It is my understanding they are only transferring tracks on an "as needed" basis.

Trust me: professionally and safely transferring an analog tape to digital is far from being as simple as you imagine it, it is relatively expensive and no-one will pay for it just to put it out on HDTracks.

.

It has been done.

(for preservation)

So the additional cost is zero.

Apparently you're replying to my posts without reading them so I give up. Plus you have no idea what you're talking about.

Maybe if you would read the Estate documents you would understand.

Why would I need to read the Estate documents?

If Prince were sane, then the most important tapes would have been digitised while he was alive.

A digital copy can be duplicated without losses, this can provide redundancy as well as resilience against deterioration of the media.

Implying that he did not makes this the most important task for money wasting 'The Estate'.

This means that if they did not do so personally, the Iron Mountain thing should concentrate on these album masters first. This should have been the easiest to find tapes in the Vault (and other places).

Assuming they did so these digital copies could have been online three weeks ago. (or sooner)

Dude, please stop. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Sure, he fact is that I have been digitising since 1995.

And the fact is that the estate has not made the recordings I mentioned available in highres formats.

This means that this simple process was not deemed profiatble enough.

But what is?

They aren't making anything available, not keeping Prince fans engaged or attracting new fans. His work has been capable of being on You Tube. His NPG music club was the first online music subscription service, with music, videos, interviews. He preceeded Apple and won Webby Awards for his pioneering work. Why not re-activate the site and start posting content, using it as a legacy portal? Prince museum shows history of his many cool websites. Plenty of vehicles available to the estate.

By the time this is all sorted out, the fans who care will be dead, or over 80, and won't care. The time for making any money off any reissues or vault material was 2016-18. Damage control might garner some meager profits in the next five or so years, but many of us will still be alive when Paisley Park is torn down, and most, if not all of the assets are sold.

I'd love for PP to be a makeshift studio and museum for Prince, MJ, U2, and other major artists from the 1980's, but with all the legal issues and incompetence from multiple sides, PP will likely either be transformed into something we all don't like, or demolished. Sad.

Elvis died in 1977, almost 42 years ago. Graceland is still a popular attraction/.
It will be the same with Paisley, which has much more to offer as a facility.

BTW, the estate administrators and Gracelnd managers have said that Paisley is not only supporting itself but returning as profit to the estate.

I think Elvis is perhaps the worst of all the famous "Musicians." He was simply a singer. He could not write a note of music, and although he could play guitar, after he left the studio, real guitar players overdubbed his parts, and Elvis was clueless this was even happening.

Despite this, Elvis had years of being a huge star. He had tons of #1 singles, albums, and fame Prince could never dream of.

Prince is 25 billion times better than Elvis. Hell, Elvis Costello is the real Elvis to me, and he's not really that great. It's just Prince had ONE huge album, and 3 decent selling albums.

Remember, Adele 25 sold more than every single Prince album released from 1992 to 2016 put together in NINE Days. And that is physical album sales in an age where cds supposedly don't sell anymore.

I would love to be optimistic about Prince's future sales, but there is no focus, no direction, and no die hard fans involved in the process. If I win powerball, I would invest my own money in trying to protect his legacy, and get the music out to those of us who want it. But the future is bleak, unless someone knows something I don't.

And Miles Davis', Glenn Gould's or John Coltrane's numbers wouldn't compare with Bieber's, Adele's, Elvis' either. Prince was among the rare... It saddens me how much garbage has been written about one of the greatest musicians, songwriters, live performers of our or any generation.

I hope it won't be demolished but I wouldn't be surprised if it was something other then Paisley Park. It has got to be expensive to keep open.

Don't Fret Paisley Park will be here 4Ever!

Keep thread on topic folks, thanks.

Jacqueline Nicholson has filed a claim against the Estate requesting her

67 gold bars back that Prince gave to her as a birthday gift.

I mean no disrespect, but is Capital One the Deceased African-American Singer Headquarters? Both Prince and Whitney in the commercials? Now, PBS has a Prince special it keeps repeating? Who authorized that? One of the top entertainers of all time has been reduced to an afterthought while numerous people search for ways to get his money into their pockets. I hear his music and I can feel him in my soul. I miss him. But it is like he never really existed.

I understand to a point what you are thinking, however, if the PBS special keeps repeating, you can't say Prince is forgotten. Unless PBS is getting tons of calls demanding to find out who this Prince character is. And who approved it? That's a funny one. Since you know who never left a will, it is pretty much saying "I don't care" about EVERYTHING. Sad, but the powers that be can pretty much do what they want within reason. Showtime ran SOTT, which is comical when it comes to the rights to it. SOTT is considered Prince's crowning acheivement to some, but Prince could've care less after it was released. He was on to Cincinnati, like Coach Bill Belichick would say(meaning, time to move on.)

I am not convinced that Prince didn't have a will... there was much shadiness in his world. Much was taken from Paisley Park upon his death.

I think Prince cared a great deal about his music, performances, fans... he did quite a lot in his lifetime. But I would like to see his live performances released now that he isn't with us anymore.

A few photos of the Prince Galpin property that was sold to Lennar. https://www.swnewsmedia.c...72b43.html Some morons on LA saying the property should never have been sold to a developer and should have been bought by the city. Um do they have a clue how much the land was worth? Around $20M. Where in the world would the city of Chanhassen have come up with that kind of money to purchase the property? That’s just silly thinking. Hopefully the builders & city will find a way to pay tribute in some way. If there’s a trail that runs through the development and lake Lucy/Ann it could be named after him. Or maybe some of the street names could have a Prince tie-in. But honestly it made no sense for the estate to keep the property and if it was going to be sold it most likely would be sold to a home builder.

Morons? Lol, why don't you go over there and tell the "morons" what you think?
