We compla
ined about the idea of disposable DVDs last year. Again, let me
say that I'm not a left-wing tree hugger or anything, but there's
enough disposable stuff in the world already (and calling it "one-time
use" doesn't change anything).
The California Assembly will debate a bill in coming weeks that
would force companies to provide a return envelope for each
unsolicited CD they send out, possibly crimping the marketing plans of
companies like America Online.
Berkeley Assemblywoman Loni Hancock introduced the so-called Return
to Sender bill this week. It would mandate that a postage-paid
envelope be included with unsolicited CDs in mass mailings of 200 or
more discs. Disposable DVDs such as Disney's 48-hour EZ-D must also
include a return envelope for customers' use.

checking Windows Update every day. Because of how aggressively I
patch, and because virtually all the headline grabbers have taken
advantage of unpatched systems, most of the news wasn't scaring me to
death--until this week's reports of two keystroke loggers; one that
neither Internet Explorer nor the best anti-virus defenses were
well-prepared for, and another for which a client-side patch existed
but was alarming in the way it targeted bank accounts.

More on "Why can't the BBC play MP3s?"
06/13/2004 12:56 AMFollowing up on
this earlier BoingBoing post about the curious tale of Rodeohead
MP3s, BoingBoing, and the BBC -- reader and geek sleuth Rupert
Goodwins says, "I asked
Mike
Todd, one of BBC Radio's Broadcast Duty Managers, what was with
that MP3 ban on the wireless. He said:
"A lot depends on the amount of compression in the original MP3, but
the CD-R request would be either to allow a linear version to be
supplied, or a very much less compressed version. Every time
lossy-compressed audio goes via a lossy part of the chain it gets
worse (depending, of course, on the original level of compression and
the type of audio)."
A BH studio to the FM transmitter network is not a problem, but it is
when it goes to DAB/Freeview/Dsat ... and then the studio itself may
be being sourced via a lossy ISDN (as indeed Peel is). Add these
together and the results could be dreadful ... therefore there's a
policy to (a) not use MP3s unless editorial imperatives demand it and
there is absolutely no other way, (b) not us Minidiscs except in
certain circumstances and (c) have computer playout systems working
with linear audio.
BoingBoing reader Rupert continues:
"There we have it. DAB is the
European terrestrial digital radio system, Freeview is the UK's
digital terrestrial TV system which has multiple radio channels too,
and DSat is the digital satellite system.
There's one heck of a lot of digital broadcasting round these parts,
each with its own compression system, and that's before you start to
worry about the streaming stuff on the Net."
[Xeni speaking again here]. I'm still not sure that explains it. The
BoingBoing reader who pointed John Peel to the Rodeohead MP3s says
that when he learned Peel couldn't play the MP3s, he burned them to
CD, sent them to Peel at the BBC, and they aired on Peel's show
shortly thereafter. So, either (a) the issue was that Peel's show was
simply unable to deal with downloading, storing, and playing digital
files (but popping a CD in a player was no prob), or (b) the above
theory is true, and Peel's show obtained and then aired a non-lossy
version of the material, from someone other than this BoingBoing
reader.
Pay To Have Your CDs Turned Into MP3s
Pay To Have Your CDs Turned Into MP3s
01/26/2004 12:42 PMI've mentioned before that I'm still a bit behind on using digitized
music, as it seems like quite a chore to rip all my CDs. It's been
something of an ad hoc process. Every once in a while, when I want to
listen to a specific CD and have the music stored on my computer, I'll
rip that CD. However, ripping them all (over 1,000) seems like quite
a process. That said, I'm still not sure I'd be interested in
a service
that would rip your CDs into MP3s for you. Still, it appears
plenty of people are interested and are paying about a dollar per CD
to have the process done. While the service was originally intended
for DJs, many people are apparently signing up to have their personal
collections ripped as well. Of course, you have to wonder how
sustainable this business is. You certainly aren't going to have many
repeat customers.

