Most of my friends who use Linux are able to dual boot into Windows.Oh, I could boot Windows, but I don't even have any drivers installed there because I never use it. And though my secondary computer is still mostly running Windows (because I was too lazy to properly configure the installed Linux there yet), it's out of HD space so I can't install iTunes there either.And I don't have anything against Macs, I just don't have one. Would be nice (they can run Linux as well anyway, and OS X is Unix-based and can directly run Linux apps)...but they're too expensive.Marian - who has (nearly) no Windows,Marian - who needs no Windows.

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Neil tricked me into installing Itunes,which doesn`t play better or worse than Window Media Player9.but the .aiff files ONLY play on itunes,so I keep it as a secondary player.Also,it never shuts down completely once opened,leaving weird running processes on my CPU,disabling the hibernate function.That link isn`t working well either.K.M.Sure it can`t be as painful as the synth hip-hop arrangement of the Force theme he heard at the shopping center today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no ads or registration or limits on how many CD's you can burn etc. Most of all, with almost half a mil songs, the iTunes store really rocks.

Lurker 5 Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 And no I haven't paid nja to say any of that stuff. And I didn't trick KM into getting iTunes. I wanted to share music with him, and had it encoded as an AAC. And AAC's at 128 kbps sound better than mp3's at 128 kbps and KM is on a dial-up which precludes sending out large files.Neil - iTunes user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nja 0 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I would never buy this album in its entirety, but I could justify paying .99 for a less heard JW main theme that I was more than happy to grab (How to Steal A Million). A decent riff that?s worth checking out. For anyone who might pick this up, at 1:34 in the track, there?s a section that bears remarkable resemblance to part of the Raiders March almost 15 years before IJ ever saw the big screen.

nja 0 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 These are from a compilation album by Perlman on violin with JW conducting. Two tracks are based on Williams scores- Far and Away and Sabrina. The Far and Away arrangement is also included in the Williams compilation John Williams - Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999 (identical track). If you don?t own the compilation, however, I would reccomend buying the arrangement. Far more than a rerecording of the score with violin added, the whole piece is actually rearranged and structurally reworked (by the composer of course).The same is true with the Sabrina arrangement which to my knowledge does not appear on any other album or compilation. Not only is the piece beautifully adapted, but Perlman?s masterful playing gives it a stand-alone quality that IMO is not present in any individual cue from the OST recording. So purists may shun these as imitations of their originals, but who knows, they may represent some of JW?s most remembered work. Worth checking out anyway.
