    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.

    Ok looks like 200 dpi works
    With my time not being my own all too often yesterday and most of today did not work out as planned, thankfully nothing "bad". Cool I see the pic at my account and the show page. I only submitted from the original window twice. The first failed on your side at 300 dpi and the 2nd at 200 dpi went through. I did not hit submit on the 2nd test window I had open after the first failure. Aye, don't know what all yet but do know 300 dpi is a no go and 600x400 is the max. I will post here again when I try another one, only submit one at a time and wait for confirmation of failure or success before submitting another one. I won't go crazy I'll just try testing with a few that I want to upload anyway. Time to head home and write my story for the show 20 years ago today. A whole bunch, as opposed to ½ a bunch :P, of firsts for me that nite.

    well, something you did worked...
    though based on the above I think we don't know what yet! Still, this is progress, thanks much, and I have turned your pic loose.

    M'kay, I went like I was
    M'kay, I went like I was going to upload something new from the start in a new tab and @ 200, just like the 1st @ 300, I did not see anything other than the scaled 150px × 88px above the browse field when I would click on preview. Then I tried 150, 100, 72 dpi and each time I did not see the image when I previewed. I left the first tab open after hitting submit just in case and used another tab to go to my account page and it still showed, "No photos uploaded yet for this member (yet)." So I went back to the tab I left open after submitting, clicked on edit, browsed to a 200 dpi version, same size of 600x350, uploaded, hit preview and I see it. I did not see it originally after hitting submit and thought that might be due due to waiting for it to be approved but apparently not. I tried to upload other versions and it kept reverting back to the 200 dpi each time I hit preview. I don't recall hitting submit again, a 2nd time (1st w/200 dpi) after the 300. Perhaps it took what it liked and for me to try and change it again I have to click on submit??? I tried to change it again and paying a little more attention I see it listing both files with delete checked next to the first one after clicking on preview. Unlike initially browsing for files once submit is hit the page has view and edit at the top and it appears it will not change the upload until submit it hit again. Maybe I did hit submit after initially hitting the upload button with the 200 dpi version. Doing too many thing can cause this confusion, lol. Well it is getting kinda late here and I'm not really where I should be at this time so I think I'll leave things where they're at for now as to not mess up the system too much, lol, and come back to this tomorrow. If I have to redo what I tried to upload today no biggie but I'm thinking where I left it is ok since resubmitting replaces the current image, we'll see tomorrow. I am game for trying it with a test file that can be nuked to determine what is the max dpi the system will accept as long as you are willing. Sometimes outside testing is better but I don't want to disturb or take up too much of your time Mary. I am guessing from your last comment you'd like to know too. It's got me a little curious at this point, a bit confused with trying too many things and it might be best to try from the start fresh(er) tomorrow.

    OK 300 dpi is no good and I still am not remembering anything from that one info page, lol. It could have been something "hidden" and outdated I found. I'll try again at 200 since I am into figuring & testing these kinds of things then we'll know.

    When I clicked on upload for
    When I clicked on upload for the pic @ 683x400 300dpi I got a message at the top, "The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed resolution of 600x400 pixels". So me being me I had to mess around a lil more, :) Now I know the max res for sure, most likely max file size (a 1.2 meg .jpg or .gif would be very high dpi but not so much for a .png file) and well dunno about max dpi as of yet. If the software does not choke then we know it will take 300 dpi. Perhaps that 1000(?) I saw on the elusive info page is for dpi not res???I finally hit submit a few minutes ago.

probably best to start with an email to drrhino at rhino.com and explain what you have in mind so he can send you to the right folks.

Almost every time I visit Dead.net I get into technical problems. Need to hire a techie maybe? <grin>
I can't order Dave's Picks 2020. The field that says "delivery option" is blank. No choices are listed. So it won't let me continue to the "billing" section. What's up?

I have been a huge fan of the Dead since I heard St Stephen for the first time in 1988 (getting stoned before a Mountain Bike trail ride). Well, I have been watching a bunch of YouTube videos on tool restorations for the past couple of years and have decided to hopefully start making some of my own. Knowing the Dead has been into the free sharing of their live performances, I figured their music would be a better fit than all the royalty-free music that everyone uses. (My account on there is even The Dead Rabbit) . But before I just go and start using their music I thought I would look into if they had a problem with use of that nature. This website seemed like the most logical place to start! Thank you for your time John M. Albert "Rabbit"

I’m not a lawyer, but sometimes I play one on the internet.
They own a copyright on all their music.
But, if it’s playing in the background while you repair a tool, and you don’t receive any revenue from the video, then they probably won’t harass you.
I suggest that you hang a steal your face in the background to promote the band, and maybe even indicate the artist and song that are playing in the background.
Maybe you’ll convert a few tool heads to dead heads.

