I know, because I had it on cassette and I was very happy being able to download it from the site. Yep, I know I just meant it was not mp3 format as you originally stated. It was a licenced WMA file that's all. No biggie. okay, no harm done, thanks for clearing this up | |

tomds said: KeithyT said: Nah, it was only ever released (apart from the CD and Cassette) as a DRM licenced WMA file in the NPGMC Musicology store. It was not available as unlicenced mp3 (the only time it could have been was during the 2001 NPGMC monthly downloads but I'm sure it wasn't). yes it was in 2004, along with all the other albums like c-note, chocolate invasion,... you could buy and download "the war". I know, because I had it on cassette and I was very happy being able to download it from the site. If you use iTunes and put a .wma onto an iPod, it automatically changes the format to .mp3 (iTunes doesn't do .wma). Maybe that's why you have an .mp3? All the 2004 downloads I have are .wma w/DRM. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I record everything I do, just like Jimi Hendrix did. And eventually a lot of it will be released. To me, Crystal Ball was a test case. I was testing the water to see if people would buy music over the internet, and whether they would be receptive to a five-CD set. Since the album was a success, it leads me to believe that the whole interactive thing offers great possibilities. I mean, why not make a five-CD live album, with people on the internet choosing their favorite tracks? Why not poll the fans on our web site and let them compile it? All this will happen. Soon. 0{+> : God, there have been so many. I've actually recorded some indescribable music with Miles Davis -- long improvisations that I will release at some point. But again, I want to wait until the spirit moves me, you know. Bring those recordings to the public when it feels right. Like release it on his birthday or his death day, when Miles was released from the circle of life and death. Nosferatu said: Off topic, I know, but we're still waiting 14 years later...
I know, right? Prince seems to have a love/hate relationship with the internet, as well as a scorching case of ADD. Bad combination for hard-core fans that have been following his off-the-cuff "hints/promises" for so many years and aborted projects. We had a discussion about the Crystal Ball II project yesterday, where fans did get to pick songs for the never-realized 2000/2001 era CD set. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
