My band opened a gig for Hate Dept a few years ago, had the 200MMX
on stage setup with a portable monitor, running our backtrack mp3s
through WinAmp. We're doing soundcheck, Siebold walks up and points
at my system and says "Is that that your home computer??" I just nod
and smile. He walks behind the computer, takes a look at the screen
and says "You're using mp3s as your tracks???" Another nod and a
smile from me.

He shakes his head and says "We're using a $1000 DAT machine to
pump tracks and you guys are using a free player program and a free
file format and your tracks sound just as good as our tracks. That's
awesome!"

Yeah, it is hehe....
