All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

I have put up a new webpage with rare hits collection of Maestro Ilayaraaja. I will try to put those songs that are either not commonly found nor available in other TFM pages. Please visit:

  Raj, Srinath, MSK, MS, Shibu, MPR, Shankar & all other well-wishers of this page:
  
  What i will do is try to put one number in Windows RealMedia format. You guys try to listen to it and post your response over here. I felt that Windows RealMedia file is better for certain songs under certain encoding. I do not know whether this might replace RealPlayer in future. So a honest feedback on this one would help me a lot in deciding on other new features once I come back from India.
  
  What do you guys say??? I am still tied up with my final exams. So I will try to upload it tonight and check for this in the SONGS 251-ONWARDS page.
  
  OK?
  
  Thanks,
  Rex

  Friends:
  
  You must be having WINDOWS MEDIAPLAYER for that.

  Rex:
  
  Can you upload this song as part of your gujaal songs upload: "Athi marakili katthum athu attha magala thaan.." from Paatukku Naan Adimai?? Also can you upload more songs from Kovai Thambi-IR movies (Motherland Pictures)? Almost every song of this combo is a hit, I would say.
  
  Thanks,
  KT

  Buvana:
  
  You are welcome. Enjoy more such rare hits available in my page.
  
  Kovai Thambi:
  
  I think I can do that. But give me some time as I have a final exam on Friday. I think I have already uploaded some numbers of KT-IR combination. For example:Udaya Geetham, Unnai Vaazthi Paaduginren, etc. I just lost a cassette full of Payanangal Mudivathillai songs. I will try to upload whatever I can, before leaving on vacation.

  RAJ,SRINATH, MPR, MSK, MS, SHIBU, RAVI & Other Friends of my page -- NEW EXPERIMENTATION :
  
  I am giving you 2 links down here. I really spent a lot of time doing extensive experimentation within the limited time that I could devote to these things.
  
  Link #1: File encoded under latest WINDOWS MEDIATOOLS for buffering song files. This is a strong competitor for RealPlayer G2 player. You need WINDOWS MEDIAPLAYER for playing this content. File Size is 0.68 MB. Format is 20.0 Kbps.
  
  Link #2. File encoded under RealPlayer G2. You need RealPlayer G2 for this content. File Size is the same 0.66 MB. Playing Format is also same as the above file 20.0 Kbps.
  
  Now all that you guys need to do is to provide me feedback on the content.
  
  Remember -- both the files are encoded from the same WAVE file; uploaded to the same server; encoded with the same option, etc. So tell me how the buffering characteristics are; how the song rendition is, etc.
  
  This is the first time I am doing this so that I can serve you guys even better, by providing you more quality content over internet. Though I cannot do much of further experimentation because of the very limited time I have, I can definitely get a grasp from your feedback so that I can work on it after my trip to India.
  
  Please do provide your feedback ASAP, as time is very short. WINDOWS MEDIATOOLS fail miserably for MONO files vis-a-vis REALPLAYER. But then, see for yourself how it outperforms RP for the STEREO files.

  Looking forward for your feedback.

  FEEDBACK:
  
  My own feedback -- .ASX file buffers almost instananeously thanks to the New Technology Microsoft has incorporated into its new product. .RAM file still has some problems as far as buffering is concerned.
  
  Volume level is somewhat low in .ASX file whereas it is more for .RAM file.
  
  .RAM file has buffering problems when it plays almost midway, whereas .ASX file continues to play without any buffering problems.
  
  Sound rendition in .ASX file is really good for this song even though it is not in many cases.
  
  Do you guys have anything else?? Please jot it down here. I will check this thread periodically.
  
  NOTE: when you use Windows MediaPlayer, if the player is not able to recognize the file format, it means that you have to download the appropriate CODEC which it will automatically prompt you to do. So that is not a big deal at all. The entire process is very simple.

  TIP:
  
  Geocities does not recognize file format .ASF and so you cannot upload such files to geocities.
  
  Shibu, MS, Balaji, Murali -- please note.

  Rex:
  Frankly, I couldn't find much of a difference. but I like RealPlayer's interface better. But if you say MediaPlayer is better, then I shall definitely take your word for it !
  
  And, andha "dirty" thread that you accidentally came across is for the purpose of trapping and filtering out the irritating elements in the DF like ragumanfan :-) Nejamave, that is no place for you ! So don't worry about what goes on in that thread !!! That will not affect the DF discussions in any way, except perhaps keep it cleaner ;-)

  Rex:
  
  Comparing 'Real Player' with 'Windows Media
  player', my vote goes for WMP. The sound is
  very clear in stereo format and there is minimal
  loss in the quality of sound. I can hear the
  treble notes clearly. I believe they're using
  mpeg2 format for asx audio files. That's why it's
  so clear, but somewhat inferior to mpeg3 which is
  acceptable when considering the size of files.
  
  Real player plays stereo files like they've
  been recorded from inside a well. I didn't notice
  that and recorded my files in stereo format
  before. But later on from you I understood
  that only mono format is good for Real player.
  Now I would say WMP is verygood for stereo
  content from your sample file. But it's not as
  popular as Real player. So it will take some time
  for people to get used to it.
  
  WMP does take very less time to buffer the
  whole song.
  Double THUMPS UP for WMP.
  
  Expecting some more gems from you in stereo
  content in ASX format. So only xoom recognizes
  this format?
  
  Thanks Rex for your experimentation and letting
  us know.

  MPR, Srinath & MS:
  
  Thank you very much guys. I am sorry that I am not able to frequent this thread because the entire University of Florida Network came to a grinding halt after severe rains lashed Gainesville this evening.
  
  MRP:
  
  Wonderful!! I really cannot stop admiring your way of seeing things. Awesome....The point you have mentioned--WMP sometimes creates sounds as if it is playing from the well is perfectly true. That is because WMP is trying to catch the treble notes as much as it can. So in that process it does this thing. Wonderful observation. Thank you!
  
  Srinath:
  
  Man....I just could not control my laughter after you `invited' ragumanfan to that thread and had a treat for him awaiting there. I think that thread was opened particularly for people to give vent to their feelings!! Do not worry. I am not frequenting that thread very often. I just do not have time to even finish up the pending uploads, these days. I have to start packing my computer this Sunday. I feel bad for the break. But then, maybe more threads might come up...like "Bass Scores of Raaja", "Treble Scores of Raaja", "Drum beats of Raaja", etc. That is the kind of post-mortem analysis I would like to see from IR fans.
  
  I really appreciate you guys talking about all that.
