I replied trying to tell him to cool it a bit. I said were just having fun with the situation. I also said since we stopped the DU on his request, to stop harassing me and the rest of the MX members.

[QUOTE=Darkness;15394478]I got another e-mail from our friend.



Sounds like he doesn't take kindly to our humor. Oh well.

My antivirus also reported a blocked virus as soon as I opened the e-mail... that's never happened before. Better not have been from him.[/QUOTE]

Ouch, I am surprised I have not gotten an email, considering I ran the whole thing. But yeah, it's gone, dead, done.

yeah dont worry Luc, i was cool with the guy and agreed to not share anymore and he was understanding. i like the bands that his record label supports so im not too upset about this. i just want december to come so i can go on my hawaii vacation

It seems like the less talking you do to him, the better.

Yeah. Everyone needs to just chill for now and stop worrying and contacting him. I'm afraid any further contact is just going to worsen the situation, despite your intent.

So he's just sitting reading our replies here on the forum now?
Or did you email him

[QUOTE=Jom;15394511]It seems like the less talking you do to him, the better.[/QUOTE]

I think I'll take that advice from now on actually, if he responds again anyway.

I did reply to him, but he didn't reply to my reply when he sent me the 2nd e-mail. My first one basically said I understand and we've stopped. In my second one I told him to read my first one before he over reacts again.

cease and desist and then stop talking to the guy.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15394528]cease and desist and then stop talking to the guy.[/QUOTE]

Done and done. :)


Not to mention did he ever pick on the wrong person, I haven't uploaded anything for the DU in about a year, nor have I downloaded anything in about 4 months or so until just this past week. The posts he must have gotten my e-mail from were my first in the thread. :lol:

So Who Wants To Go Buy Some Albums With Me?

Lets go! I'll drive to the closest nice record shop, IE Seattle.

Hahaha yeah, the only store here is FYE, which sucks.

I'd have to drive to an HMV that's about 45 minutes away.

Hey Austin, do you think there are a lot of hot girls in Finland? >_>

Well I just googled "Finnish girls" and was quite impressed. Go figure!

Did you send the payment for the Poropetra?

**** I forgot, I will right now.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15394528]cease and desist and then stop talking to the guy.[/QUOTE]

Done, the only thing I said was a very short reply to his second message.

I said:

"No excuses are being offered. (in response to him saying that he has heard every excuse in the book and has an answer) To be honest, I have never heard of any of your artists."

Hopefully that's it with this situation.

Now I have to find a subtitle file so I can watch Irreversible.

[QUOTE=Permanent Solution;15394461]I guess that now if people want to start hearing more new metal they'll just have to start listening to my radio show! <_<[/QUOTE]

or learn the glories of blogsearch.google.com

Guys, don't respond to the guy's e-mail. Never acknowledge that you've done what he's accused you of doing.

listening to the new Radiohead, it's okay so far.

I just put it on. First track is cool so far.

lol 160kbps

That reminds me, I'd like to ask you: I've been ripping at 320 VBR, but you said 320 is a waste of space. Would I be better off just ripping at 192 VBR or something like that?

[QUOTE]I just put it on. First track is cool so far.[/QUOTE]
i didn't like the first couple of tracks, but it picks up in the middle.

You mean CBR? Or is 320 the average your VBR ripping is set to?

I rip CDs using iTunes, I have the bitrate set to 224 and VBR set to the highest quality.

Hmm, I don't really have a thorough understanding of the whole thing. I'll just do what you do, lol.

I rip using Exact Audio Copy, it rules. there is an excellent guide here: [url]http://www2.firehose.us:81/~jiggafellz/eac/index.html[/url]

and here's a nice graph: [url]http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/images/2/2c/Lame-chart-2.png[/url]

I rip in V0.

I used to rip in V0 but my EAC started, er, stopped working. iTunes organizes my **** anyways.

So far my only comment is that this album lacks a thematic arc that most/all other Radiohead albums have. It feels like a collection of songs.

Plus another compliant is that it is a Radiohead album.

Yeah, I like Radiohead though.

Shiiiine on you craaaaaazy diamond!

wish you were here is soooo good.

320 is the maximum frame size in the mp3 standard, to get an average of that would be pretty hard.
Just go with Apoc Raids guide, I use V2 and it sounds fine to me.

[QUOTE=Cain;15394457]
So over the past week I've bought a Novembers Doom, a Nightwish, and an Alter Bridge album. It's been fun, but yeah, probably not a good idea to do this any more.

[/QUOTE]

Which ND did you get?

Ugh Radiohead.

I think the album is good :)

Hopefully the 2nd disc has some electronic elements like Kid A

Kid A has always been my favorite Radiohead.

All about The Bends and Pablo, Honey.

i havent listened to the new radiohead yet, but it is in my to get list when it officially is released on cd. ive been listening to Amnesiac a lot lately

I think it came out yesterday.
