Hi, first I have to say I am new to MJ and LOVE it!

I am trying to recommend it to a friend but don't know which version to recomend. (MJ5, 6, 7.2 or 8.0?)
Basicly: what version would run the best on a very minimal system? (pentium'S' 100MHz, with 16MB RAM in Win95)

I know that the web-site says it runs in Win95 -(and I presume this refers to MJ7.2), but would an older version work better? -(or even would MJ8.0 be best?, -hopeful I know!)

Please help me out.

Cheers, and keep up the great work.

peleton de tete ou peleton d execution?

zevele10

I am sorry, I do not speak French (I am a very uneducated Australian).

I have come to use "peleton" as a handle (mainly because the first time I used it "peloton" was taken)

I do not fully understand what you said, but if you were asking what I am refering to by peleton, well I am a triathlete so I simply refer to the cycling context of the word (peloton) as our group of bikes. (I presume peloton means something like 'group' in French?)

Anyway, I am curious as to exactly what you asked, could you translate please?

Cheers

I have very found memorys of your country,really
Sorry your user name and some mistakes.-in your case really tipping ones-not like me.... gave me to think you are french.
I will try to translate.Beside this i am not sure to be able to say in french what is a peloton.Anyway ,more than one person

Peleton de tete is really about what you say: cycling. de tete = on the head
so means leading peloton in cycling.I am mad about cycling.I did some but at very low level.
I am mad to the point to start to work at 5 in the morning during the Tour de France to be able to be at 4 in the afternoon in front of the tv.....

peloton d execution is much less funny.when you ?.When you put someone to death using guns
do not know the word in english.The people who fire the guns are the peleton d execution

Beside this i do not have answer to your question.Only i do not think you can get any version before 7.2 right now

I have a very smooth spot for many "down under" bands
Have a nice day or evening.I just do not know the time over there
Here,in Tel-Aviv,in 12 minutes ,we start tuesday

Hi peleton and welcome onboard,

I think you should now use MJ8.0, maybe when the final version comes if you
don't want to be bothered by some bugs. Actually MJ8.0 is pretty stable by now (8.254)
Any way MJ 7.2.280 works also very well and might be best if you intend using an
older machine. I have it installed on a Celeron 433 Mhz/192 Meg and it works very well.
As for running it on a P 100Mhz / 16MB I can't tell. Definitely I think MJ8.0 wont run
properly on such a machine. For MJ 5.0 or 6.0 you should simply try.
I remembered I once tried to run Winamp on my old 486/100Mhz/16MB/Win95
and it was awful ! Too much work for the poor processor. I might try to run MJ on this machine
just for fun, I'll tell you !

For the OS part, MJ runs well on W98, WME, WNT, WXP I don't know about W95.

Zevele is one of our master entertainer her on MJ interact, you'll soon meet the others Next Page

In french a peleton is a group of guys. It can be a group of bicylce racers like
in the famous race "tour de france" (peleton de tete)

Zevele, t'es vraiment trop Next Page

Have fun with MJ and the interact gang !

Thanks guys,

zevele10, I too am a huge cycling fan (we don't get much of The Tour live on T.V. here, but I stay up all night for what ever they do show. -go Stewart O'Grady!, -go Credite Agricole! -I even have a CA team jersy which I wear on training rides)

yay! -there are cycling fans here at MJ talk-back! Next Page

It is a dream of mine to eventually get to France and watch a Tour live! (oh I am getting all excited...must calm down..)

O.k. I'll stop after this last q:
zevele10: which team do you follow? (I am a CA fan -pretty much because of O'Grady)

Cheers

zevele1 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 22, 2002, 02:13:38 pm »

And now,my dead JimH you get cycling Tour de France heads on your forum!!!More than a product it is also a philosophy your jukebox...
I was a great fan of Festina team.One of the best team ever.Much much better than the Amstrong team.And i am still a great fan of Virenque
The Kalme team was also a very good one.Credit Agricole did a very very good tour.Not only
O'Grady.There is an other one in the team.Just can not remember his name.
Credit Agricole still have a very strong team this year.
The saison is on since one month.It is mainly world cup races.Paris-Roubais,Liege-Baston-Liege,fleche wallone.Soon the tour of Suisse and Italy.The tour of Italy is better and better
I got most of it on Eurosport.The french chanel i get here gives it only on saturday.Only the Tour de France is everyday.The best etapes[stages],they give it from start to end.Like from 11 in the morning up to 5,6 in the evening.Do not expect me to answer phone...Stange,but for my customers,i always get letter from the army when there is the climbing stages.........
This year the circuit of the Tour is a very sh##ty one

The only other sport i like,i played is rugby.I am waiting for the next world cup,and like you for velo[bike] i will have to wake up in the midle of the night

I do not know if the other french is a Tour de France head,but he gave you answers about your question ,so he not that bad...............

listening to Midnight Oil as a hello to you

I have MJ 7.2.272 installed on a Pentium Pro, 150 MHz, 32 MB ram, Win98SE; runs ok. V8.0.xxx would not install - it requires a processor with MMX.