04/04/2005 06:25 PMMark Frauenfelder:
Steal this LP: here's Abbie Hoffman's 1969 record album,
Wake Up
America! in MP3 format.
This reminded me of the time I met Hoffman. It was around 1985 or
1986, when Carla and I went to a 1960s conference in San Francisco.
(Tom Robbins, Timothy Leary, Paul Krassner, and so on, were there. We
went mainly to see Leary.)
Some reporter from a paper up in Marin or Sonoma spotted us and
decided to write an article about us -- still not sure why. Anyway, he
insisted on introducing us to Abbie Hoffman, who was there. I think he
had recently come out of hiding. I hate meeting famous people in
situations like this, and I wasn't looking forward to meeting but
Carla and I meekly went along at the reporter's insistence. Hoffman
was standing in the lobby, looking very grumpy. We were introduced,
and he gruffly shook our hands, but avoided eye contact. He then
announced to us, without looking at any of us, that he needed to find
a payphone to get the score to a ball game, because he had money
riding on the outcome. He walked away without saying anything else.
I don't blame him for not wanting to be bothered, but I learned
something. To this day, when I have the opportunity to meet a famous
person, I almost always decline. I usually don't have anything to say
to them and they don't have anything to say to me.

Personalized Radio... Based On Your MP3s
Personalized Radio... Based On Your MP3s
08/02/2004 01:39 PMWired News is running a story about Last.fm, an internet radio station
that goes a bit beyond most internet radio stations in its ability to
personalize what you hear. While most stations require users to rate
a variety of songs to come up with a profile of what you like, Last.fm
uses plugin Audioscrobbler to
comb
your hard drive for music files and build a profile of what you
like. It will then create a personalized station based on what
you already had on your hard drive. It also includes other features,
such as the ability to listen to other users' radio stations. The
company is perfectly legal, having paid for online radio licenses from
the music industry. What's interesting is the company's business
model: they're selling market research to record labels. What the
article doesn't say is whether or not this scares off any users who
don't like the thought of a list of what they have on their hard drive
being sent to record labels (though, obviously, Last.fm isn't sending
lists of specific hard drives, but more aggregate data). Either way,
it sounds like a cool use of the technology for those who don't mind
sharing what they're listening to.

to Christmas MP3s from "The Border Brass." Link to image

to the label behind the album, part of a series of xmas
releases. (Thanks, Shawn)
Reader Bill the Splut says,
"As the owner of scores of freakishly anti-Christmas albums that have
been used to abuse my friends at this time of year, I was excited to
buy "Tijuana Christmas" for a dollar. But I never used it. The
reason isn't that LP isn't cheezy enough, but because the joke is too
subtle. As an actual, admitted lifetime fan of Herb Alpert and the
Tijuana Brass, Tijuana Christmas is brilliant. They aren't
just Xmas tunes--every one is a parody of a TJB hit. For instance,
note how track 3 mimics A Taste of Honey.
The rest of the tracks have similar musical jokes.
"And people would've caught those jokes. Remember, the TJB was a huge
success before the Beatles came over. Anyone who was an American kid
in the 60s had parents with most of Herb's LPs. Why else do you think
that you find so many copies of Whipped Cream and Other
Delights in every stack of used vinyl?"

Sweeter than a mouthful of

lebi. David Boyk says:
"While I was supposed to be studying for finals, I made a mix CD to
introduce dubious Westerners to Bollywood. That didn't waste enough
time, so I also made a big web site that has all the tracks from the
CD, plus some more, and a lot of other information to explain
Bollywood movies and music, and also to help a bit with language."
Far from a waste of time, David's terrific site includes a "bollywood
for dummies" primer, and a very helpful list of common Hindi words
you'll encounter. As for the MP3s, man -- there are some serious
gems in here, in particular the rockin' 1960s numbers.

Building Playlists Of Free MP3s
Building Playlists Of Free MP3s
04/09/2004 04:04 PMDespite what the recording industry would have you believe, there
actually are a lot of bands who release tracks as MP3s for free
online, as a way of promoting their music. A while back Lucas Gonze
came up with the idea of helping people
create
web-based playlists for such free MP3s and ended up creating
Webjay. I had played around with it
a couple months ago when he launched it, but haven't had much time
since. It looks like many others, though, have started populating it
with some interesting playlists. The idea is not to include
unauthorized MP3s (and, in fact, those lists get taken down), but as a
way to help promote bands who realize the benefit of offering free
MP3s online.
