Location: Wichita, KS | Given the requests posted here for copies of the CD artwork, I'd like to make this suggestion for future CDs: Burn the disk in two sessions. First the music tracks, then a data session with the label and jewel case artwork. Unless someone out there has need for higher resolution, 300dpi JPEG files would probably be sufficient for our purposes. |

but I have a feeling Dave stuffs the disc with as much music as possible which leaves little room for additional information. |

Actually I think future "OFC CDs" should not be physical CDs but should be completely downloadable including graphics and liner notes. I mean, when was the last time you actually bought "a CD".
For the most part I either listen to vinyl or MP3's

Location: closely held secret | I think you're right, Dave. Then nobody can complain about how long it's taking to get to them. Other than their d/l speed, that is.
Then we can print the artwork, burn the mp3's onto cd's and still feel special. |

I still buy CDs all the time and am slowly replacing my vinyl collection with them. I digitize and burn the more obscure vinyl records in my collection which will probably never be available in CD form.
I even have a legal size scanner so I can reproduce the album jacket and inserts as accurately as possible. Overkill? Maybe, but it keeps me out of trouble.
I love having the liner notes and the art. They round out the package and add to the enjoyment of the music. It's sad to see the demise of 12-inch albums and the great stuff that came with them. Who didn't hang that great poster on their wall when "Dark Side of the Moon" was released? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I bought 3 or 4 CDs in the last couple weeks. I only change when forced to do so. I don't have an mp3 player and haven't knowingly downloaded any music ever. The other day our daughter offered to download an album for us, but I told her I preferred to buy the CD and did. |

Location: Utah | I prefer to buy the CD and get the wav files and the cover art, small as it may be. Somehow, having a commercial product in hand seems like a better value than downloading bits and bytes. MP3 downloads seem too ethereal for stuff I want to keep. Besides, the home stereo and car CD players don't play MP3 discs. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | OK FOLKS THAT'S IT. OFC CD VOL.3 is SOLD OUT
Thanks to all those who participated on the project and all those who purchased the CDs. I shipped just over 100 of them!
A few folks bought multiple copies, maybe to give to their friends so thanks for that. Hope they enjoy them. One fellow bought 10 of them! I also sent some to our friends back in the factory so they can hear what Takamines sound like - JUST KIDDING !!!
The last small handful went to Miles to put in the OFC store in case anyone in the future wants one.
Thanks again. Hope we can do this again in the future.

Great job all the way around.
It's the closest I'll ever come to being "distributed". |

Thanks again Dave. |

I see the AGF has produced a CD (that took forever) and they are begging people to buy them.
Must be all the Taylor's on the songs :eek: giving people pause.......... |
