    Oh, and I use Audacity, seems like it is one of the best from what I've read on the internet. My first rip was Lightning Bolt at 44.1khz and I made a cd of it and it sounds better than the cd I made converting the mp3s to wav files.

  • On Kickstarter:

    There will not be a Bob Dylan LE unfortunately. We're only a day away from freezing any new rewards. BTW, we'll shortly announce that any LEs that not pledge for will not be available after KS. So the LEs will be an exclusive KS offering.

    It's now 5-4 Rogers holding a 1 pono lead.

    This is going to come down to the wire in what some might call a classic finish!

    A thrilling finale! Pono hasn't seen a match come down to the wire like this in years.

    5-4 Portugal the Man!!!

    An unbelievable turn of events.

    If this plays out this way... PTM's dads are going to be the only people on the planet with the limited ed. pono players made in honour of their children... and... they will have successfully held off the coward of the county's attempt to outsell them.

    Freakin' nailbiting.

    Also, Pono just clarified...they will only make the number that has been pledged.

    So there might only be 4 Kenny Rogers Ponos made. How cool is that (except for the Kenny Rogers part).

    Dear Kickstarter backers,

    Here we are, with just 6 days left of our PonoMusic Kickstarter campaign. Your support has been overwhelming and gratifying, and we truly appreciate it. You can take pride in knowing that your personal support was instrumental in helping us kickstart a movement to revive the soul of music.

    We would like to inform you of a few very important updates that should help you with your donation decisions in the final week:

    • We are adding one more PonoPlayer called the Pono Clear to wrap up this amazing Kickstarter experience as outlined below:

    Pono Clear: PonoPlayer with transparent casing to fully view its inner details. Comes pre-loaded with a PonoMusic sampler specially curated by our founding team. Handmade leather case with presentation box. Plus: Website Thanks

    • Limited Edition Artist Signature Series (LEs):

    ◦ There will be NO new artists added to the Limited Edition Artist Signature Series offers during the remainder of the campaign.

    ◦ The LEs that are currently available are an exclusive Kickstarter offering and will never be offered again as serialized, signed PonoPlayers.

    ◦ All LEs that are not pledged for (in each lot of 500 available units per artist) will NOT be available on our Ponomusic.com store after the PonoMusic Kickstarter campaign. We will build and ship the units pledged for, up to the total number of pledges and then the series will close. For example, if there are 132 pledges for an LE then the serial numbers will be 1 of 132, 2 of 132, and so on. We will not produce PonoPlayers with the remaining serial numbers of the series that are not pledged for by a backer. This is a clarification of our previous process.

    ◦ The serial numbers on the LE PonoPlayers will be assigned based on the order the pledges were made. The first pledge gets serial number 1 and will increment in the chronological order that pledges were received.

    • VIP Listening Parties:

    ◦ There will be no additional VIP listening parties offered in any new cities – we have some capacity available in the NYC and Chicago events.

    ◦ Any remaining seats will not be available for purchase after our Kickstarter campaign ends on April 15th. If you are interested in one of these events then please make sure you act soon.

    We wanted to be clear about these “end of campaign” messages to avoid any confusion or disappointment for anyone wishing to support PonoMusic through Kickstarter. Again, we can’t thank you enough for your support.

    With our love and appreciation,

    The PonoMusic team

    Does anyone think the Clear Pono will FREE-UP any Pearl Jam Pono players?

    I wanted to see Led Zeppelin(thinking some Pearl Jam Pono's would become available?)

    I don't think I'm that lucky... Especially with 6 days left and the clears coming.

    Now PTM is leading Kenny 5 - 3. I think we are going to see a protest letter from Kenny to the league if he ends up losing this.

    These PONO guys are marketing geniuses! (and I mean that with total respect)
    How better to get people to buy the slow sellers than to make them the rarest and, in theory, potentially the most valuable?!
