You behave like a little boy. I asked AI and it says 4 minutes to compress a CD. 50 cds times 4 minutes 200 minutes. Waste of time. Just use Youtube.

I just wait for the weekly new releases and burn them to 320 MP3's. Lossless is a better format but MP3's are very good for sound on a CD.

So you still don't know....what a dolt!

I do know. It is compressing music without losing content. I asked AI as I don't know everything. You're a boy on a computer. You will never be a man. Why nobody likes you.

Pay an agent? Do a muay thai course?

From my inquiries, it's unusual for Muay Thai or language schools to accept oaps, because immigration prefer oldies to get a retirement visa, (otherwise I would maybe be learning Chinese again in Pattaya)

Can rip it into a lossless format and play it anywhere.

Fred is 70, he'll be losing 60% just with his old ears.

Not sure but lots of muay thai schools promote visas. Lots of good ones.

For me, MP3 is a format of last resort. There is so much missing in the music. I find it hard to listen to it. But it's better than nothing at all.

Think again. I can hear just as well now in most tones as before. I never shot guns without protection instead of while hunting, and don't blast music in an enclosed space, increasing the sound pressure levels which hurt the eardrum. And I'm 70 in August, so don't rush me.

It's not just a matter of the higher frequencies. For me there is a notable difference in the sound stage, switching from a lossless format to 320kbps MP3.

Come on...there's a natural deterioration with age and you haven't been tested to know that your hearing is much the same as before. No need to make things up 😊

Hopefully this year or early next.

I was tested a few years ago. I do know while hunting I can still hear deer walking from quite a distance. Everyone does lose some especially into the 70's. It's children's voices I lose some at a distance, so I do notice some situations.

Maybe you should try punctuation. It works.

I have to say that I'm none too keen on striking up a conversation with a hyperactive weirdo.

Bands? You sound like a teenager. 😊 I enjoy music and musicians across many genre.

Start packing the cds. It might take 6 months.

To me, that doesn't seem morally right.

I think that adults must come to terms with the fact that the Universe as we now know it is not concerned with morals, or morality, or what is right-or-wrong.

When we are very young, and children, some of us are willing to tilt at windmills, trying to fight hopeless causes, and change the world, even though it is not the world that needs changing.

It is best to become an adult, and expend one's energy on what is practical, and stop wasting one's energy on what is fruitless.

Choosing one's battles is part of becoming an adult.

So, YES, retirement is a ticking time bomb, but this unhappy circumstance has nothing to do with Thailand.

The ticking time bomb is one of longevity, and frailty.

Thailand is still the best.

Maybe I should lease some land here, before I become too old to do so.

Get one of those knock-down hardwood houses, and just chill.....

While the rest of the world wallows in MORAL DEPRAVITY.....

Or, even worse, ANXIETY....

Are retired people even happy anywhere? Clint Eastwood still works. Retired people seem to be the most unhappy people in their age group. If it was so good rich people would all retire at 30yo.

No it demonstrates the audience. Mostly old left wing people whingeing about Trump. They have no job or hobbies.

Morality is what makes people decent humans. No right or wrong and think of how the world would be. Our world's future relies oin our children and grandchildren, as it's still in chaos now. I thought you were going to move to China.

Yes, I caught some huge Carp and catfish on Phuket on my honeymoon, but the lake 60 meters from my house is almost void of fish as they net it constantly. I'm just waiting to go back to continue the real fishing.

You use your Marlin or Trout gear to catch that carp ?
