Farewell, Syd
Sad to hear that Syd Barrett has passed away.
I sat down today and watched Pink Floyd's Earls Court show, which I've been keenly awaiting for years, and finally got my hands on yesterday on DVD. Was a bit sad and tearful watching the band playing "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" and "The Great Gig in the Sky". And without Syd it would never have happened it the first place. Farewell, Syd, and thanks for giving us the most wonderful music and times.

Yes... farewell to the craziest diamond...
An article from Atomic you will still find useful under Linux, given the quality settings they prescribe. I stick with 192Kbps, nice and simple!
It's all relevant, after all, who wants to be remembered for their music at 128Kbps?!
