Will you be able to burn Meteora?

Does anyone know if you are going to be able to burn the cd. I say this because I was planning on putting both Hybrid Theory & Meteora on one cd. If anyhone has any info that would be great.

 

Well since HT was 30-35 minutes and Meteora is supposed to be 35 minutes I'm sure you can.

 

I sure as hell hope that by "burn" you mean take two cd's you've BOUGHT and burn them onto one cd.

If you mean your going to download the songs I think that's really lame and cheap and that you should actually fork out the money for the albums.

Why do I say this?

4.5 Million POSSIBLE SALES of Hybrid Theory were lost to people who chose to download the cd instead. Many sales of Reanimation were also lost to the same thing.

To everyone: Go buy the album. Don't be a cheap ass and download it. [/b][/quote]
for real, buy the cd and then put the songs on your computer if you really want to have meteora on your computer, but come on 4.5 million albums lost to cheap asses....so you add that to already a 14.5 million, and if you take away the cheap asses HT almost sold 20 million! so get your ass off kazaa or whatever you download from and go buy the cd!

 

Well, when l.p. were unknown, their napster fans first listened to their songs and then went to buy the cd... but now, no one must go and kill l.p by downloading ILLEGAL tracks...
BTW, u can surely burn both HT and Meteora into 1 CD... Even a 700MB one should do the job. :chemist:

you know it's funny. i tried to say something like this in another post, about downloading being bad in my opinion and i got completely nagged on. but THEN, this guy says something in a very blunt manner (a manner in this case i support by the way, don't get it confused) and people are now saying, "yeah, i agree!" what's up with that? just wondering.

 

ht and meteora on one cd would make it like a "god". you can never get tired of it.

 

I just buy the albums if most of the songs are really good, no doubt for Linkin Park's. And download songs that I like. For example, I downloaded "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence, because it is the only song that I like, honetsly. So I wouldn't buy her album. In the other hand, if most of the songs caught my attention I'd buy it.

 

Actually, CD sales hardly profit LP themselves. The record labels get the money from sales. I'm going to download whatever I want, not do want a greedy record label tells me to do. Yes, I bought Hybrid Theory, yes I'm going to Meteora. But it doesn't mean you have to rag on someone who prefers to download (I don't know what INeedACureForTheItch is going to do) the album rather putting out 20 dollars for a CD that costs 5 dollars or less to make. And besides, I'm going to download the album first and see if it's any good before I buy it.

 

Your right the record company does get most of the money from the record sales. Does it make sense if you are a LP fan to go out an burn a copy of the CD and not support the band. How do you think a band beocmes popular and famous. Is it from their record sales or from the amount of copies the get burned off the net? Tough question eh. Also, when it comes to winning AMA's or grammys for best album what do you think they look at the amount bought or burnt copies. C'mon people use your head.

 

When I originally posted this, I meant burning the two "Original CD's" onto one cd. So I didn't mean to come across as if I was going to burn all the songs.

You gotta remember, when Mike said that, he meant just download. He probably didnt mean "yea we dont mind if no one buys our albums and just burns them".

 

There will always be a percentage of sales lost due to internet piracy, 4.2 was just an estimation, after Hybrid Theory went 8x platinum, i think LP would be enjoying their success more than "Darn! we are 4 million short!"

not everyone is rich, if 8 million albums were sold and 4 million others "appreciated" the album, then it's a win-win situation, you can't force people to buy somthing they do not want to buy by calling them cheap asses. Does it make u less of a cheap ass if you go ahead and waste your money on albums you don't want to buy? I think the word is stupid. Up to this point, HT, reanimation, even Frat Party has been certified platinum by the RIAA.

The motivation needed for someone to download a Cd is much less than someone buying the Cd itself with their own money. So at least half of that 4.2 million people would not bother buying the Cd or even try to listen to it if the internet didn't exist. It's give and take, the internet helped Linkin Park start out with the street teams and promotions, obvisouly it has its down side also. It's up to the individual whether or not they would like to purchase the Cd.


And if Warners want to fish in as much cash as possible, they take whatever action is needed:


"...record labels are now taking unprecedented steps to protect their merchandise. Perhaps no disc has been more heavily protected than Linkin Park's Meteora due March 25th. None of the copies have left the custody of the band members, management and executives at Warner Bros. When the album was being mastered, the band had security guards on hand in the studio twenty-four hours a day to prevent any leaks. As tracks were finished, all earlier CD versions were destroyed. Press, radio programmers and retailers can only hear the album by going to the company's offices." -Rolling Stones

 

Thank you. I was going to write something as long as this but no one ever listens! Hopefully people read this.

 

Well, if we dl all songs via P2P, no one will ger hurt. It's just that Warner will be hesitating to publish a new L.P. cd :chemist:

 

You have no idea how badly Warners wants LP. Back around '99 Warners asked a band called Dry Cell under WB to rewrite a song simply because some said it sounded like the style of LP. And the record label did not want to bother LP bout this problem.
and hestaitin? why on earth would they hesitate on another most likely 8x platinum recocord sale? Cuz they only have the chances of gaining 8 million instead of 12 from their income? LP is one band Warners would not want to drop no matter what. Out of all the artists Warner keeps, not many of them has gone multi-platinum like LP, infact, everything LP has publish to this point has at least a 1x platinum. LP is one of Warner Bros. Record's biggest source of income!

 

You shouldn't count everything in x platinum.Really, if WB sees that a great number of Meteora CDs gets downloaded, tey'll say "wait, one moment all the discs may be downloaded via Net. Is it worth risking it?"
And, u know, that's not the way fans think, but music industries.
And that's because L.P. had the biggest song download rate in 2001.
That's why we shouldn't hurt even a little l.p. this way. :chemist:

 

Ummm hmm buddy. Then Warner does not want to keep LP signed and LP ends up without a record label. Usually without a record label it is easier to get your music out there right? Plus, if you are a true LP fan, honestly why the hell would u even consider downloading the whole album. I don't even know why this argument is occuring in the first place.
