the cybercast picture
Paul Morgan
I have an ethernet connection and I wasn't impressed with the cybercast
at all. I was getting like 3 frames a second at the best times. I
can't imagine how bad it would've been like with a modem. Was it like
video for other people? Maybe there is something wrong with my
computer.

I'm one of the lucky ones with a cable modem connection giving me
approximately T1 speeds...the quality still sucked...mostly
unwatchable/unlistenable...shows you how wide the gap between hype and
reality with this Internet media stuff...

That and having your own computer, rather than depending on one at some cyber
public place, where you can't really download.

Nope. I have 128K ISDN and couldn't get a good feed at all. When I
tried the 40K feed, I would get abot 36K. When I shot down to the 20K
feed, I would get about 16K. It was a little better early in the show
(about 5PM PST) and towards the end, but all in all the video was
purty bad. On the other hand the still shots were pretty cool and most
of the time I could hear the music quite well...

don't even bother with the video unless you've at least got a t1 connection
. i thought the audio was pretty good...setting a 10second buffer size
actually improved sound quality for me(the default setting is 'buffer
entire clip to memory'). At some points , the keyboards were rather loud
though..
does anyone have any sales figures for Earthling? I read somewhere that
initial sales were 'disappointing'......

Yeah, it was like a bad bootleg, crappy quality, but still exciting in
some way for the novelty.

Not since the early '80s. Didn't you know, we're all in 12-step

I've got a T-1 connection from my university, and the quality was awful. I
ended up minimizing Real Player and just listening to it.

I have a T5 connection and it was still awful. The audio was OK. I logged
on the next morning and listened to the entire concert again but no video.
This technology has to improve before they can start offering these services.
I guess that's why RAPlayer is still free.

Yeah I did once, all you get is the taste of all the world telephones,
with all the strange substances that have been spilled on them. Those
payphones are nasty

it (location) makes a big difference. especially in rural areas. but
city location matters too. each routing point is a potential place
where information is lost in transit (causing delay and/or
necessitating retransmission) and the further apart two locations, the
more points. we listened on a 28.8 modem hooked up to a provider
with a decent line (T3?). the music was the best i've ever heard on
a live realaudio transmission. only two very short breaks (1 sec).
the frequency range was many times greater than what you would have
gotten just a year ago. i just barely caught it late thursday
morning (around 11 because i went to the "real" concert the night
before and thus was sleeping in after a four hour car ride) and it
would have finished playing if I din't have to leave for an
appointment. by the time i got on, most of the rest of the listeners
had gotten off, thereby freeing up tons of bandwidth
on the other end. now i just want to say that i have absolutely no
technical knowledge and have no idea what the fuck i just said.
