looks like satellite radio is just another example of
overcharging consumers for a substandard product.
Sorry for those who get defensive on this one. I dont
know if you own stock in xm or something (You should
really buy stock in Sirius), but it would be nice to
actually be pleasantly surprised when spending money
on something you  used to get for free. 

Tom

Hello, 
I taped Jeff Beck Tokyo shows (July 2.3 &5).
I used Sony TCD-100 and DSM6S, excellent sound.
If someone is interested in DAT trade, Please send me your lists for a 
quick trade.
Thanks       Hiro

What's so great about FM radio?

1. The audio frequency is capped at 15.4 khz - this is worse even than a
128kbs mp3.
2. The music played on FM is usually from a compressed source - modern
radio stations have their libraries on disk in compressed format.  I
wouldn't be surprised if the source audio for XM and typical FM stations
is identical, probably 192 kbs mp3.
3. FM stations typically "treat" their signal to give it more "oomph". 
This means boosting the low end and using dynamic compression.
4. Static, stereo fading, and other artifacts that a digital signal won't
have.

Hey everyone.

I have been taping for a few years now, but have never taped in the rain 
(going stealth).  I was wondering if people could comment on if this is 
safe, how to keep your equipment & mics dry, etc.  In additon, if there is a 
safe way to do this, any suggestions on where to put your mics so they pick 
up the best sound w/o getting wet.

Or if it's best not to tape, and to just enjoy the show if it's raining, 
please let me know.

Feel free to email me at terrysingla@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance.
Terry
