Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

[fisheye]

Is anybody on this list suffering from download angst???

Back when {ms} was a germinating seed, in 2002, way before the big crash, you could download Diggerz show and maybe a special or 2. Now not only does {MS} have that show but we get Hernan's show, and more frequent dedicated exclusive MS mixes like Inkfish.

Then there are so many bloody mixes on the P& R section that it's getting really, really hard to keep up with all the music out there. If you were just to listen to the content that's availabe for D/L weekly on MS you need about 4 hours to listen to it.

And I'm just talking about mix sets, forget about all the internet music sites like Beatport and the like.

What do you peeps do???

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

I have had myself cloned 3 times, problem is i don;t know what i've listened to so i end up listening to everthing 4 times.

Doesn't help, but i i thought i'd share.

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

I grab a lot of stuff, I don't try to keep up with everything. I have a pretty well-developed sense of taste for what I like and I trust it...if I miss something, then I miss it and don't worry about it; as you said, there is more than enough new stuff coming.

I find that 9 out of 10 things I download are mediocre anyways and they quickly get deleted from my listening rotation.

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

I have over 1TB of storage on my desktop (regular Windows Vista PC, not a server in any which way). That means I am obtaining way more than I can consume... so what do i do?

Every several weeks (maybe monthly), I stay up for 24 hours straight and listen ONLY to what was acquired since the last all-nighter. If it sucks, I delete then-and-there; if it rocks, I add to my usual always-on playlist.

PS: Same applies for music albums (like the new Radiohead; it's on deck for my next music all-nighter).

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

I try to download even less though there are more available. By waiting to read the reviews carefully before downloading and keeping in mind that really good mixes are often times not even obviously good the first or even 2nd or 3rd time around

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

i buy tracks and listen to them. i rarely listen to mixes.
i cant keep up with the barrage of releases. esp when i need time to work on production.
i need to quit my job

resistance is futile.

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

^ who said anything about resistance?

i just need more time so i can bliss out!

the annoying thing is with so much new stuff i cant be hard to go back to decent sets you've already listened to.

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

^ thats its exactly. Even when I do find a killer set, rarely do I ever go back and listen to it again. There is always more new stuff to listen to. I rationalize it that someday, it will be nice to have a library of sets that I know I like and can just hit shuffle and relax...but when will that day be?

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

It is a huge problem but i started cutting back from downloading 200 gigs of sets a month to 20 gigs a month i just don't have the room to keep this up.

Re: Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I Can't Keep Up

if its even remotely bad quality sound I just delete it - cos I have so many other high quality sets

but again - i would rather it be this way than the napster days when you could only get bits of sets months after release.

it still shocks me that we can get a DJ set / Radio show the nite after it happens!
