I think that should be "Suzanne Collins" not Stephanie.

The best example I've seen of the JoCo comparison. Left ear is JoCo, right ear is Glee.

Re: Rdio's iPad app gets approved by Apple, we go eyes-on

timseley — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 09:54:12 -0000

You really do sound like a Spotify PR person :). I'm definitely a bigger fan of Rdio myself (interface, social side, experience) but I think its pretty awesome that there are MULTIPLE, GOOD options out there for an all streaming music experience.

As for 256kb/s vs 320kb/s I'd wager a large sum of money that maybe 1 in 1,000 could tell the difference in a blind test. That being the case 256k saves on bandwidth.

BUT Spotify is free and has a larger library (for example my band's music is available on Spotify but not Rdio... go figure.)

Rdio charges money to be a premium service and it definitely works as such. But I do wish the ipad version worked with the $5/mo plan.

NPR definitely has their own lean, but it seems like a pretty natural result of who they have on staff. Bob Boilen has good reasons for the the music he selects, but definitely favors certain styles and genres. As far as the All Songs crew goes I feel that although they're not terribly adventurous, they do provide a pretty good variety of tastes. Robin Hilton favors slightly more experimental, Stephen Thompson favors slightly more accessible/popular styles, etc... I tend to line up with Thompson more than the others. When it comes to music critiques I find that the music that I trust as good comes from individuals, not organizations. We've all got that handful of friends that when they say "listen to this... you'll love it" you pay attention. Sometimes they're wrong but the majority of the time they're right. And those are the people that I trust.
Although there is legitimately "good" and "bad" music out there, the majority of music reviews come down to taste and personal preference more than anything. We could have a scale of 1-10 for categories like uniqueness, musicianship, etc... but when its all said and done the majority of music that's out there is enjoyable to someone. And I didn't read the article so this is a completely uninformed comment on your comment on someone else's comment.

You left off one of the biggest reasons... they make a sweet product that people like and like to share (both real world and facebook style).

Re: Commercial Skipping With SageTV – Comskip and Dirmon2

timseley — Fri, 21 May 2010 10:17:19 -0000

Awesome! When I switched to Sage from BTV a couple years ago the commercial skip was the number one thing I missed. Tried a couple times over the past 2 years but never got it working til now.

Re: How the SageTV Extender Practically Paid For Itself

timseley — Fri, 21 May 2010 09:14:36 -0000

Here's my dilemma. My main htpc on the main floor is one that I built a couple years ago and now that it has a good power supply and good airflow has been running like a champ. I've got a couple of old Dells and we want to add dvr functionality to our TV in the basement. My plan is to get a new video card ($50ish) that will offload all the video decoding. I've also thought about the extender route, but regardless of which I choose, I'm worried our wireless network will be insufficient for streaming the HD. Its wireless N but I've heard mixed comments about streaming HD over wireless. Any thoughts? Is there an easy way to get some sort of stable network connection that I'm unaware of?

Was just doing some tweaking of my Sage setup and browsing the forums and I see something about a public beta... boo yah. And you're in KC of all places. Rock and or roll.

they have a really high buy in but you won't find better bang for your buck in Joco... just moved out of there a couple weeks ago because we bought a house in Olathe.

I used to use cheesy as a negative adjective, until I realized... cheese might be in my top 5 list of greatest things ever created. And when you have a bunch of different cheeses all on a plate together... look out!
