Default So, In Regard To This New EP......

.....is it just a digital release, like Lindsey's live album, or will there be a "hard" copy as well?

I think it's just digital, at least that's what they have alluded to.

I hope there is a "hard copy" available. I'm way behind on the technology stuff. Don't own any of the new gadgets. Just want to put some new Mac in my CD player, too much to ask for I guess.
Lately there has been a few artist putting out stuff on Itunes that I'd really like. Fortunetly the stuff usually finds it's way onto youtube so I can have a listen.

Just read that it was going to be 3 songs so Miss Fantasy, Sad Angel and Without You. I think it was on Ultimate Classic Rock. They also said that Mick separated from Lynn. He wants joint custody.

Lindsey said on Monday night the EP would be available "online" so that probably means digitally.

I think they're making a BIG mistake if they just do digital...I don't download, so I will be passing. I think there are a lot of others who may feel the same way.
If they were wise, they would press up a few hundred copies and sell them on their website. If they want a TRUE representation of whether or not the fans really want new music or not, they need to cover all their bases!

SN called it "our mini baby record" in Columbus. i don't think it will be a "record" but i suspect that would mean not just digital. who knows.

well, maybe kids who are not "true fans" but are going to these mac shows alongside their parents will download ... my teenager loved Sad Angel and said we should dl it when it becomes available. he never even considered any other type of release.

i'm really puzzled by all this aversion to downloading tbh. were you all against CDs when they first came out too?

No. But downloading compressed files is simply loss of quality. And that stinks. 320 kb mp3 is nowhere near cd quality.

For me, it's not an aversion to the technology but I want to have highest quality available. If there were giving me the option to download 24bit/192kHz (higher than CD quality) versions then I would. Since they're giving me the option of downloading an mp3 I'm not interested.

I'm hoping for a CD release of the EP. If nothing else it'll look nice tucked in beside all my other Mac CDs

Also, I just don't bother with i-pods or putting music on my computer....I like the sound of a record or CD playing on the stereo, be it at home or in the car. I also love the whole presentation of artwork, lyrics, liner notes, etc.

Let the younger crowd download, but don't forget the older fans who have stuck with the band close to 40 years. Chances are (most of) the kids will move on to someone/something else...we oldsters will continue to stick around!

Hard copy please .No cheap file from ICRAP.I wont buy it.Sorry guys .I'll love to support FM but not with crappy Icrap files or any other crappy digital files.I just wait to it shows up on Youtube .Sorry Stevie.

I will buy it if its a .WAV of Flac but not crappy mp3's.

It probably cost them almost nothing to print it in China so it would no loss if it does not sell good.

iTunes does not sell MP3s. They sell AAC files, which are a proprietary Apple file type. You know those YouTube uploads are usually far worse quality than what you'd get from iTunes. Just saying.

Either way, I'd prefer a physical release as well, but only because I'd want it in my collection. I buy music in many formats, but for some artists I prefer hard copies.

really? i thought apple ones are actually more compressed / worse sounding... considering we are dissecting in details here

i can never claim that i can hear subtle differences that someone like Peestie could, for example. i can hear differences between different formats sometimes, but not always... maybe b/c the best sound system i have for listening this stuff is in my car

i don't have a record player (or it's somewhere in the shed), and i have crappy CD player. CDs sound much better in my car. if i want CDs for my car (as opposed to listening through my phone over car speakers), i make them. over computer speakers of course everything will sound horrible, even i can hear that.
