  1. After posting in the other thread, I just had to listen to the whole thing. P.D.Q. Bach: Music for an Awful Lot of Winds & Percussion by Peter Schickele (1992) https://album.link/i/1615812383 (it is on more services - needs to be updated) Example: I remember when I got these records back in the day and impressed that they were from Telarc. Good recordings. RIP P.D.Q.
  2. aw.. RIP indeed Peter... (PDQ) Still music that makes me laugh out loud.
  3. Watching these guys do this thing...

    Geologists are crazy. Oooo volcano - lets run towards it with a bucket and a lava grabber. But they are not even wearing the big spaceman silver lava suits.

  8. Based on this: This The Journey Matteo Mancuso 2023 https://album.link/i/1680034607 Example: Jazz, Rock, Fusion, the album covers a lot of ground. Mostly I think of it as a jazz guitar instrumental album. At least that is why I would return to it for future listening. I liked the interview to see his techniques, which are really cool, before listening. Techniques only matter to me when I can hear them in the final product, which now I can, and I am not sure I would have before. Look forward to future growth as a writer.
  9. For Swinging Livers Only (Live, 1964) Allan Sherman 1964 https://album.link/i/1261677495 Example:
  10. ^^ I have had that on the top of my queue for a couple week now and have been listening to it on and off, but didn't get around to posting yet, great minds. I really liked it, as well as her 2019 release that I have been listening to as well. When You're Ready Molly Tuttle 2019 https://album.link/i/1449784671 Example: Pretty close to perfect little songs, and they can play...
  11. Listening and watching - Chris and Aoife.... 🤓
  12. Sorry to hear about Uncle Jack.. Take care of you and yours Brent. RIP...
  13. Kites Submotion Orchestra 2018 https://album.link/i/1617785253 Example: Been enjoying this album. Some good engineering and lots of listening treats. Example will be a test track for future use.
  14. Was/is a big deal, I leaned/used Pascal, Modula and Modula-2 at various times. Oberon was too new for me to learn during my learning phase, with C making the big push at the time. RIP Niklaus
  15. have a great birthday - cheers
  16. Cheers knucks - happy birthday.
  17. Another pretty good player...
  18. I'll bite, why would they? 🤷‍♂️
  19. Truly a Guitarist's Guitarist.
  20. Thanks, I did see that in the FAQ - they seem to directly recommend it. I thought about starting from scratch - but I have around 500 albums in my queue, so I will probably transfer. I don't really use playlists. I am an old school hip young person, I listen to albums. For Ric - Qobuz has fewer genres - but a lot of the TIDAL ones I don't really use. Neither have Bluegrass at this point. Qobuz: TIDAL:
  21. Thanks Peter, that is good to know. A trade show use case is a great test for what I experience. I would think that a 30 second buffer would be enough, but I like the fact that both the mobile and desktop versions of the app can buffer and download, if needed. I have not found a reliable code yet, so 'yes' I would be interested, but not critical. I am getting close to signing up. Please and thank you. I downloaded Qobuz on my devices, and setup an account, but I have been just playing with settings and interface so far. Also checking content. Looking at 'new release' from TIDAL and Qobuz for Classical and Jazz to start with. There is a good amount of overlap, but definitely some missing items on each side. Some of it is when it was released and when it was added. Some things show up with additional scrolling. No deal breakers here - (other than maybe Laufey=Jazz) If this does not work out - next step - personal satellite.
  22. Thanks again. I do think I will give Qobuz a try, to see if their buffer can bridge the gaps in my downtime. I did see lots of reports of them sounding good, and lots of hate for TiDAL MQA debacle.
  23. I did try that when I first got the iFi Audio Micro iDSD Signature Finale Portable Headphone Amp and DAC. It worked, just not as convenient if I am also trying to use the phone for anything else for an extended period of time, or not fully charged. I thought I remember it not sounding as good as my laptop out, but would need to do a direct test. But a free Qobuz trial wouldn't hurt as well to test all the variables. thx again
  24. Thanks G - The download would work for phone (just a bit less spontaneity) - but not for windows app unfortunately. I do serious listening more on the laptop than on the phone. I connect to real headphones. Hmmm that would be nice. I might have to explore Qobuz more. Seems that there is an app for windows as well. I could try a Qobuz trial to see if that will work for me. I would pretty much max out any buffer that they would offer. Time to search for a 90 day trial code.. :}
