I got a Dell DJ for the holidays, and I loaded all of my CD's onto it, which took me a very long time. My plan was to bring it back to my dorm and unload all of my new MP3 files onto my computer, except it turns out that the transfer only works one way. I can't import tracks from the device to my dorm's computer. Now I have 10 gigs of music that I can only play on a little portable thing. What's the point of 1000 minutes of Metallica, 600 minutes of Soundgarden, 550 of Nirvana, 550 of Korn, 450 of Green Day, 450 of The Offspring, 400 of Alice In Chains, 400 of Stone Temple Pilots, etc. if I can't blast 'em?
Note: These were rough estimates to the best of my recollection on my dad's computer.
hmm that does suck doesn't it so what can you do? *shrug*
A kid in my dorm told me how to do it. If you have a Dell DJ, listen up, because this is tricky. Go to all programs, find Dell, go to Dell explorer (with your DJ hooked up), and you should see the tracks on your DJ. Then make a new temp file (this only works in temp files for some reason; I tried regular ones), select the artist or album, select all, and copy and paste into the folder. I suggest a folder for each artist. Do not delete these folders-ever, MusicMatch will need them for reference. Open MusicMatch, File-open the temp folders and put the tracks into your currently playing list. Then go to edit-select all playlist, and add the whole playlist (the whole artist) to your library. Do this for each artist. Soon, I'll have all 10 gigs in there, ready to go, and I will be god of the MP3's.
You don't have any Iron Maiden to blast? No Slayer? Or Machine Head?
There's nothing better than blaring Run To The Hills.
You're talking about old hair metal, which isn't as heavy the new death metal. For that, I've got some samplers, including SYL, but I prefer to blast Rage Against The Machine based on the metal and lyrical content.
hey speaking of music over at the DHZ sonimod was saying something in the update about a manga called green day and remarked "(no not the rock gods who put out american idiot)" funny huh?
And hopefully not a day spent smoking pot, which is where Green Day got their name (and the song "Green Day" associated with it).
Machine Head is actually newer. Try some songs (especially Rage To Overcome).
And I tried RATM, but I found them to be kind of like psuedo-rebellious. I don't like bands who try to paint themselves with a rebel look.
Pseudo? They were the most politically vocal metal band of all time (note that I said metal, not folk). Here's one of the many examples from their website:
[quote]A Statement by Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine
Working to ensure the legal rights that all us presume to enjoy certainly has turned out to be controversial!
Let me say straight up that tonight's benefit is not to support cop killers, or any other kind of killers. And if there were no question about the guilt of Mumia Abu-Jamal, we would not be holding this concert.
But whether Jamal is guilty, or is himself the victim of an outrageous miscarriage of justice, is precisely what is at issue. Tonight's benefit seeks to answer that question by allowing Jamal to have the fair and impartial judicial review that he was denied by the state of Pennsylvania.
The proceeds from tonight's event go, not to Mr. Jamal, but to pay for the investigators, forensic experts, and lawyers needed to get an unbiased hearing of this case in the federal courts.
Parents should be proud that their children are attending and standing up for the rights to which all people are entitled.
Rage Against the Machine and the artists participating tonight are hardly along in questioning what has happened to Mr. Jamal. Among those who have questioned the Pennsylvania proceedings are Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel laureate and head of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission; Ronald Hampton, Executive Director of the National Black Police Association; The European Parliament, meeting in Strousbourg; and Amnesty International, who are with us at the concert tonight.
We first heard of this case some years back when the Fraternal Order of Police and Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole pressured National Public Radio into censoring a Series of commentaries on prison life recorded by Mr. Jamal. Then Pennsylvania prison authorities put Mr. Jamal into punitive confinement as punishment for writing his first book, Live from Death Row, published by Addison-Wesley.
We began to ask ourselves, shouldn't political dissidents in THIS country enjoy the same rights that the U.S. government demands for political dissidents in Chine or Iran?
When we looked into the case, we found that Mr. Jamal was a prominent radio journalist in Philadelphia. He frequently reported cases of police misconduct on the air and was threatened along with other journalists by then Mayor Rizzo. He had no criminal record, but as we later learned, he had an enormous FBI surveillance file that had been kept on him since he was 15 years old.
His trial in 1982 was nothing short of a travesty. He was denied the funds necessary to hire expert witnesses, his court-appointed attorney did not interview a single witness before putting them on the stand, he was denied the right to represent himself, and then he was barred from attending his own trial when he continued to protest these outrageous acts. Important evidence was withheld from the defense by the police and prosecution. Witnesses were induced to change their testimony. And the state used its preemptory challenges to knock off prospective jurors on the basis of race.
Perhaps the most absurd allegation against Jamal is that he confessed to shooting Officer Daniel Faulkner. Jamal had been shot by Officer Faulkner and was beaten by other police arriving at the scene. Two months later, when Mr. Jamal filed police brutality charges, the police officers who were with him that night suddenly "remembered" that he had confessed. This was accepted by the court, even though the emergency room doctor and written police reports from that evening said that Jamal had made no statement.
We were then shocked to find that when he was granted a hearing on whether his first trial was unfair and whether he should be granted a new trial, this hearing was conducted by the same judge who had conducted the original trial that was in question.
This judge was a former member of the Fraternal Order or Police, and had pronounced more death sentences than any other sitting judge in the country
heh that green day line is funny I knew people who might do that
