Bargains - not CDs!

Sorry for my redundant post above, just seen this has all been gone through on the Bargains thread - Steerpike

DOWNLOADS
The eclassical site currently has 50% off Naxos 24 Bit recordings. If you follow the links there is quite a long list, so perhaps it is all of their 24 bit recordings.

(As a determined CD quality downloader, I'm not sure it offers any saving to me)

Actually it might. If you look at the site you might find that the CD quality downloads are currently priced more than the 24 bit ones - which seem to include the 16 bit CD and the MP3s as well. I checked a few and that does seem to be the case - though I've not done an exhaustive scan through.

Is this the same offer as the one I posted on the CD bargains? I’m easily confused!

Yes. The offer being downloads, I put it on the "...not-CDs" thread. I linked to the eclassical home page but it can't be missed as the offer is a big banner there.

I don't think it matters, as the Bargain CD thread contains a lot about delivery progress and few bargains these days so its not so strict - unless we need to agree some conventions as to which thread to use for downloads.

I’m easy about this, though when I started I wasn’t even thinking about downloads or music at all, but other things, such as electronics, software etc. I still think there should be a place for that kind of bargain, even if it’s only for tinned cat food!

You will notice that “not CDs” is the description - not “downloads”, though they are of course included, but are now swamping this thread.

Should we have one thread for ‘Music’ whatever the format, and one for anything else?

Or maybe "Recorded music"?

Yes, I was thinking ‘Music Bargains’

32 episodes of Inspector Morse on 32 DVDs for £6. (I've already got the final episode on my TV hard disc). Volunteering in a charity shop certainly has its advantages!

Most enjoyable disc set I have ever had (together with the BBC Alec Guiness/ George Smiley set). Stands repeated watching better than any other.
You can play "Spot Colin Dexter", and read background on morseandlewisandendeavour.com

I don't wish to be over-critical but it puzzles me why people want to watch episodes more than 2 or 3 times. Once you know the plot, surely the interest has gone? I watched an 'Endeavour' last night but I remembered all the nuances and really wouldn't be bothered again. All these series are usually available on some minor channels most nights and you can always record them without the ads. Same with people who buy box sets.
It's not just me, my sister feels the same.

There's a divide in our household - Mrs CS is in your camp. See once, that's it.

I'm prepared to watch a good film or TV programme more than once, and can get enjoyment from the experience - I got away with starting (and finishing) "The Imitation Game" a few nights ago.

I'm wondering (as I type) whether that extends to DVDs of opera performances. I've bought DVDs of productions and performers I have seen live. I'm happy to see many a piece, and production, more than once live, and the same on the DVD.

I've seen every episode of Morse at least twice: knowing what's going to happen encourages me to try to look into the mind of the writer and see how (s)he has structured each episode. Spotting early, previously missed, hints of what's going to happen is also rewarding. The same goes for 'Frasier' - every time I watch one of my favourite episodes I spot something I haven't seen before - and there's an amazing amount to discover in 22 minutes or so - gestures, movements, subtle wordplay, the constant recreation of the world of French farces - I could probably write a thesis on the use of doors!

The Early Music Shop currently has a sale of recorders (sopranos, sopraninos) which might interest some people - https://earlymusicshop.com/collectio...s-up-to-25-off

However, I think it finishes tomorrow, and it'll probably only really be of interest to very keen enthusiasts.
