I just submitted a 200 dpi

I just submitted a 200 dpi version of what I tried yesterday and earlier today. Still no image even at the view tab/screen as though I was editing it from my account home page. I thought it showed up last time. I wonder if there is something else going on today since it has been hit and miss whether I see the scaled image or not after clicking on upload, before submitting since I've only hit submit twice so far from the same one today. If still no good I'll scrap this one.

Never seen a preview even at low res before submitting

I think because it is not released yet so the location it might be pointing to in the preview does have it yet until submitting??? After the first 300 dpi failure I was at the edit screen (had left the window open after submitting since it was not showing at my account page yet until it is released I do believe), upped a 200 dpi version, hit preview, saw nothing other than the scaled image until I hit submit and then at the view tab/screen I saw it. But that is a little different than the initial submit since that is like say everything is ok and one went to their account page and clicked on one of their fan photos to edit the title, description or change the photo. And one can't do that until release unless they leave the window open after submitting like I did. It appears 250 and I think 225 are no good too but lil confused since I was not getting the scaled image either after uploading the 250 one yesterday or the 225 one today. I resubmitted at 225 like I did for the first one at 300. I left the window open after submitting, uploaded the other version and hit submit. But testing at 225 since 200 works. I tried a couple of new test ones without clicking on submit and no preview or scaled image. Stepped away for a few then tried another test one and still no preview but the scaled image was there. Again I did not click on submit there, trying to avoid messing with your queue. I see only 2 more tests. The one I did yesterday and today I'll retry one last time at 200, still left the window open after hitting submit yesterday, then go to a new one at 225 but I'm thinking 200 dpi is the limit.

not seeing the preview does seem to be a good indicator, as I'm not seeing any image either.

RE: Baby Shower

Sounds like a cool baby shower, unlike any I've heard of before. Sorry I don't have any suggestions right now.

Greatful

what about a cd of fave Dead tunes for the invites? Combine with a meaningful baby tune or two, and voila! You can make the cover yourself, including the crucial information-time, date, etc. Or create the label yourself-and paste on the cd's then mail them inside a very thin cd envelope instead of a case. Then your guests have an invite they will keep and actually enjoy into the future, while remembering your shower.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

Baby Shower

I'm throwing a Dead baby shower and need some ideas! I'm buying white onesies for the guests to tie-dye. I'm still trying to come up with something cute for the invites...something catchy but not std. shower invite crud. We'll obviously be listening to the Dead, so taking playlist suggestions for the "normal" people coming who are rolling their eyes that I'm doing this! Ideas please, from my hippie friends. Peace, Love & Babies!

250 dpi

I just submitted a pic at 250 dpi and I did not see it in the preview, but non of the low res showed before either, and it is not showing after submitting. The 200 dpi one showed after the 2nd submit after the failed 300 dpi so I'm thinking 250 is a no go too. I will be AFK for a few hours and will check back later. Mary, you will probably be gone for the day, if it failed on your end I will resubmit at 225 dpi and that might be the final test since 200 works.

RE: 30 Days of Dead, I

RE: 30 Days of Dead, I downloaded the song and listened to it once, where did it go? I can't find it any more, do I get to keep it? I don't know where it is on my computer, I think it went to a temp folder but I want to hear it again.Thanx.

Turtle

If you do not know where you downloaded your file (it's the default place where ALL your downloads go if you didn't specify @ dload time)....I don't know if you have a MAC or WINBLOWS but just do a search for this~~~~> newspeedwayboogie Copy and paste that into your search and you will find the file...make sure that the date you put the file in was yesterday.

CC: thanx, I have Windows.

CC: thanx, I have Windows. Did the search, "no file found." I have just downloaded today's Dark Star, and did it differently, I hit 'Save' the file, yesterday I did 'Open.' I must not have the newspeedwayboogie saved anywhere. Any chance I can get another chance to download newspeedwayboogie? Appreciate the help. :-)))

registration merry go round aka dead end

I can't get registered here ... about to give up. I tried to register as marshallstax but it keeps saying my email is already in use... it might be because due to getting replys in my spam folder I also registered as mstax. I WANT TO REGISTER AS MARSHALLSTAX NOT MSTAX!! Much more of your catch-22 games and I'll just give up... life's too short for the hassle just to get registered here!

um, marshallstax...

