From: "Dan McCarthy" <mccar28@attbi.com> Subject: FS: Beyer MV-100 Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 19:55:54 -0400 Hi, I am selling my Beyer MV-100. I do not use it anymore since I picked up a different pre. So I was thinking it would be better in someone else's hands then just sitting in the box. If interested or have questions about it send an email to mccar24@hotmail.com. Thanks! -Dan
From: "Ernie Ensign" <ensign@core.com> Subject: Dat to CD problem.... Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 23:36:41 -0400 Ok, I've transfered one of my dats to my hard drive but am left with a dilemma, how can I keep the show intact without breaks in between songs, yet have the tracks numbered on the CD, with a new number on each track... As opposed to just one big wave file, that's just labeled track one.... Is there a way... right now I'm using a soundblaster extigy card, with their software... The sony vaio came with soundforge... but it doesn't appear to be any way to use that to create multiple tacks.... My other option is to break the show up into individual tracks, and I would like to avoid that if possible... Thanks in advance... ernie
From: "Andy Swinburnson" <swinburnson1@attbi.com> Subject: Portland Taper Needed - Everclear, Death Cab for Cutie Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 20:39:39 -0700 Looking for someone in the Portland, OR area that might be hitting the 'Bite of Portland' festival Aug. 30th. or someone who might be willing to. Everclear is playing, but I'm mostly interested in the second band 'Death Cab for Cutie'. Alien Crime Syndicate is the first band on. Tickets are $25 through fastixx.com. Please email me off list if you are going, or could possibly go. I can help out with $$ or whatever... -Andy
From: "Erik B" <erikb33@bellatlantic.net> Subject: ISO: The Gotan Project Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 00:38:42 -0400 If anybody out there has anything besides their excellent album, please drop me a line. I saw them in London in April and was mesmerized. thanks, Erik erikb33@bellatlantic.net
From: "Hance, Bill" <BHance@BroadViewNet.com> Subject: trading tickets and membership fees Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 08:59:04 -0400 In my opinion, if you sell a ticket for more than the ticket cost, it's scalping. If you paid for a Sam Goody membership, or spent $10 on the toll call to get through to TicketMaster, or used up your free minutes, or spent an hour of your time driving to the ticket master window in the process of purchasing the ticket, those are the costs you unfortunately absorb if you find yourself unable to go to the show due to a schedule conflict or an unplanned circumstance. To pass them off as part of the cost of the ticket is shady at best. -Bill
From: "Arnold, Joseph" <Joseph.Arnold@SDMS.USA.XEROX.COM> Subject: ISO:Tool Buffalo 8/23 Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 09:13:24 -0400 Hi All, What a show, got about 10th row, PA was LOUD. Not 100% happy with my tape, just looking for another source of this killer show. Anybody got a nice one? I also did Syracuse in the stands with mixed results. Thanks, Joe
From: "Thomas Avallone" <tav2367@msn.com> Subject: Sheryl Crow Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 13:27:07 +0000 I just returned from the East Coast, and I have the following Sheryl Crow recordings ready for trade on cdr: * 8/11/02 Tinley Park, IL * 8/15/02 Virginia Beach, VA * 8/16/02 Camden, NJ * 8/17/02 Mansfield, MA * 8/18/02 Manchester, VT I also have '1' TRAIN opening set from 8/16 Camden NJ. Looking for other newer Sheryl Crow recordings if all possible. See website for details: www.tav2367.20m.com Also, tickets for Sheryl Crow at the HOB in Chicago went on sale while I was away, and I got shut out. The show SOLD OUT within minutes. If anyone has any connections for "3" tickets, I certainly can use them.

From: "Bob Siegl" <kindnation@hotmail.com> Subject: stones fan club and ticket price whine Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 14:05:04 +0000 I signed up for the "Get (no) Access" ticket offer for the stones. The server crashed immediately and very few tickets were purchased for the hometown that day. I paid something like $60. If I got tickets and didnt want them, I would most certainly want to recoup the money spent for get (NO) access. If the buyer did not want the tickets, I would politely ask him or her to look to purchase Rolling Stones tickets for face value shortly before the show from some other kind soul. ps - i dont see myself using my 60$ membership any time soon. they have not sent me squat in terms of getting access to anything worthwhile. Would someone like to buy my Get Access membership? I will sell it for $40. thats like 33% off! what a bargain. The grim reality is - if you want to make up front tapes, one must often engage the dark side and scalp tickets. agencies often control ticket outlets and venue box offices, and get the first pull from the machine. I often pay extra for the right seat and we all know the seat you sit in is every bit as important and the rig you run.... and dont give me any crap for being a "stealth" (god i'm sick of that term) taper or i'll scream. adios bob _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
From: Jay Lyons <jayl@fdn.com> Subject: MD files > a Mac?? How to? Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 11:56:12 -0400 Hi, An electronically challenged friend asked me if I knew how to get Minidisk files into a Mac computer. Well, since I have a pc and only use dat's I really couldn't help him other than to tell him to try a google search. In the meantime, I thought I'd try and pick some brains over here for him. Can anyone help with this? I'm expecting to have to transfer/convert the MD format(? which is what?) into a wave file. Could someone point out the s/w needed and methods used? Will it take a DFT from Core Sound perhaps? All this for a Mac and I don't know which os, sorry. All the best, Jay

From: Keith Bode <t.tunakebo@verizon.net> Subject: CRC vs md5 Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 10:25:12 -0700 just a quick gut feeling on my continuing doubts. If there are more bits in a md5 than a CRC it seems te likelyhood of a data colision would be increased not decreased. Also, if a CRC is a hexadecimel checksum, it seems that any adding of samples, or removing of samples would absolutely change the checksum results. I would think that a CRC is a simpler algorithim, as it has far fewer symbols, so why wouldn't simpler be as good to simply verify accuracy?

