I'm already up with this.... A few of us on the Wylie list swap compilation cds of our current favourite tunes etc. I do all mine using Acid Pro and mix the outros/intros so as it plays as one continuous 80min disc. I've 2 discs completed and will be starting a third soon. Great fun, even if it does take some time to work out what tunes work with each other..

You do have to pay as with other jukeboxes. This bar was mentioned in one of the newspapers over here. The owner seemed pretty depressed that, despite the selection, everyone still plumped for The Smiths, Pixies and Stone Roses. From: "Noose Boy" > Here's another idea for you.

Record a couple of DJ sets to mp3s and upload it to an (e.g.) iPod. The iPod is then hired out to bars, shops etc for a couple of days thus giving a cut-price DJ without the inflated ego and minus the attempts to get off with your missus. Return the iPod a couple of days later and swap it for another loaded up with a new set of mixes. - -- Barry - -- Barry Whiting barry@urquell.freeserve.co.uk ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== - --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Did you get this story? http://www.statesman.com/asection/content/auto/epaper/editions/today/news_f3d5b79736e532eb00f6.html Pretty sad day when a company can have its own search warrant without needing a judge to approve it first..... just claim that an ISP or user is sharing/downloading/uploading songs, and they can go after said ISP or user.... ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 12:30:36 -0500 (CDT) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: Re: seven-seas OT: how to get the geeks out of the closet and not > >There's a new club craze going round -- only cool isn't in. > > That's been happening for years! Yeah, in smaller ways, but not like this. The technology to allow it wasn't there until enough people got laptops and WiFi and the like. Still.... Sad, very sad.

But is it said like here (Foo-ton) or does it rhyme with glutton? I find some rather odd pronunciations of words that are straight- forward to me (though futon is straight from the Japanese). - --Amy, linguistics hobbyist ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 22:28:42 +0100 From: "Noose Boy" Subject: RE: seven-seas OT: NYC bar famous for 26,000 song MP3 jukebox If it was me running the bar then there wouldn't be a jukebox, I'd play all the stuff and there'd be queues to get in.

Actually, I think it's a dollar ;-) (for the jukebox) Still, the idea is cool, and there are some here who would like second careers (or third, or fourth, or....) ;-) If the character was the guy running the joint then it might be worth it! ;-) Eh Raj? ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #748 ********************************