I assure you that if you are posting as marshallstax you are duly registered. The system has been a little overtaxed since yesterday so you may have experienced some strange behavior, but it looks like it's working...

cant post

in here if you aint registered.

where to find download

Click the Grateful Dead bar at the top of the page to get back to the homepage. Click the 30 Days of Dead link to get to today's page. Scroll down the page to the track of the day. Click Listen to stream and click Download to download. It seems to be working fine now; it may have been acting up when you tried earlier, so please try it again. Thanks.

Dark Star download from 11-02-10

Hi there, I missed downloading that Dark Star and it isn't downloadable in Chrome. How can I get a download of yesterday's song? GrilfulDead

I have a similar question..

I tried several times yesterday and the "click here" never appeared...am I outa luck? it's cool, can't expect everything...thanx for your time!!!

Question in the same vein....

I missed out on the first three days, are the songs available somewhere else on the site or will there be a big page of downloads available at the end? Thank you for your time.

Download covers

I don't know if this question is in the right place but would it be possible to have back covers with track listings available for downloads also a track list of the show when you click on it before deciding to purchase would be a great help.

30 days of november

I logged on to download the free song today and don't see any lisiting for November 6th.Has anyone downloaded this song today?

yes

but it took me a couple of tries

China cat download

I can't get this to download. Goes to the desktop and itunes opens... no song. Anyone else having this issue?

Having problems with today's free download

Is anyone else having issues downloading China/Rider?

it was acting up earlier in the day

but it seems to be working okay now. Go get it! Report back if you're still having problems.

Where are the links to downloads?

Where are the links to downloads?Make it a sticky at the top of the page so others can find them too- Many are asking this same question.

I don't know

how much stickier you can get than a big honking link smack dab in the middle of the homepage... Now it is possible that something may not be working properly, but it's not like the page is invisible. I've noticed some issues this morning myself, and reported them.

30 Days Status Update

Hi folks--

We knew you were going to love 30 Days of Dead. We may have underestimated how much.

The original plan, as we said in the beginning, was that each day's stream and download would only be available for that day. Well, demand was so high that many folks had trouble connecting and downloading, so we've kept each day's files available short-term while we addressed the technical issues.

Once we've got those issues resolved and the downloads are going smoothly, we'll be removing the archive of previous days' files. We will give an advance warning before we do this. Meanwhile, here's a list of links to date so you can download what you may have missed. Thanks!

free concert in ATL GA 7-7-1973????

I had an uncle who was kind of a hippie, and he took me to a free concert in Piedmont Park in Atlanta GA in July of 1973, right before my 13th birthday. I never remembered the name of the band, but I was drawn to the Dead as a college kid and saw them 126 times before Jerry passed. Well, a couple months ago, one of the shows played on the xm radio noon concert was from 7-7-1973, Atl GA. This show is not listed on the website, but I could swear that this was the show my uncle took me to. The story the dj on xm said was that the free concert happened the day after a really hot Allman Bros show and had something to do with the promoter showing his appreciation to the city's music fans. Can someone out there verify that show happened, and if so, how can I get a copy? Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!

you could check the grateful dead music archives hang on ill get the link...... http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=1973%20AND%20collection%3AGrate… try this.

The Same Thing

Hi,I'm a very new user of this site. I would like to know when I could send a new topic? This new topic is about the Willie Dixon song "the same thing", I just want to know if I could hear this song in a live or studio Dead's album?Till now I have only listen it in a live recording at Winterland Arena ,Dec 31st,1971 and sung by Pig Pen: majestic!! Thanks for answers take care....and forgive my english

Store

Do i have to have a separate account for the store??? Logging onto the site is fine, but when I hit the "Checkout" button - the next screen doesn't accept my username/password info?... help please close your eyes and listen to the colors of your mind take a breath of fresh air & let your soul unwind

I would try buying what you need else where.. If you order here you will probably only get a partial order and be waiting for a response from the $$$ hungry people here.. I am still waiting to hear back about the missing CD from my order of Jerry's new album releases.. Ordered the bundle and only get one CD.. Now thats how a company can make $$$ only ship half the order.. Good luck to those who order from this sight..

Allis

please send me a PM with the details and I'll try to get it straightened out. built, as I understand it it's no longer necessary to have a separate account for the Store, but let me verify that. It's a holiday weekend, so I may not hear back on this till Monday. Thanks.