Welcome to Interact.

zevele10,
I believe our closest term to match "peloton d execution" would be "firing squad".

zevele10

the other great rider from the CA team is Bobby Julich (he finished in the top 20 of last years Tour), but the other good CA rider: Yens Voigt is also a favourite of mine. Whom did you mean?

I am impressed with both your taste in sport (cycling and rugby) and your taste in music (Midnight Oil).
-I too used to play rugby (for my university team) but I think my (slight) body is more suited to cycling and running -(hence I switched to triathlon)

to everyone:
thanks for the warm welcome,

zevele1 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2002, 03:03:20 pm »

In fact i mean both!
There is something funny about Midnigth Oil.In France they been very big.I saw them in 5000-10000 seats venues[and the venue full]
When in London,they play in few hundred seats places..In London i saw them unplug with arborigene music instruments.Without electricity it was more powerfull than most of other bands

My other "down under" faves:Go-betweens,Triffids,THE SAINTS,Hoodo Gurus,Bad Seeds.Beast of Burdon and many more
But MO,Saints,HG and Go-b at the top
And MO and G-B at the very top

Welcome Peleton. Glad you like MJ. It IS the best!
Hope you have many happy hours with it.

Oh.... When you put someone to death using guns... It's called "shooting" them or "Pay back" (depends on how you look at it)! Next Page

i version or so ago i think the minimum was 166 mhz, but i put a computer that was 500 mhz in goodwill 2 months ago.

anything used less that 500 mhz should be in the trash, and my 700 mhz computer will be heading in that direction shortly.

When I read this

But now I see you meant

Or at least, I hope it is so.

So where is the velodrome in Paris that Hemingway wrote about? The stories were in a suitcase that his wife, Hadley, was bringing to him in Switzerland. The suitcase est disparu, but the velodrome?

So in all seriousness, what is the lowliest system out there running MJ7 or 8? I don't think I qualify; PIII600 512MB 20GB.

Scronch

peleton · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2002, 01:35:41 am »

yes, seriously now.
I am trying to convince people to switch from Winamp.(which they are using successfully on P100's, P150's and systems with as little as 16MB RAM!)

-sorry KingSparta we don't all have the luxury of being able to upgrade (my parents just got their first computer: P166 32MB RAM).

Also those of us still living the poor student life would love someone to GIVE us a 500MHz system!

I have downloaded MJ5.0 and MJ6.0;

JimH: would MJ6.0 run on a 100MHz/16MB system? (just for music)

I found out about MJ6 here: http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~djmrob/mp3decoders/index.html
(I have been using this article as an example of why people should switch to MJ.

I do not remember where the old one was.Maybe "it is magic" knows,let see

Cmagic · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2002, 05:18:45 am »

Well,

I think the old velodrome of Paris was the "Velodrome d'hiver" known as "Vel d'hiv".
It was located in the 15th arrondissment not far from the Eiffel Tower.
It was surely a place for cycle racing before WWII but it is sadly known
as the place where about 13,000 jewish men, women & children were transfered to on july 1942 16th.

A very, very tragic moment of our history.

There is now a monument on the "Vel d'hiv" site, Boulevard de Grenelle.

JimH · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2002, 05:49:27 am »

Thanks, Cmagic, and Zevele.

What a sad ending. I'm sorry to have brought up this tragedy.

We are certainly a barbaric species at times.

On the other hand, I'm astonished sometimes at the intelligence and beauty that man can create. Even on Interact. I keep thinking about Zevele's descriptions of life in Israel, and about Harry the Hipster's prophetic remarks on where U.S. diplomacy would have to go. Tullio's eloquence, KingSparta's cat's meal, doof's ice diving, Mhorton on the desert, C8's wren truck, Callithumpian's corner office overlooking Sydney harbor, friends we've never seen in Japan, Ukraine, Norway, Switzerland,... views of men building a steel structure in space. It's a nice place here.

