yah man i must say.

before napster and mp3's. i bought the occasional cd. making sure i sampled it from a friend and liked the music.

after napster.
i dropped 2 grand on tables and a mixer, and bought close to 150 records now. mp3's allow me to figure out the music i like. and order it!!! friggin idiots. they should put low quality mp3's on their sites. low enuff that if someone ripped it and tried to play it they would sound bad. but put the mp3 up so that everyone can hear the song and decide if they liek it. even the online sites that have mp3's availabe to sample for 2min. i've heard songs that have a good climax and decient beginning. but the rest sucks, so whos to judge a 10min track in 2 min

Strange

I think you'll find this is the first noticeable step by electronic record companies putting a foot down on mp3 sharing...

Right now, it spreads the word of the music, definitely making these guys MORE money than they be making without the help of the tune being out and available to people all over the world.

Unfortunately for record comps, it's getting cheaper and cheaper to get vinyl pressed. Hell, if I have a clean rip on a CD, I can get an acetate for like 25-30 bucks. I can get killer tunes in my sets, without waiting for them to come out. However, if I choose to get a commercially available song pressed, I will always purchase it at a later date. Gotta respect the artists.

As more and more technology becomes available to more people though, the quality of music will be raised, and alot of these new artists will have their music available for free. So, companies like Black hole will have to get with the program, or suffer the consequences.

hmm, i don't think ppl pressing their own vinyls is a big problem... actually i have never heard of it, i might be wrong though...

I guess it is Black Hole Records right to control their products. Whether you like mp3's or not, It is there legal right to control websites from using their products. Tiesto likes mp3's but he either sold control of the company b)too bloody busy with deejaying to care or c)both. I know we don't like it but that is life. Anyways most of us have it anyways.

yah black hole is a good name for the record label.

cuz records are black. have a small hole in the middle. and suck in ur time and money. but seriously....

yah i think with all the new cd-dj stuff, and the ease of burning a cd. they are probably very worried about people making their own cds. i doubt they are worried about people pressing their own vinyll.


i bet companies hate cds and cd dj stuff. cuz i mean who would go spend like 25-30bucks to press a record when u can buy it for 10bucks. but in the meantime you can buy a 100$ cd burner, a 30cent cd, and steal from the company.

I found this in an interview

Q: You are so diplomatic, are you sure you are not Swiss (laughs)? Let's see how you answer this one: how do you feel about Napster?

Napster is great so long as they put out tracks on there that have been officially released. I don't really mind people downloading my music; I also see it as a compliment. And if you are a real music lover, you want to have the original CD anyway 'cause then you feel more connected to the artist.

So once Urban Train is officially released Blackhole won't mind.
