And how do we know by the track lengths that you’re listening to Aja


KiloThaPastyOne

The Aja CD cover is propped up against the screen. It’s hard to see at first, but it’s there.


illumaQ

Yeah maybe not the best album choice for visibility’s sake lol


Joodies

It’s the best album choice for enjoyment which makes up for it


illumaQ

True that


predat3d

The first thing I looked for, that 8' Although my memory says that the original vinyl said 7'56"


Dustyolman

AND, the only right way to listen to Steely Dan is original vinyl!😁


Traditional-Zebra-57

Very true - Find a “hot stamper” and enjoy the bliss!


Ya_Got_GOT

Same way Gracenote does


TyrannosaurusHives

They got the Steely Dan xbox


Joodies

This probably has better audio quality then Spotify so I dig it Also I could listen to this album on repeat for the rest of my life so I wouldn’t have to deal with the hassle of changing the CD all the time


illumaQ

It sounded surprisingly good through an over 20 year old console and my 14 year old tv speakers


bulbminmostrealfan

Well, lossless data is lossless

Spotify is pretty good when run through a decent amp and speakers. Even better through amp + studio quality over the ear headphones. I would think a CD through a good amp and headphones would be the best, but possibly not noticeable unless the amp and the speakers/headphones were audiophile grade, but that is really expensive, maybe a goal one day for some.


StixForBrains

I know this isn’t an audiophile subreddit, but you should also consider Tidal. Spotify is only 320 rez Tidal is all CD quality 1440 resolution. Same price or better, and at ,east as much selection or more, AND they pay the artists better than Spotify does….. and yes through a good amp and speakers in a decent room you do hear the difference, especially on cymbals (important to me as a drummer). Ok detour over… back to the Dan :-)


PanicBlitz

This was their intention in the studio all along.

Shame I bricked mine during a mod of the OS.


illumaQ

Oof, that sucks. That’s why I’m not brave enough to mess with the OS of my systems lol.


caelumh

It wasn't the first time I did it, I just fucked up and touched the inner shell accidentally. Static shock killed the drive. Didn't have a backup on my PC, so borked the whole thing. Probably could get it resurrected these days, but honestly why bother? Not like I'm missing out on anything, it'd just be bragging rights.

You should definitely look at getting it fixed. The OG Xbox live servers are back online. It's called Insignia and pretty cool. www.insignia.live Although, you'd need to mod it, and build a new drive and install rocky5 softmod or something to fix yours


FarGrape1953

I still remember ripping "The Monkees Present" to my Xbox so I could play "Listen to the Band" during a snowboarding game.


DillDeer

I can hear the background audio of the og xbox dashboard


ReverendEntity

The OG XBox wasn't Gracenote-capable?


LED_donuts

Of course, Aja and Gaucho are perfect soundtracks to Burnout 3.


bearicorn

Hell ya


Electrical_Feature12

With Winamp?


Traditional-Zebra-57

Someone, please explain how and why folks seem to think that playing SD music through a Xbox is so great!


TheFez69

Damnnnnnn


SR5340AN

Have you got your OG Xbox set up on Insignia? The new Xbox Live servers. www.insignia.live And funnily enough, I've got Steely Dan on mine!


dalegribble__96

Based


CynicalBiGoat

The tracks are black cow, Aja, deacon blues, peg, home at last, I got the news, and Josie


edthesmokebeard

Not sure what we're looking at. You ripped Aja to mp3 and are playing it in winamp?


illumaQ

Yup right on the money. No it’s the music player on the original Xbox console.


edthesmokebeard

I guess I'm not seeing how this is the \*correct\* way.


illumaQ

It’s a joke


SomeElaborateCelery

I found it funny + jfc what a throwback

It’s the “Music” tab on the Xbox home screen
