I've been with TIDAL since the service was introduced in the United States. Their latest move eliminating the option to buy music through their download store motivated me to cancel my subscription. Why on Earth would I support a streaming service at $19.99 a month when it doesn't offer what...

We streamed Bros last night and had a great time. This is the earliest we've ever pre-ordered a movie disc.

I always wipe the disc from the center hub outward, never in a circular motion. I used a paper towel on a lens once and I won't do that again. LOL I suppose you could just dab the disc with a paper towel. These Blu-ray/4K discs *are* touted as scratch resistant after all.

If you're determined to "wash" the disc, use a microfiber cloth to dry it. Remember, paper comes from wood and that's not something you want near a disc or lens surface.

Pixels/freezing were the problem. It was just like some early DVDs. Btw, I've never "washed" a DVD/Blu-ray/4K. I have used moist lens wipes through the years but only when discs have fingerprints and/or excessive dust.

My replacement Poltergeist 4K disc arrived. This one is fine. If you told me back in 1998 that I'd still be dealing with defective movie discs in 2022...

We just tried to watch our copy of the Poltergeist UHD. It pixelated briefly at the beginning and started freezing and pixelating during kitchen / face peeling scene. We have a Panasonic DP-UB820-K that we bought last Christmas. We're wondering what we should do.

I still have my iPod but I switched to a FiiO player a couple years ago. It's sad to see the product discontinued.

We're getting more information! I love this film and I prefer the open matte. This reminds me of the "film grain" issue. People made a huge fuss and now some discs look awful with way too much grain.

Since I'm getting more picture with 1:37, I'm happy. It is a shame they aren't offering a widescreen option for the purists.

I prefer Skatetown, U.S.A. but that's neither here nor there.

When DVD was introduced in late '90s, I wanted *everything*. It was nice to have all my "shows" on a format that would age relatively well. I hated tape and still do. These days I'm transitioning from standard DVD to Blu-ray/4K discs and I only buy movies I know I'll re-watch. I've gone from...

Thanks for the info!

I'm in Texas and ironically, I have to pay online sales tax.

I bought a couple animated shorts from iTunes that would look great in 4K but I don't think they're still available on my new iMac running Big Sur. This bothers me and regarding digital movies - "...Apple, Amazon, Google are all competing to be our provider. Even Microsoft is belatedly getting...

I only buy CD quality or Hi-Res downloads. MP3 is dead!

Does Bull Moose ship in plastic bubble bags (AMAZON) or boxes? I'm sick of AMAZON sending damaged items!

I loved AMC back in the '90s. I remember when it changed and that was a sad day. I'm hoping the big announcement is that TCM will be available via app.

I noticed distortion at high volume when playing MP3s years ago through my car stereo. The same track on the CD, obviously in a CD player in the car, gave no such distortion. Now with hi-res, I'm noticing higher highs and lower bass that compressed CDs don't present well. Of course how the...

This is also true for JRiver Media Center. It's a program that is similar to iTunes but much more user-friendly. It's PC/Mac compatible. Just like you, I frequently edit Metadata that's "off". BTW, I've owned this program for five or six years now and haven't looked back to iTunes.

I use JRiver Media Center. Ripping discs is relatively easy and you can organize however you like. I have created playlists that range from jazz to my favorite dance music and I send albums to those destinations. One thing, be sure you are ripping your CDs in the highest resolution possible. You...

Daft Punk Give Life Back To Music

Pet Shop Boys Memory Of The Future REMIXED I had the privilege of visiting a "real" record store yesterday and bought the CD Maxi-Single of this track from their Elysium album. I'm eagerly awaiting their new LP, Electric. It's due to arrive this summer in July.

William Fitzsimmons, Goodmorning (Pink Ganter Remix)

chadergeist, I disagree with your observation that Apple has killed the CD. CD is still kicking. Apple, iPods etc. *have* saved the legitimate music industry with billions of songs now sold. In fact, I often buy the lossless file of a single or two before I jump and buy the entire CD from an...

Madison Park Sunrise (Knut Throndsen Remix)

If anything, I suppose streaming is good for discovering new music that I'll purchase as a lossless file or on CD. I think of the artists and how I'm actually enabling my "bands" to create more music for my enjoyment when I buy their files and discs.

An additional drawback is that the music is usually streamed at 128 kbps.
