too, it would b so good if they did release it
hmm 10 years. Essential mix is weekly= ~510 essential mixes.. 2 hours each = ~170mb @ 192kbps = 86700mb/4700 = 19 dvds.. Considering the fact that factory dvds are ~twice as big it would be ~10 dvd set...
dont think its real..
I can only ever see this exising on paper ... imagine the licensing hell it'd be trying to sort out the tracks for all those essential mixes!

A DVD is capable of containing more then 4.0 GIGS. Also, they won't have to license the sets, since the DJ's probably are on a contract of broadcasting the sets and everything, which will also probably give the right to the radio to record. Maybe licensing for selling it.. which it won't be that hard. The DJ's got paid for doing the mix in the first place soo.. I don't know. It can be true, maybe not ALL the mixes but the better/ best ones to date. I hope it's true.
I don't know about the legal BS, but i hope they do it.
Me too... oh that would be so great... I would end like that 
Yea that would be great if they were to actaully do something, but i have hard time believing they would have every EM, but they did say 10 disc set, but still i think it would be a selected few. i SAY SOME ONE WRITE RADIO 1 AND ASK!! O wait i could do that if i werent so ahhhh im tired of typing.........
I SAY BRING IT ON !!!
as amazing as this would be, its most probably bull shit 
actually i am trying to do this thing...burn essential mixes (and digweed kiss fm shows) to dvds
i am done with EM: 1993/1994/1995 and 2002 all burned on dvd and i think i will be done by the end of may maybe (prob is the ftp i have is slow and gives me only 10k/s )
with kiss 100 shows i have only 2002
that would give me a big reason to buy my first dvd.
1. A standard single layer DVD holds 4,590MB (NOT 4,700MB, as they market it as 1000k = 1MB instead of 1024k = 1MB). I am actually doing some professional DVD authoring and everything states it can only hld 4.35GB and they give some buffering reason or something. But overburning is possible.
2. I actually don't know if it's possible to create break points on Data-DVDs, so I don't know if making dual-layer discs is possible. At least I haven't used any Data-DVD software that allows it. Dual layer might be something specific to DVD-Video discs.
3. With that, upwards of 20DVDs would be the the right range. If dual-layer is possible, it would be a lot cheaper. Per disc it only costs about 5-10 cents more to burn something dual-layer compared to single-layer. So (going by the average mass-manufacturing DVD costs in the US), it would cost around $10US to manufacture 10 dual-layer DVDs (although it will probably need 11 by the time this comes out. Dual-Layer DVDs hold 8.85GB, not exactly double of a single-layer). It would cost around $18 to create 20 single-layer DVDs.
HOLY CRAP!!! A couple questions:
How much would they sell this boxed set for?
How the hell could anyone ever listen to ALL of that music? I mean around 2 hrs/week, 52 weeks/year from 1993 -> 2002 = 1040 hours!!! That's like 43 days worth straight .
This brings me to my other point: This would be a very good collector's item, how much do you think it would be worth in say 10 or 15 years?
I want all the oakay EMs back in the day
