    re: MP3 files in archive.org
    Regarding the MP3's and importing - I learned to avoid the MP3 and WMA formats when downloading, as I kept getting a "tin-can" sound to them. They are lossy compression formats. If you have the higher-quality files in lossless WAV, SHN, Flac, etc., it doesn't seem as bad to convert to MP3, especially MP3Pro (from Nero). I now either download only in the lssless format, or capture the files in WAV format via streaming audio. It's not as convenient, but makes a huge difference. You can download Taper's Little Helper for free and it will convert (decode) most of the lossless formats for you. Just search Google for it.

    mp3 files in archive.org
    When I download audience tapes from archive.org they are mp3s. I then import these to itunes and burn discs. Should I be importing them as mp3 since that is the format they already are in or should I convert to WAV? All vines and soundboards I usually get I always convert to WAV but they are not MP3. Any thoughts on this? I want the best quality possible. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    FT: Complete taping rig in exchange for a split window bus
    I have the following equipment that I'd consider trading for the "right" split window bus: 1 Sound Devices 744T Portable, Four-Track Audio Recorder - less than 1 yr old 1 matched pair of schoeps CCM4 cardiod microphones (purchased in 2000) 1 Schoeps M100C Miniature Stereo Mounting Bar for XY and ORTF recording 1 pair Schoeps A20 Elastic suspension mounts 1 AETA PSP3 Portable stereo pre-amp 1 Bogen Mic Stand 1 Pelican hardshell carrying case tons of cables, adapters, etc... and possibly a tascam mkII dat unit I'm not too picky about the 'type' of bus except that it must be a split window ('67 or earlier). I'd take a camper if the interior is (mostly) there, a double cab "truck" (not a huge fan of the single cabs), 11,13, 15, 21, 23 windows bus, panel bus/van, ... As for what the "right" bus is.... I'm not looking for something that has been restored. My "ideal" bus would be one that has minor rust issues, original paint, original seats/interior, original motor/trans (but they don't need to be running), never been "wrecked" (minor dents are ok), solid frame, etc. This could be a great opportunity for someone to get a 6k-9k rig for "free" if they convince their parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles to give up that old bus that has been sitting in their garage/barn for the last 30+ years... your idea of a piece of shit may be my dream bus.... send me the details/photos and we'll talk. I'm not in any rush - in the meantime I'll see ya FOB!

    Tribute to my Sister's Death after Grateful Dead Concert
    Hello, I do not want to ruin everything, but I had a sister than went to this concert when I was 6 years old and a drunk driver killed her after this show. This was the last time any of my family would see her. I was hoping you or someone else had a copy of Grateful Dead Live at Deer Creek Music Center on 1990-07-18 in good quality or anything from that show would mean a lot to me. Email me back at indyrdc@yahoo.com Thanks

    Picked up Cog per PM from Andre (Thanks!) works like a champ! Skin looks similar to iTunes but you dont have to convert into Wav files to listen to your shn or flac show... Eric

Hey gang,Does anyone know of an easy to use program that can tag cover art to MP3 files? (for ex: some nice artwork was created for the "30 Days of the Dead" MP3's. How do I tag the artwork to the files?) Thanks! Peace, Chris

Hey folks, I have been looking to buy a new microphone or two to record live shows as well as my band rehearsals. I've look at the Rode NT 4 as a stereo mic and think it looks like a pretty decent mic. Just wondering what people are recording with, Mics, recorders, video recorders, etc.? Thanks Zel

Have you tried osmosis?

-edit- It's where you set the tape ON the computer. Then, turn on the computer and look it up on youtube.

By the way, what tapes are they? ;-)

What type digital files are you interested in, what resolution (word length and sample rate) are you looking to have files made ? I could make most formats for you, from MP3 to 24 bit/ 192 KHz or if you have an outboard DAC I can create up to 2x DSD which is 1 bit/5.6 MHz .
