Guy J - Touched by the Sun Mix May 2019

[chuckc]

Awesome new mix from Guy J
https://soundcloud.com/guy-j/guy-j-may-touched-by-sun-mix

Of course no download. I guess Mr. Guy J is finished providing downloads for his mixes like he ALWAYS used to.

Its a shame a mix like this has to be listed to in a shitty 128 rip.

I have messaged him but he does not respond.

Re: Guy J - Touched by the Sun Mix May 2019

What is the rationale for no download when he used to?

Re: Guy J - Touched by the Sun Mix May 2019

^^ I have a suspicion that it is to do with Soundcloud. Trying to build their streaming service ??

A lot of Djs used to give d/loads. Now even most of the local guys here don't . Must remember to ask one of them why they aren't doing it anymore.

Btw re sound quality. I have it set to original quality on Hearthis.at and it sounds so much better than Soundcloud. It is nice to have a choice.

Exactly DIDI, as I'm repeating since last year.
We talked a lot about this feather in the Cid Inc thread and others... We must get used to this because the new habits of the social platforms is to grow the following and everything is going in the streaming direction, so we will get downloads each day less.

This is where we differ , I will fight to the death to get good music. !!! I refuse to just get used to streaming. Fortunately there are still artists who give us downloads and at the moment I can still buy CDs. 389gb on iTunes. and still not all my music is there. I need to get some of my vinyl on there.

What I really don't understand is how Guy J, in fact anyone that puts out music, can possibly be happy that their music is streamed in such bad quality. People literally don't know what they are missing . The detail just isn't there anymore. It's a joke when people who ask for 320 are considered to be audiophiles

Thank goodness for Hernan . Every week a quality, easily accessible mix with track listing. Who else does that ??

Re: Guy J - Touched by the Sun Mix May 2019

Well, we've talked about this many times and you can verify yourself that the thing is each day deeper in the direction that I mention.
But I don't differ 100% with you, I'm in the middle.

You can resist the change or you can adapt.
I accept the streaming (with some tricks to jump the rules and praying for 320 to be the standard) but I understand that you can't fight against the advance (or retreat) of technology and evolution. Or you can, but it will just wear you out.

To listen in high quality there are still, tracks, HD video streaming, albums, compilations, etc...

The scary thing is that 128kbs don't discourage people from ripping promos and put them in their sets, along with YouTube rips.

To me, Guy J epitomizes bog standard prog. But I've been wrong before.

Re: Guy J - Touched by the Sun Mix May 2019

that's awful
128k re-ripped and maybe re-compressed it's crap.
I hope the companies update their service ASAP, at least 192 just to begin, 256vbr or 320 ideally.
The bandwidth and devices of today makes it totally feasible.

Re: Guy J - Touched by the Sun Mix May 2019

It isn't a matter of fighting the advance of technology it is about choosing the best technology . Which is what I do , or I wouldn't be here.

My patterns of listening to music don't need streaming. I buy tracks I love in aiff , most certainly still buy albums , compilations etc. I am definitely not going without

You are right that is scary


But there is nothing wrong with bog standard prog. I love my prog !!
