Another Perspective of The MP3 Scene by BonethuG (RNS)

Affinity 6 featured an article written by Conrail describing what he thinks the
MP3 scene is.  I  agreed  with  some  parts  of  it  but  the rest seemed to be
glorifying CDA.  Here's how I view the MP3 scene.

CDA (Compress Da Audio) first started in the MP3 scene and I  will  admit  that
but  just  because  you are first doesn't mean that you are the kings of MP3 or
something.  You guys had a  LOT  of  quality  releases  but you then started to
takeover other MP3 group channels.  Yes, you guys have the offer bots etc.  and
I'm  not  saying  that you guys aren't good, just saying that you ought to slow
down on glorifying yourselves  without  giving equal representations to others.
Plus you guys still have potential, you still have many  releases  coming  your
way.

Next  I  see DAC, the Digital Audio Crew.  You guys started right after CDA and
released a whole messload in  a  short  period  of  time!  You cranked out 100+
releases in a couple of days and got your group together quickly.  Even  though
rumors  speculate  that  you  guys release radio quality stuff, I still believe
that you have potential.

And of course RNS  (Rabid  Neurosis)  which  has  been  in this thing since CDA
started but started to grow later than DAC and CDA.  So we  came  out  and  got
together  a group and started to rip and release.  I think we have potential as
well.  I think that we  are  the  most  talked  about group (negatively) but we
aren't the kind of people to even care about that.

When RNS, CDA, DAC were are releasing and going about  our  business,  CEA  and
MTDS  and TWB popped up.  These groups I know little about but judging by their
releases CEA has the most potential,  even  though they duped many of CDA's and
RNS's past releases.  MTDS releases the stuff that isn't out, so I commend them
for that.  TWB are warez bearz who release warez + music, awesome huh?  <g>

To sum it up, I think that all groups have potential as  long  as  the  members
have  music, and as long as they stay friendly and convenient.  Besides, we are
all in this for the fun  and  for  pleasing  others right?  So let's keep it at
that!  Good luck to all, peace out, drink Sprite(R), and read AFT(R)!