From: Keith Bode <t.tunakebo@verizon.net> Subject: FS: Brand New Sennheiser E825S microphones Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 10:34:09 -0700 I screwed up big time yesterday on an auction on ebay. I am setting up a live recording setup to record bands, miking everything seperately. I want to be able to record in either a make sift studio or live, with commercial CD quality. These ae not mic's you would use to do an auience recording, they are vocal and possibly used to mike an amp. They have switches, as some don't. Anyway, I have 4 to sell, and I can pass them along at what I paid which is dirt cheap for these microphones, $72 shipped. A friend uses one to sing and his feeling is it blows away the Shue SM58.

From: ISTEIN2@aol.com Subject: Lost Oade 7 Pin Digi Cable at Jones Beach Allmans Show! Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 13:37:32 EDT The subject title says it all. I lent out my SBM-1 to another taper along with an Oade cable (which I plugged into the SBM-1 myself) at the Jones Beach Allman Brothers show on 8/13/02, and didn't get back the Oade cable when my friend went over to pick up my equipment. The taper who I lent the equipment to told me that he never wound up using the SBM-1 and doesn't know what happened to the cable. He checked his equipment bags and couldn't find it. My guess is that some other taper looking for a patch used my cable to get himself a digital patch (instead of an analog patch), and then packed up my Oade cable with his DAT deck and left the venue. There were about a half-dozen tapers patching out of that rig, and it could have been any one of them. All I know is that I lent a perfectly good (and extremely rare now) Oade cable so that another taper (and who ever patched out of him) could get a better quality recording than they would have without an A/D converter, and I'm missing my equipment after the show. I'm not accusing anyone of taking it on purpose. It's totally possible that everyone just packed up their equipment quickly, and the Oade cable wound up in someone's bag by mistake. I see stuff like that happening all the time at shows when everyone is packing up their equipment fast. If you happened to be patching out of Michael Springer's rig at that Allmans show, and now have an Oade cable (that you didn't have before the show), please contact me by Email. I'd be happy to reward you for your honesty with a bunch of shows on CD that you probably don't have. By the way, I understand that those who taped this particular Allmans show at Jones Beach have tons of wind on their tapes. All the other tapers I know (and there were at least a dozen of them that I spoke with) have wind all through their recording. That includes those who patched out of Michael Springer. I have about the only recording with no wind to speak of on my recording. It must have been the wind screens and mics that I used (AKG c568BE shots), but my recording is clean of wind. I'd be happy to throw in this Allman show with a bunch of other shows to the person who happened to find my Oade cable. Thanks for the bandwidth! I'll be happy to send out this Allman Brothers show to a few others who contact me quickly. Yours, Ira Steinkohl (ISTEIN2@aol.com)

Every file subjected to this algorithm would give either a 1 or a 0. Any file would have a 0.5 chance of collision. Add a bit and you get a 0.25 chance of collision. Every bit, n, added decreases the odds agains collision by a factor of 1/n^2.

MD5 was designed to be cryprographically "strong" in that you cannot (with any reasonably concievable amount of time and computing power) manipulate a file to make it give the MD5 you want (i.e. you can't forge an MD5 signature). For all intents and purposes, it is a unique signature for that and only that file. CRC can easily be manipulated but I can't see that there could be anything to gain by doing this to a CD track. I suppose as a joke, you could take a Brittany Spears song, twiddle a few bits so that it gives the same CRC as Scarlet Begonias, and substitute it on a disk, but that would be too cruel. -- Wayne D.

From: Keith Bode <t.tunakebo@verizon.net> Subject: Re: CRC vs md5 Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 11:15:48 -0700 Perhaps you've studied more Math and Statistics than I have, but I do remember that if the odds of something happening are 1 in 2, then if you do it 50 times, the odds of it happening on any given occasion remain 1 in 2. As simplified, if you flip a coin, the heads/tails odds are 50/50. If you flip the coin 1,000 times it is likely your results would be 500/500, or damn close. Perhaps calculus has different computation, but I never took Calculus. I was in an advanced algebra class once, and the professor wrote some equation of the board. I remember him saying "Assuming that......" and proceeded to say somethng that didn't make sense. I said "That assumption and equation doesn't make sense". he replied, "Yes, but assume it" end of math classes for me, until I had to take Statistics 25 years later. Keith "Wayne D.
