not that i can tell (ive actually got one thats from the beta and one from about a year after production started and the cases/labels were 100% identical until i used a sharpie)...if i remember there was a glitch or two in the earliest release code, but that is fixable, if you have access to either a newer version of the cart or a flash2advance usb linker cable & the multiboot update file

I share your romantic idea of self-fulfilling music, but playing live is really fun, too, so why not?

well, the underlying current behind my post is this:
ive been making music as environmental sound collapse for what will be 10 years in september and its taken me that long to get up to having played approx 50 total gigs...most of my releases get less than 150 downloads...i frequently get ALMOST booked for gigs, but in the end i dont...if i concentrated on fame, gigs etc as if that were the purpose of making this music, id have given up a long time ago when making music is one the things i enjoy doing most

plus, this kid says he has 300 or so people following his youtube channel, and unless he spammed them until they added him out of pity, sounds like he already has more fans according to the internet than i do

making music with fame being your goal can only lead to dissapointment or soul-crushing compromise (with a handful of rare exceptions)

Re: Android tablet recommendations? (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)

i have an archos that i use mostly as a media player/video recorder, but they do alright on the internet stuff as well...thing is, they cost roughly the same amount as a netbook, so id honestly recommend a netbook over a tablet anyway unless you really need it to be pocket sized

Re: "new track from bookmarked artists" not showing up (9 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)

i still dont get why people complained about it, tbh
i liked the way it worked, saved me from having to hunt through the music page for the artists i listen to
