  1. Not with Lolla anyway, right? It's a multi-stage festival so you should be able to score.

    Aerosmith tickets already? I've heard numerous rumours they're coming to Australia in 2013 for the new album tour. I have to see Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford at least once. $100 isn't bad for a good show - do they still sell out arenas and stadiums?

    As quoted:

    Bassist Tom Hamilton says, "After touring Japan and South America last year we're psyched about bringing it all back for the hometown fans. We're going to break out the classics, the hits and maybe even some of the new ones we've been banging out in the studio. Can't wait to get to Minneapolis!"


    Oasis In The Night, perhaps?
  2. Oh yeah it'll definitely sell out. They're sort of co-headlining with Cheap Trick, though its obvious Aerosmith is the bigger band. And $100 is pretty average for a big arena show like that, it's just been so long since I've seen something that big the numbers look huge to me.

    Its not me paying for the tickets, either- so I shouldn't even be complaining...it's my mom taking me, my brother, and my sister...so its whether or not she wants to spend 400 bucks. That's what I'm worried about.
  3. Anyone know why some CDs import at 5x-ish speeds while most import at 20x-ish speeds?

    Is it that some are AIFF and some WAV or something like that?
  4. Scratches, older media, longer tracks?

    I know some of my short albums with medium-length songs (10mins and more) will only import at 5x whereas something with shorter songs (4 - 6 mins) goes about 10-15x speed.
  5. CDs aren't like records in that the music is literally spaced onto the disc, they're files that are read by a laser. It's the same reason some files take longer to download than others- file size varies per item.

    It can also completely depend on how your computer feels that second. If you're running any other small processes, even if its just something running in the background that you don't realize, one CD might take a little longer.
  6. Well... I of course realize a longer album takes more time... I'm talking about the speed at which they import relative to the length (at least I think that's what it is).
  7. Even if you have two songs that are both exactly 3:00 long, they could still be different file sizes simply due to how they were recorded, put on the CD, how many tracks there are on the final master, etc etc...the list goes on and on. It just depends per song, there isn't one standard.
  8. ^ But they do rip, right with no audible errors?

    Maybe it's the app you're using to rip? What are you using?
  9. I'm ripping in iTunes to Apple Lossless.

    Matt: I realize that too... but I doubt a certain 3:00 song will be four times bigger like the time difference.

    I haven't listened to all yet, so I wouldn't know about all errors... Listening to all would take a looooong time.
  10. There's something weird about the way iTunes rips. The songs sounded less punchy - whereas if I used Rip or EAC (on my old laptop) I'd get a better sound.

    3:00 shouldn't be that big - 25 - 30MB perhaps?
  11. Eh, whatever. Far as I'm concerned ripping into lossless for your computer isn't worth it for me anyway, who cares if its lossless if I don't have exceptional speakers to play it out of?
  12. ^ That's a good point. If you're only playing it on tinny speakers why bother (specially if you've got the original CD)?
