CD Ripping World
06/05/10 07:54
Driving back yesterday from collecting a batch of CDs I was thinking how much CD ripping has changed over the last seven years.
I picked up around 300 CDs, the first trial batch I had was just over 50. In the past year we’ve regularly done stacks of over 1,000 CDs. Volumes have just rocketed.
This batch will be ripped as Apple Lossless, and they’ll all go on my client’s iPod. The first iPod I had was just 5 Gb. High capacity drives have transformed what we do, making much higher quality music possible and portable. We’ll return this music library on a USB connected hard drive which is now becoming standard.
This is a collection skewed towards classical and a key factor in using podServe for many people is our data grooming service. This simple ides has helped so many people to enjoy their music better because they can find it without the distractions of conflicting composer names, out of sequence CDs, mixed up “Best of” or “Greatest Hits”.
One thing hasn’t changed, the traffic’s still a nightmare along the Mile End Road.

iTunes in Lala Land
02/05/10 10:38
I love streaming music, and so do thousands of other people. Take Sonos, Logitech, the extension of iTunes via Airport, all stream music around your home.
We are a CD ripping service, delivering content intended for portable devices such as the Apple iPod but increasingly our clients want the best sound quality because they are investing in streaming technology. They want to be able to listen to their music in the kitchen, the living room, the study, the bedroom or the shower without having to carry a portable device and set of headphones.
Apple bought Lala and have announced it will be shut at the end of this month. If you haven’t heard Lala is a music streaming service and the talk is that shortly Apple will incorporate a streaming service into a forthcoming version of iTunes. This could give you access to your music first anywhere in the house, delivered via the internet rather than specialist music streaming boxes (bad news for Sonos), and your music anywhere else in the world when you log onto the internet.
