The difference is that you can record programs, but not music :-)

Huh? I can (on DTV). In fact the suggest function is always recording
the rap and reggae channels when it is not doing anything else. I
figured this is becuase that is what I listen to most.

You probably have a Stand-Alone Tivo. You are wasting a lot of disk space
just to record a little music, as you recording the video and the audio.

Well, the video is pretty static so I bet the TiVo compresses the snot out
of it.

Any video will take the same amount of space with CBR recording. If
you have VBR recording enabled ("save disk space"), then it will take
less space, but I think the lower bound is still equal to the Basic
recording level.

Any idea what the derivation of using the word "snot" in that context
comes from? I've heard "beat the snot out of him", but never
"compresses the snot out of it". Given that liquids are not
compressible, I'm not sure it's the correct usage. I don't really care
cause it makes me laugh. Snot is a great word.

I'm sure I misused the word here. I too have heard it used in the way you
mentioned, but regardless of it's accuracy in this context, I believe it
still is a fair representation of the thought being expressed.

Mine is at this moment. I would say if there are any solids involved,
you are dealing with boogers, not snot.

Hell, I was about to mention (after seeing "The Man Show" in there) about how
our preferences were so alike!

Actually, no- in fact one of the problems I had with my SA recording the
MC Channels is the extreme compression of the video meant TiVo was doing
so much optimization the sound had dropouts in it. (Note how fast TiVo
whips thru at the 3X/30X speeds on a static screen).