Cmagic · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2002, 05:58:59 am »

You're right Jim,
MJ Interact is certainly the place I like the most on the internet,
it's really a place where the folks are fine...
and you are the Godfather aren't you ?

Badger · « **Reply #23 on:** April 23, 2002, 08:03:00 am »

Peleton,

I'm successfully running MJ 7.2 on a P133 Laptop with 48mb RAM. The files are served up from another desktop system over a 10mb home network. I notice maybe 1 or 2 "skips" per hour so I'd consider this configuration as barely acceptable. If I upgraded the network card in the laptop to 100mb maybe it would never skip? I was going to donate the laptop but then thought I'd try it as kind of a remote MJ station. The line out from the laptop runs through my stereo so the sound is excellent.

peleton · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2002, 08:18:44 am »

Thanks Badger,

hmmm.. I think the skips you experience must be from the bottle-neck at the processor (133MHz) because I have successfully watched movies over a 10mb network connection here at UWA. (thanks to my students ripping off DVDs!)

But this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for in this thread.
-So is it safe to assume that MJ 6.0 (or even 7.2) will be happy enough on a 100MHz system? (with some concessions perhaps)

Cheers
peleton.

Do you know which building is now instead of le vel dhiv? Le Village Suisse?
I also-as anyone can see..- spend a lot of time on Interact
There is a very strong felling of be part of a community.And not only when speaking about serious things.A weather check,an evening meal give "a instant picture" of different way of life
And very important all here are people of quality,in one way or another.So you feel like to go to a very cosy bar to have a drink and a chat when you log in Interact

Not the case in many other forums

trying to listening to some industrial\
new wave music.I found a full bag at $2.5 the cd,new
But seems like this kind of music or me do not stand so well the passing years.

Scronch · « **Reply #26 on:** April 23, 2002, 11:30:38 am »

My interest in industrial stops after KMFDM and White/Rob Zombie. Funny how Zombie isn't normally included under industrial (heavy, admittedly), even though Sasha Konietzko of KMFDM worked with him in the early days (and shaped his style a lot, IMHO).

Cmagic · « **Reply #27 on:** April 23, 2002, 01:19:45 pm »

Zev,
I don't what they built at the exact "Vel d'hiv" location. I know there is a monument
but I'll check that for you as I have to go to my "Company" headquarters on Friday.
The headquarters happens to be just a few block away The Boulevard de Grenelle.

Yep, same for me, MJ interact is just like a second home.
By the way / A propos, Why don't we organize a Meeting of the interact folks,
I mean a real meeting, in a real bar with real beer and stuff.
We could organize one in the US and one in Europe,
Zev would you come ?
Just thinking...

The industrial music i found today is much older than the one you spoke about
Throbbing Gristle,Test Dept,Clock DVA,Laibach,and Chrome

zevele1 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 24, 2002, 04:55:09 am »

Because you are in US
In Europe,it was at the end ,just after punk.Today not a music with many followers
I was a great fan and friend of Throbbing Gristle.We did the first record of the label Sordide Sentimental with them.To be fair i was only more or less part of the aventure.
Other records include Durruti Colum,Monte Cazazza,Joy Division,Tuxedo Moon,Savage Republic,Psychic TV and one or two more i do not remember
Concerning Bluehand ,tell them to put some music on they site.Even only stream ,or some songs from concert

I'd like to run your Media Jukebox on my Commodore 64. I'm new to this computer stuff, and just bought the Commodore at a barn sale for $300--that is really cheap compared to the prices down at that Gateway store. I didn't pay the extra hundred dollars for the floppy box thing, so I hope you can mail your program on a cassette tape ("digital storage", they told me). I haven't found the speaker yet, so I hope I can hear my Carl Perkins records when I play them with your Media Jukebox. I might add some clear plastic tubes full of colored water to my new Commodore, run some bubbles through them, and set it out as a real jukebox at the next hoedown.

I found some good country tunes played by my trusty c64. Not them new fangled mpthrees, but good sounding "digital muzac". The little beeper has some trouble with the highs, so I'm hoping your media jukebox can fix that. For now, the horses are a'stompin and the cows are giving lots of milk. Can't wait to try MJ-c64. Heck, I may even close the doors so the missus doesn't hear me play some of that risque cross-dressin stuff by that young feller johnny kash. He shore has a pretty voice, even if he does blow east and west.
