Topic: Napster Frustrations

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

I signed upto Napster about 6 months ago. For those that aren't aware ,you effetcively rent your music, for the fee of £10 a month , in this time i can download as many tunes from their database as i like.

Finance wise, no problems at all.

But what i HATE, is when you i go to play one of the tunes from napster and a Internet Explorer window pops up stating i need to redownload the track.

It is so annoying! Especially when in a gig!

Yes i can organise a set of tracks before my gig and test them and download any that need to be redownloaded, but sometimes you need to deviate quite a bit from preplanned sets (like when you're told there will mostly teenagers at a party and you get their and the majority are over 40!), not to mention being able to handle rquests through the night.

The problem seems to occur alot, i would guess around 20% of my tracks since i've been using Napster have needed to be be re-downloaded.

I don't really understand why, the re-downloaded versions sound the same to me, anyone one know why they have to be re-downloaded?

I wish napster had some automated feature where you simply click a button, it analyses your libary and redownloads any that need to be redownloaded, rather than the end user having to manually search for the track again and download it again.

howa about you use the 20 bucks to take your girlfriend out to a romantic dinner at mcdonalds. Then you can run the line out into the line in on your soundcard, and use something vdj to record from the line in. hehe.

But that method requires you to do each song individually.

Using something like Tunebite, you can cue up all your audio (and video - from itunes etc...), hit go and it will convert it all automatically. Whilst it's doing that, you can be doing something for more useful with your girlfriend ;)

Like what clean the house, paint the garage, complete the "honeydo" list.
 
what? load up a playlist in vdj, mix a few 100 tunes and chop them up in a free audio editor.

So there's no time and effort involved with chopping up a few hundred tunes and saving them all? If it takes you 30 seconds a track (and thats being conservative IMHO), then 100 songs will take you 50 minutes just to do the chop and save.

I guess it all comes down to personal choice at the end of the day though - I have to do this when I'm ripping vinyl, and thats ball-ache enough for me!

Regards,

Scott

If i've got 10,000 odd napster tracks that i want to be able to play if requested, this doesn't really help.
 
u have alot of time on your hands. fthat. all that naming...forget about. $20 bucks very well spent
 
I would suggest for pemanent tracks use Sound Taxi.
On the fly request I usually just open Napster dl on there, then play the wma.

I still wish the internal Napster gui worked. Great feature but has never worked for me.
 
it worked in 4.3 then stoped was real Cool Please FIX again
