Not sure if this should go here but a visit to a thrift store netted these:
A two albums on one CD Frank Sinatra Capital albums Songs For Young QQers and Swing Easy. Sounds great.
I also got 5 classical cds complete Beethoven symphonies although missing a disc with 7 and 8 and a classical selection. Not prime orchestras or sound but they are encoded in Shure StereoSurround.
Which means mono rear like dolby but not frequency limited with no high end.
I'll probably never listen to them......

Actually I listened to the shure surroundsound encoded cd of Songs for Young Lovers.(hoky title for classical music)
Sounds pretty good with definite strong rear speaker emphasis of the strings. Starts with a performance of Pachelbels Canon by the Collegium Aureum whom Im familiar with and they usually use period instruments for baroque music if youre familiar with that. The selections which are movements from various composers are not bad.
 
Hitsville: The Making Of Motown
Berry Gordy's Fairy Dust

If you didn't catch this on Showtime, I feel sorry for you!
No Showtime, HBO or Cinemax for me. Cut those expenses years ago. No Hulu or Amazon either. I'm just a Netflix & Vudu kind of guy. So I've never heard of Hitsville before. I will google to learn more & I'm sure I can find it elsewhere.
 
Well, I just had the "scare of my life"....

Turned on my stereo, went to pull up a music file from my NAS, and the NAS went nuts......blue light blinking rapidly, and the green lights went dark.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

It carried on for 5 minutes, clunking and ticking.....I just sat here in horror assuming the worst. :sick: Then, out of nowhere, it sort of rebooted itself (never done that before) and after all was said and done, it works fine. But, I fear I need to make a move.......I hate to spend the money, but I need to invest in multiple backups. If I ever lost my music and all the weeks and weeks I spent getting it on my NAS.......
