This page is about my Music Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mostly listen to my music via my computer, and also via Google Music either in a browser or from my phone. It’s all the same music, whatever I rip from CD’s or any other sound media I obtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Music is a great service which you can use with your own music, up to 20,000 songs uploaded for free. (I have a ton of music and am nowhere near to that limit) There is also an Unlimited service you can subscribe to, listen to anything THEY have. I like to keep it within my actual discovery cycles, whatever I have physically bought, I listen to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I use Last.fm to scrobble all my listen to. (Why? It’s fun, stats are fun!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I collect CD’s and other media formats, mostly CD’s though.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a “Vinyl” page which I created awhile back, and this page will be about my CD’s and other digital content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t have many purchased cassette tapes. I bought vinyl only in my teens, then got a few tapes, then got a CD player and stopped getting anything but CD, until recently when I started to get vinyl records again, here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guardian “First Watch” 1989 analog Cassette Tape: Hector Berlioz “Symphonie Fantastique” (Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Munch, conductor) 1988 analog Cassette Tape: Jude Cole “A View from 3rd Street” analog Cassette Tape: The Black Crowes “Shake Your Money Maker” analog Cassette Tape: I have some tapes that I recorded from the radio in the 1980’s which I might rip a few things off of some of them. —<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have some tapes from church services that I sang at, solo, duet, small group, and college group … I have started playing around with these, but they are more difficult, take actual “production” time in getting them to sound better, and they weren’t “professionally recorded” at all in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have gotten several artists albums on my computer to date, some in full, some in part, and will probably delete many of these and re-do them now that I have more experience in doing these conversions. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few Wham tracks. … that’s all so far. It’s been awhile since I did them. I have many records to go through, I really need a new hard drive before continuing on in converting all my vinyl to digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I actually .. to date .. 8-2006 .. have ripped more vinyl than above to my computer hard drive, but I didn’t write it down, not that it’s much, notably missing though are my The Cult records, which I don’t have fully ripped, but partially. I really want to get this done, but still don’t have a new hard drive. FWIW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This page is about my Music Collection.
