I'd like to get in on this

I've been a Dead fan for years. Unfortunately I don't have any trading material to add to the vine. All of my non-commercial recordings are 20+ yr old 3rd + generation boom box copies. I've been looking for this set for years. Ever since I read Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and saw the set of tapes listed in a book on the Dead. 53. Psychedelicman 54. Trombone 55. Packratt

Acid Test vine - trying again

Hi there Hal, Pman, et al- I previously signed up as newbie under the handle tester75, but was never able to get back into the site after the first time. When I tried to login, it told me that that user name was either blocked or didn't exist, but if I tried to sign up again using the same email it told me that there was already an account with that email. So I was lost in some sort of terrible winternet dimension with no access to dead.net. Tech support was overseas somewhere and absolutely useless. Anyway, here goes, trying this again- 53.

Using a DVD, what I did

I don't have a DVD burner right now so I copied the whole thing as a big folder to my external hard drive. I found that Winamp plays FLAC files straight up and with a little add-in called shntool it plays .shn's. Its burner will convert and burn CDs from flac but not shn.

Psychedelicman

well it`s a DVD with shn/flac files on it . to play it on your computer you will need a program called Foobar2000 , that will play shn/flac files . If you want to made CD`s you will need a program called Traders Little Helper , that will convert the flac files to standard audio files that you will be able to burn to CD . Check out to New vines 09 thread you will find links to both programs or you can just Google them . If you need more help let me know and I`ll do my best to help you out . *** Clean***Sober***Proud***

I read that earlier on in this vine someone sent a copy of the data disc to Andre in Germany and sent the whole package onto whoever was next in the list. Either way if it could be sent to me that would be awesome. Cheers

hey thanks i got the disc in

hey thanks i got the disc in the mail. BUT there was only one disc. In the vine description it says there were 4 discs. I only received one. Is this correct?

I think so..

I only got 1 disc, it's the shn files on dvd, guess the wav files didn't get reseeded. I can't decode the shn files right now, so I'm just hoping it's all there and all good.

62. Island Girl >IN 8/13>OUT 8/1763. 10mileride> IN 8/26 64. Kidsmoke Pending that it is all there, 10mileride? Will PM upon confirmation. Cheers

hey kidsmoke...yes it is in

hey kidsmoke...yes it is in fact all here. I just saw the one disc and thought the rest were missing in the mail perhaps. After inserting the disc into my drive everything is in fact coded onto the disc : ) I will send the disc your way as soon as i finish the transfer to my machine. just pm me with your address
