Here's what the wikipedia page of the album says:

Jarre utilised the unedited version as an ambient audience "warm-up" in the hours prior to the Paris la Defense concert in 1990 (and also in many concerts after this "first"), played on the specially installed public address sound system scattered ...

As I said before:
I downsized the files with ffmpeg and created a DVD:
ffmpeg -i <filename.mp4> -target pal-dvd -aspect 16:9 -acodec ac3 <filename.mpg>

Then I audit a DVD with a menu and all, and voila, a nice 5.1 DVD

Ups, must have overlooked this - sorry and thanks!!

Hi everyone,

please could someone explain, how to burn the 5.1 mp4 files to DVD or BluRay, so I can play the disc (like the AERO one, which works fine) in my Onkyo 5.1 system? Hints on the burning program and some quick notes on the settings and whether DVD or BluRay would be great!

Thanks in ...

I would love to go, but it's not affordable...

Hopefully there will be some other big event somewhere in central Europe.

For all those who are going to attend - have a lot of fun. Would be great to see some professional recording published on BluRay this time...

The Intro of Oxygene 17 reminds me a little bit of ATBs Ecstasy from 2004 (Album: No Silence)



(starting 3:30)

The announcement of an Oxygene sequel was quite surprising to me, because there weren't any hints in advance compared to previous releases of what ever album. No tiny pieces of information leading to something concrete within weeks or month, just 'BAMMM' - here is Oxygene 3 (ok a release date so far ...

Try this one:

I just spotted this on FB, it's not mine, but hope its ok to share?

This is great - the 'limited' and 'already sold out' part 2 of the box for 54,95 € (incl. shipping to Germany), while I had to pay 64,95 €.

Anyway - good for the people where MyPlayDirect screwed up and part 2 was not delivered.

A couple of weeks ago I reviewed my Jarre CD's to check whether I have every official release of albums in my collection. I was checking Wikipedia and to my surprise I found out, that there are different versions for CiC (and Revolutions, but that's a another topic) and that I only had the short ...

Something different: What is so important / interesting on the DR values. I'm not very familiar with those kind of things, but understood it is 'dynamic range'. But what does it actually tell someone / whats the benefit? Does it work for wav files only?

No it works on pretty much all audio ...

I'm honestly considering just doing a charge back on the thing after rethinking the whole thing. The information about the USB stick is a flat out lie, we had to wait a months before we actually get the album because we got corrupted files the day of release (and sixteen hours to late to boot) and ...

On the back of the lid, there's a certificate with a signature of JMJ and a number.

Just to make sure - you are talking about the back of the lid of the first box, shipped last year? Please don't tell me, you received the content of the second part in an extra box with lid... :|

Something ...

Just received the deluxe box that includes the 2 vinyls, Electronica 2 poster, 1 CD and an USB stick.

USB stick (32GB capacity) contains the following:

E:\1. MUSIC\1. ALBUM + MEGAMIX (all music as wav files)
18 regular tracks plus continous mix

E:\1. MUSIC\2. REMIXES:
01 - STARDUST (RISING STAR ...

Suggestion: All MyPlayDirect Experiences in this thread to keep the Electronica's threads 'clean' - if this is not wanted, just let me know...

The MyPlayDirect nightmare continuous (at least for me)... While I was happy to receive a shipping notification email for the deluxe box part two after my ...
