±12       Ripable modules anyone?

±11I  have  now spent 2 years of my life
with   my   belowed   Amiga.    As  a
non-influent  user at the scene, I've
observed   the   evoulution   in  the
history   of   the   Amiga.   I  have
especially  been  interested in music
which is made on the Amiga.  This has
given   me   a   strong  passion  for
collecting   modules.    But  in  the
process   of   acquiering  about  500
different modules I was forced to RIP
the modules since I have VERY limited
access to Internet and other BBS's.

Now I shall present my main consern:

It takes a lot of time to rip all the
tunes  from  the  various  new  demos
which I get.  Why must I live through
the  seemingly  endless  scanning  of
MultiRipper  or  the hopeless work of
the ActionReplay hunter.

Amiga  is a multitasking machine with
the  most  desirable OS in the world.
There   are   people   who   runs   a
moduleplayer  in WB while doing other
things.   Such people enjoy listening
to    "musical    music"   (i.e   NOT
2Unlimited   (no   offence,   please,
techno-freaks)    because    of   the
orginality  and quality of the tunes.
So   why   isn't  it  easier  to  get
(±12read:RIP±11)   the   astonishing  music
which  is featured in the best demos?
Is  the  coders  so  protective about
their  new-released  stuff  that they
make the modules unrippable?  Anyway,
I   am  not  a  coder  and  will  not
approach  the  subject  from a coders
point of view.

I  don't  know  of anyone who loads a
track-disk  musicdisk  and listens to
it  more  than  5 minutes.  If people
could  put  the  songs on a DOS-disk,
life  would have been more giving for
music  lovers.  The music will end up
on  Internet within a couple of weeks
anyway.

I  hope  that  modules  won't  be  so
rediciously  protected  by  composers
and  coders,  because excellent music
(it's art!) should be shared and work
as  a inspirational kick for aspiring
mucisians.   Only  the±13 best±11 composers
use  their  own  samples  (from their
synths)  and  shall  not  bother with
others  who  rip their samples.  This
is  because  only  original  music is
praised    by   people.    The   true
composers  will  always  behold their
pride!
