FreeDB.org, which is a non-proprietary version of Gracenote's CDDB, has come into trouble due to infighting and the resigning of its staff members. The service allowed one to automatically get album information and submit album information from a CD after querying a database, based on the lengths of each track, giving a pattern that was unique to each CD.

It's been having trouble for months now. And the comments to it just affirmed what he said, that the software is outdated and the site is being used by spammers.

Here's your link
There must be something screwy going on with the message editor that it put a break in the link.
I didn't realize until afterwards that the song was from a synthesizer. He said that he had to use three to get a realistic sound.
That's nice to see the notes going all over the place while the song plays.

You have a lot of interesting calendar events. I don't know how easy it is to import calendar events in Invision Power Board, but in vBulletin they are considering a future option where calendar events can be imported that is an xml file, the way style/skins can be imported.
Thanks to you I see that bring your child to work day is coming up soon. But actually you made a mistake because it is April 27th, not 28th. That must be from 2005, making your date is off. It is the fourth Thursday in April.

Microsoft went after Lindows for their trademark, and Lindows countersued against the Windows trademark. Just when it looked like the Windows trademark would be dismissed, then Microsoft decided to settle with Lindows and bought their trademark for $20 million rather than risk having its own Windows trademark dismissed. I wish that someone else would continue the fight against the Windows trademark so that Microsoft would lose it.

A judge halted sales of Notorious B.I.G.’s breakthrough 1994 album Ready to Die after a jury decided the title song used part of an Ohio Players tune without permission.
The jury decided that Bad Boy Entertainment and executive producer Sean (Diddy) Combs illegally used a part of the Ohio Players’ 1992 song ‘Singing in the Morning’.
Bridgeport Music and Westbound Records, which owned the song rights, have filed hundreds of lawsuits over “sampling,” the practice of lifting parts of old music for new recordings. Most were settled out of court.

Nice, and it looks better than before.

So how did this happen; was the server or the forum hacked by an outsider?

Maybe it's related to topic or forum subscriptions.

I've noticed going through the subforums that there are many pinned (stickied) topics (threads) that have been pinned for more than a year.
Personally I think that topics shouldn't be pinned for more than a few months.

Robert Lowell - Fall 1961
Back and forth, back and forth
goes the tock, tock, tock
of the orange, bland, ambassadorial
face of the moon
on the grandfather clock.
All autumn, the chafe and jar
of nuclear war;
we have talked our extinction to death.
I swim like a minnow
behind my studio window.
Our end drifts nearer,
the moon lifts,
radiant with terror.
The state
is a diver under a glass bell.
A father’s no shield
for his child.
We are like a lot of wild
spiders crying together,
but without tears.
I like that poem and I found a song John Vanderslice - Radiant With Terror.mp3 that uses it in its lyrics. But I think the music and singing in the song is too fast, and I prefer the poem without the music. A version with music that is more solemn would be good. I think if it were to be sung in a similar manner to Syd Barrett's "Opel", the poem would sound good in a song. Here is Syd's song:

I live in Brooklyn. I'm surprised this is the deepest amount of snowfall. It is big but doesn't seem as big as other ones that I recall. It is actually depressing to me that it is a record snowfall, because since it is not that impressive that means all the other ones will be even lamer.

So Bob Marley is exactly 60 years older than my daughter Leilani.

I bought this album on October 18th and it's great.
Also you should download on filesharing networks the bonus track #16, titled Macquarie Ridge.

"Hackers are targeting music lovers"
I don't like the disparaging of all hackers in reference to this Nopir worm, and besides they don't even know who authored it.

That figure sounds high. Are there even 2 billion Christians with access to TV?

I think the record companies are losing CD sales because some people prefer to be entertained by DVDs because they are longer and the stimulation is both audio and visual. I don't watch movies more than once so a CD is worth more to me than a DVD. The RIAA should focus its wrath on the movie industry (MPAA) instead of focusing its wrath on its fans who are the filesharers.

Maybe there is something wrong with society where lying under oath is not tolerated, but all other forms of lying and dishonesty are.

The news article I read about this was here from Guardian Unlimited.
I was not aware until reading the article that Lil' Kim was in a band called Junior Mafia and that Notorious BIG was dead. I have this old song of theirs from around 1995 which I like a lot called "player's anthem". I like the lyrics of the song
niggers, grab your dicks if you love hip hop
bitches, rub your titties if you like big poppa
Here is the song:

How about an ED2K link to download the file?
And I recommend FileZilla as an FTP client. It connects okay and gets your file transferred even with stubborn servers that have an attitude.

Maybe this link?

I originally posted it in the news forum but it was moved to Urban after it was determined to be a hoax.

I have something like 900 mp3s in my collection and about 400 CDs, so most of my music for playing time exists in CDs, but in diversity exists in mp3s. Maybe half of those CDs are RIAA material, and even less with the mp3s. I like buying CDs because it is a complete package with album art or information in a booklet, and I can play CDs in more places than mp3s, which I can only play on my home computer.
Looking through my collection of music, I do not concern myself whether this one is owned by the RIAA or not. The only thing I care about is that it is in a free digital format and not restricted by copy protection or DRM. I have no copy protected CDs or wma files in my music collection.
It does not matter to me who claims to own the music, because as far as I'm concerned I own all the music that I possess. I can rip, mix, and burn it and freely share it with my peers. Music means nothing without the listeners; I own the music, not the RIAA. What bothers me about the "boycott RIAA" mindset is that it lends support to the notion that the RIAA owns the music.
I'm not saying that we should go out and start buying more RIAA material than normal. What I'm saying is that the fact that it is RIAA material shouldn't stop you from buying it.
