Grateful Dead

Hi, First off i'd like to say i've been enjoying the music - both mp3's and streaming with the resident player - though the mp3's were much more reliable. Thanks folks. That said, this week's selections seem to have some technical problems: 1. when i click on the Sugaree-Minglewood Blues link, even though the title is correct on the player, it plays Music Never Stopped. 2. the link for Scarlet Begonias brings up the player with a "?" and no sound. i'm sure these problems can be easily corrected. Thanks again, and Leave It On! "Music is Love"

the Scarlet works for me, Delta. I've reported Sugaree/Never Stopped mix up.

Scarlet works for me today, and the Sugaree>Minglewood is playing (and sounding great) instead of Music Never Stopped, as it should. Thanks for passing the word, and thanks to the fixit person! "Music is Love"

I'm not sure if this has been noted previously but the 9/21/68 studio Jam from the week of Sep 17-23 has no link. The Clementine Jam has a link (and it's great!) so I'd love to hear the Jam as well. Sorry if I've misunderstood and it's a Clementine Jam/Jam rather than two separate tracks but the wording suggests it is indeed two different jams. Thanks!

Hi,I was able to get everything this week to work, with some effort. (Clicking "play" 4,5,6 times or closing my browser and reopening it, again several times.) However, I can't get the Beat It On Down the Line, The Eleven..., nor 1966 Not Fade Away, all from the 2.05.07 Taper's Section to play. The "Clip Player" opens but will not play. Doesn't matter whether I try Windows Media (my preference) or QuickTime. Thanks!

I have Windows Vista. Quicktime streams don't work in IE 7 or Firefox 2. Yes, I have latest QT plugins installed.

I'm using Vista on my new machine with whatever the lastest version of Firefox is, and using the Windows Media Player option for the streams. It seems to work for me... have you tried the non-QuickTime player? I've never been a QuickTime user, so can't offer any words on why that isn't running.

i must be landing in spamland again. my posts are not showing up nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

I am having problems downloading the songs from the tapers section ever since the streaming format was changed. I used to have no problem downloading and saving to my computer. Am I doing something wrong or are we just not able to download the selections anymore? Any help will be appreciated.

Never mind my previous post. I finally was able to find all the posts on this topic and found out about the switch that was made a few months ago. Maybe they ought to change the name from THe Tapers SEction to Dead STreams. Anyway, it was fun while it lasted. Thanks

The Quicktime feed seems broken for me. Everything else seems to be working fine....

I can't get the Mississippi Half Step>etc. link to play using Windows Media in the Nov. 19-25 07 Taper's Section. The other clips this week work just fine thank you. I"ve noticed in the comments section that a couple of other folks have had the same or similar problems, but I don't seem to be able to find their posts. On Thursday I'll be giving thanks for all y'all working so hard on this site. I'm Grateful every day!

Haven't been able to successfully stream this in quicktime format. Still a drop/stop/failure or whatever at around 15minutes...

depending on which 'puter I use, I see my old avatar (pool dogs) or my new avatar (sunset over the harley) OR, on the forum I see the old one, but in the profile I see the new one. weird. peace.

CCj - I'm seeing the Harley. Maybe it just takes a little while to settle in? Did you use your screen refresh?

yeah, the screen is refreshed... and even logged off and on, turned off and on. on the Mac the harley is back. on the crap HP ruined by the tea, the harley I can't see. no big deal really. just one of those weird glitches it be. peace.

I thought green tea was supposed to be good for EVERYTHING? "I tell you Max, I don't know why I ever leave this place. I've got all the company I need right here." - The Grinch

I was, of course, thinking of you, GRTUD, when I mentioned that again.fucking funny line, that was, 'a weekday? what day is...' peace.

When I save downloads from the tapers section to my computer they are mov files how can i convert them to wav files without buying software or am I stuck?????

I've been having some trouble streaming some of the old TS/GDH stuff from before the switchover. Is there any way to fix this?

On the Feb. 5th 2007 week of the TS, I can play the Tastebud and the Mindbender but the BIODTL and the jam that starts with The Eleven won't play - the player window opens but the tracks won't play. And the GDH # 795 does the same. There are a few others scattered about - usually a few in each of the earlier TSs and random other GDHs - but those are the ones I just checked from memory (I'm at work now, can't check everything). The weird thing is that there doesn't seem to be a clear cutoff point. And I don't remember having a problem before the new streaming player. Thanks for looking into this, Marye!

I haven't had this problem before and wondered if it was a known issue or isolated to me. When trying to stream from the 1/20-1/27 edition (specifically the 6/9/76 St Stephen-Eyes-Let it Grow) there a numerous gaps, some for an instant others for much longer. They don't appear to be in a pattern, i.e. real gaps in the tape. I think it is a techinical issue. Any advice? I used past Tapers Sections in a streaming format many times with no issue. Thanks. What music I can hear is great.

I was attempting to listen to GD hour 424 the music started then began to skip like an old scrached lp would do ,, then my putter crashed and shut down.... this has happened in the past but first time with 424 and first time that happened in like a month,, I don`t remember what other ones that happened at, but it has been a while,,.. Oh and still no tapers section for me ,,..??

Hi I've posted this a few times in the specific Tapers Section forums but I haven't had any suggestions. Every clip in every Tapers Section since Jan 28-Feb 3 plays in mono for me. I don't believe this is a streaming problem per se because all the clips from before this week play in stereo and all GDH streams play in stereo. For a while assumed that it was intentional and just a result of trying to reduce the size of the streaming files but I've come to doubt this. In this week's Tapers Section another user pointed out that all the streams are in mono, however, another user said that the streams are stereo. Evidently there is some setting/file/programme that I don't have, need to get rid of or need to change that others do have, have removed or have changed. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's a real shame if there isn't something I can do because the mono reduction really wrecks a lot of the clips and I'm starting to give up trying to listen to any because the mono, combined with an already not-very-high quality track means some of the streams are almost unlistenable. Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks for looking into it. I should have brought it up earlier but, as I said, I assumed it was intentional. Perhaps it is...? It could be something to do with the clip player upgrade that happened a while ago.

I get the stream in mono also. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.4.11, using Firefox 2.0.0.14. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this music really needs stereo, many of the recordings have phase issues that mess with the mono sound somethin' terrible.

Hi Marye I have this same problem on different computers, with different connections BUT my main computer/connection is ADSL 512kb/s. I get mono in either browser (IE 7 or Firefox). I definitely do NOT have any problems with the pre January 28 streams, nor with the GDHour streams. Thanks again for persisting with this.

Hi Marye, I also have ADSL 512kb/s, and have the same lack of problems with the pre 1/28 streams. Thanks for helping.
