Lets have a Winge / Gripe City - Re: Doris Day Singles Collection Volume 5
« Last post by punkinblue9 on Tue 20 Feb 2024 13:21:03 »
There are six volumes of Doris Day "Complete Columbia Singles", offered only as digital downloads.  Volume 5 was atrocious.  You could hear what sounded like tape drag, along pops and/or clicks.  You'd think someone would have listened, before releasing.  They have the means to eradicate these disturbances.  You'd think an austere recording company would not release something akin to an off-label brand, or aspire to better recording efforts.  I do know that way back when, this single collection was suggested but it was met with disdain.  It's like they don't care about their product(s).  I do realize it may be a little late in the game, to release a dubious "remastered" version, but people are still paying good money for an inferior product and that irks.

Friend, wrote the liner notes for A Day At The Movies, so I do know they (Sony) can do better, but that album was headed by someone else, who has long since left Sony.  www.discogs.com/master/2609804-Doris-Day-A-Day-At-The-Movies

Wish they cared more.

Thanks Ratso.

As I said... hopefully Pixeldrain will do some house keeping and sort it out SOON.
I should think they would be very keen to get back on good standing as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Oz

That's disturbing, as I use this frequently. My security hasn't detected any nasties, but that might be a comment on it rather the the existence of malware.

I won't use it for posts on this forum in future.

Lets have a Winge / Pixeldrain.com
« Last post by ozmuze on Mon 05 Feb 2024 17:59:45 »
Hi everyone... I thought it prudent to give a heads up to all those who use Pixeldrain.com...
As of last Friday, the website was placed on a list of websites that "possibly" have malicious software - MALWARE.

How I know this is because the WA firm that manages our home computer network has told me.
How did I find out?  As part of our management contract with them, they installed Webroot Endpoint Protection on all our computers.  This is a very effective layer in virus and malware protection.


I did ask them if Pixeldrain.com could be put on a list of exceptions... unfortunately the answer was no.... although the guy I spoke with did try for one of Deutros' posts that I was keen to get.
The bottom line - after the site was "excluded" on Webroot so I could download Deutros' post, it was STILL blocked... but (perplexingly) intermittently.

I got back on the phone and explained what I was experiencing, and was told that they put a "wildcard" next to the URL for Deutros' post, so it SHOULD NOT be blocked any longer. BUT if it is, then something in Pixeldrain is changing... therefore they won't be putting a "wildcard exception" on the ENTIRE website, so as to protect all their clients.

They (my network managers) are of the opinion that once Pixeldrain becomes aware of that they (Pixeldrain) should make the necessary changes to regain their safe standing... and this has yet to happen, if indeed it does.
In the meantime I have been advised not to use it.

I have asked both Deutros and Bondie if they would put an album each had, somewhere else, if only temporarily... thank you both by the way!

In the interim I am asking if those who use it would consider a mirror site somewhere, if at all possible?


Sorry for this inconvenience, but I thought the forum should be made aware.

Cheers,
Oz
