Some CDs will include all the songs encoded with Windows Media, removing the the need for ripping. Sounds like it has the potential to stomp out competition from other formats such as MP3 & OGG. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-201-7320279-0.html --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a

You don't actually lose the audio data, right, just the structure of the CD (which can probably be captured with cue files anyway)? I've ripped CDs with pregap audio before, and I'm pretty sure it's not getting

Hi: Saw this in Edupage today. Grrrrrr. Geoff. From: EDUCAUSE <educause@EDUCAUSE.EDU> COPY-PROTECTED CDS QUIETLY SLIP INTO STORES Macrovision, in coordination with several major recording labels, has for several months been piloting new technology to prevent music consumers from copying CDs onto their PCs. The technology distorts CD recordings with a series of audible pops and clicks

Hi, I'd like to buy a set of CentOS CDs: 4CDs + 1 DVD. I'm on dialup, so this is the best solution for me. Plus, usually CDs from the store are better quality and tend to last longer in my humble experience. Normally I buy my CDs at ikarios.fr, but strangely, they only sell Centos 3.7 CDs. I mailed them about 2 weeks ago, but got no answer. Anyone knows where's the best place to get

Hey FLAC gang - Just thought you'd like to know CD Baby has switched to FLAC for archiving the 40,000 CDs we have in stock. Luckily HD space is down below $1/gig so we got a 6-terabyte RAID-5 box set up for about $7000. Got the FreeBSD boxes churning away night and day, ripping and archiving. I'll do a more formal press release for ya in a couple months as we're further along, but

Hi ! Audio CDs seem to be invisible to winecfg. I want to use dbpowerramp CD Ripper under Linux using WINE. CD Ripper doesn't see audio CDs, too. I am using WINE 1.3.33, Ubuntu 11.10 64bit. Ubuntu itself correctly identifies the CD drives, and the Audio CDs. The CD-Rom-Drives are internal ATAPI drives, and external Plextor drives connected via firewire. If I put _data_ CDs into those drives

Dear All, Currently i have using CentOS release 4.4 (Final) Linux. I am new in CentOS Kick Start Installation and I have prepared my own kick start file as per my knowledge. For your verification or analysis i have attached my kick start file Can any one help me how do i install my Application CDs from kick start installation or how can i add my Application CDs as Additional CDs

Hi, does anybody have a list of working Linux Live CDs with Xen Support which I can use in a Xen Domain? What I''m looking for is more or less something like Knoppix with Xen Support so that I can use the yet-not-supported hardware of my Ferrari 4005 in the Linux Domain regards Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org

This must be possible; not sure how to do it yet. :) After facing the thought of going through my cd collection for a 3rd time for re-encoding, it occurred to me that I should just flac the whole CD and add a cue sheet, and then back up to DVDs. That way -next- time I need to re-encode to any format, I can handle ~1/20th the discs, compared to my whole cd collection. :) Wondering if

> Actually, I was more interested in how you set up the disk array. I think we just set up 3ware IDE raid cards with 200-gig drives, all on 1 PC for now (3/4 slots) and seems to work OK. No case would fit them so it's just sprawled out on a desk away from everything else with 4 power supplies powering the drives. When it's time to buy more disks then I'll have to set up a

Hi Folks, I'm sure I'm speaking for more than a few (though possibly a minority) here. There's something of a hidden assumption that R users can readily download whatever they need from CRAN. Some of us are on narrow bandwidth dialup connections, so downloading large quantities of stuff is out of the question (e.g. at approx. 5min/MB, it would take over 2 days to download a single

Hi I did once a Flight Simulator 2004 install on OpenSuse but cannot do that again on my Ubuntu 10.04. I recall mount/umount each of the 4 cds but that's not ok anymore. Any help thanks

Hey, just wondering if CentOS 6 CDs isos are also planned, or if there will be only the DVDs ones...? Thx, JD

Hi All, Some of the discussion recently has touched on ripping one's own CDs for archival purposes. I've consistantly rejected the idea of doing this in my case for space and time reasons, and in the belief that commercially produced CDs when properly treated can be expected to have a very long life. However, I'm now questioning this assumption. I have a 2 CD set of "The

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience loading Half Life using old HL CDs instead of Steam. I have two old CDs - one form 1998 and one from 2000. I tried installing from the 2000 CD and it installed OK but when I tried to do the update from within the game it complained about lack of Internet access. When I start the game I get a black screen before the menu, and when I choose the New Game
