John and I fly out to Oklahoma City tomorrow, where we have a booth at the IASCA 2000 Finals. The venue is the Myriad Convention Center, from 27th to 29th October (www.iasca.com for details).

If anyone is in the area it would be great to meet you. There's also a chance to win an empeg!

I probably won't keep up with the the BBS during my absence, so don't talk about anything important until I get back

Hmm, still may try to head out there, I'm in the mood for a long drive, as long as I can secure a laptop power cord for my car, my music needs should be met (but not exceeded like the empeg would do :-)

Let's see, PaulWay's 4 hour song for Kansas, and I should be sane when I get there.

TAKE PICTURES!! =]

I assume you mean you're going through Kansas South to North or else you drive REALLY fast to clear it in 4 hours.

Will you be able to use this as an opportunity to lobby IASCA for some sort of approval for the empeg in competition?

Please? Pretty please?

You're kidding, right? I thought I made this up (as a a joke when me & the fam were crossing Kansas when I was 10). Who'dve thought?

What are their objections?

What are their objections?

In a nutshell, IASCA wants the competition to demonstrate who has the best in-car music-playing equipment, and to do that they have to be sure that everybody is playing the identical music files, whether they be .wav files on the official IASCA CD, or files from someone's empeg. Otherwise, it becomes a contest for who has the best home recording studio and editing software. So how do you prove you are playing the "official" music when you are playing it from the empeg and could have re-mixed, re-mastered and revised it to your heart's content beforehand?

There is some discussion of this problem starting here as an off-topic offshoot of another thread. The problem is discussed several other places as well like this one .

I think this is a problem that will have to be resolved, as empeg-style playback is certainly going to be the wave of the future.
