Even though they are old somebody surely still has a copyright...GateWay47 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 3:19 pmYes, I love those datafile cds. i was able to rip them if anybody wants a copy i have 1 to 3tehlord wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 6:10 pmThe most ubiquitous sample CD of the time was Zero-G Datafile.

I'm pretty sure they don't, I think Zero-G had to stop production of the Datafile's because at this point he was straight stealing the samples off of other records and making it his own on his sample cd.

The copyright is with the rights holders of the sampled material. But they are freely floating around the internet, seemingly unchallenged by takedown notices. So no one is pursuing the sample CD. Use an uncleared sample and they'll probably get you though.
There is also the X-Static Goldmine which competed with Datafile 1.
Future Music CD 1 was also heavily mined.
The quality in Datafile 1 is pretty astounding given the technology of the time.

In 1991, you were lucky if you even had a CD drive. My grandmother's OS 7 Macintosh had an external serial port one. Blu-ray is just now taking off after being introduced in 2006 and pushed really hard by Disney in the early 2010s. Just because CDs technically existed in the '80s doesn't mean everything switched right over. Hell, my 2001 Corolla still has a tape player and no CD player! Ha!

1991, I think I was still using an Atari then...must have been. Definitely not standard to have CD drives, though everyone I knew already had CDs in their hifi etc, and CD Walkmans etc were pretty common. In '91 I would have been using samples a lot, but I vaguely remember hooking up an external CD player to get them loaded into my Akai. And had to be saved onto floppy disk - which would have been around 5 breakbeats per disk...

I bought the brand new. top of the range Yamaha A3000 sampler in 1998 ... it had a floppy drive ... altho' to be fair, there was a SCSI connection and the option to add an 8GB HDD. There's a USB card available these days to replace the floppy drive.