I think I found the Lawyer for their licensing email and basically copy and pasted my post to them with a little rewording. Thanks for the input, however, I am betting converting these guys will be a challenge. Most of them are around the age of the big bang I mean big band swing music era! LOL ..and carving a SYF is a planned project if I ever get the time!

What is wrong with the distribution of Dave's Picks Vol. 32? Mine was supposed to be delivered nearly a month ago. Tracking shows it got to my city, then it went to several other locations and eventually ended up in Franklin, Indiana, where it was "delivered." I live in Ohio. Emails and a phone call have produced lots of apologies but no correction and everything has been silence for well over a week. The impression I'm given is this is a problem affecting many, but I see no word of it here. Any helpful information?

Sorry to bug you guys here but there are no other answers available within Dead.net ...

My handle is BrooklynJed and I won the US Blues clue on November 22. I would love to claim my calendar prize and savor the victory during the coming year.

Can you please advise how 30 Days winners can claim their calendars or refer me in the right direction?

Hello Marye
Hoping you can point me in the right direction on this. I live in Canada and received a shipping invoice related to DaP 31. I emailed Dr. Rhino 3 times in August but no answer. UPS told me it was resolved when I called them in September, but then I just received a collection notice. I've emailed UPS again and Dr. Rhino again, but anything you can do to help would be gratefully appreciated! Thank you!

Marye, I am not sure you can help but I really need someone who can communicate with Dr. Rhino. I ordered the Giants Stadium Digital Box set download before it was on sale. The email I initially received only had a link to download the 6/17/91 show. I have emailed and customer services more than 10 times over the last two months to try and resolve the issue. I have received two emails from Dr. Rhino which were supposed to address my problem but they only resent me the original link to the June 17, 1991 and nothing else. This has been going on more than 2 months now. It is becoming absurd. How can I get someone to understand my problem and to address it? Thank you.

Hello??? I'm not sure what else I can do to get attention on my order. I've emailed numerous times, only to get an auto reply and a ticket number. Received no response to date (order placed Nov 30th!), at all!
Incredibly lame. I feel ripped off and want a refund at this point.

I ordered the 50th Anniversary cd dvd box on Nov. 8. Today is January 24, and it has not arrived. Worse yet, it is shown on deadnets data as not having been shipped. I contacted PayPal and today, a day later, got a message from Deadnet saying the box is on the way. So far all turned out ok and there is nothing for you to do.

In Europe there was a couple of years ago a spectacular bankruptcy of a sister company, Spincd. Lots of customers lost many lots of money. People trusted delayed shipments would arrive because the staff was cool and knowledgeable, but they also behaved fraudulently., and then bankruptcy ended all hope, and all payments went to preferred creditors. Now comes the work for you, Mary.

I wonder why nothing happened with that cd dvd box for 55 days, but it got sent as soon as Paypal came on board. My emails to deadnet were ignored, no answer, so maybe status matters even in deadworld. What do you think? A second issue is why deadnet does not give info about delays. If there are agency or economic problems, it must be better to tell customers instead of being silent and covering everything up, which gives rise to anxiety and a focus on contacting the credit card companies before their individual time bars for helping expire. What do you think and can attitudes be changed?

Regarding yr message of Jan. 24, I cannot find a reply. The issue was non-delivery of an order 137400000224956 and particularly why it was not shipped for at least 60 days. The staff over at deadnet do not answer though I have got a new report from them about ten days ago that it has at that time been sent. My concern is some kind of problem which could result in future problems in ordering. Are you geting a run-around from the shipping dept. Why would shipping of a paid for order be delayed 60 days? Well one possibility is some kind of financial iliquidity.

for international shipments, why not take directly the customs fees, and allow us a shipment other than the standard one.

I still buy your CDs but I would love to have digital copies too. Why are there not packages where we can buy the CD box like the new 1976 box that includes the ability to download the digital files for an additional fee? The current pricing structure is almost as much again to get the digital files too.

is go to eBay and look for comparables, i.e. what the tie is going for from other sellers. Keep in mind that the asking price and what people are willing to pay are often very different.

OK so I appreciate that the world is kind of turned inside out right now but a small plea nonetheless - I can only assume that my copy of DP33 has got lost on its journey across the water - no sign of it here, there is just a FAINT chance of course that it might by RTS via the courier service but owing to the fact that I never even received an email advising of shipment I cannot check on this, I tried contacting you via the central email but simply got bounced back....please... is there ANY chance of my actually receiving my order, even if not before the (hopeful) arrival of DP34... sorry if this sounds like a rant, it isnt, and I totally appreciate the great stuff that you do but.....
