grateful dead dick's picks

All

this is a terrific thread, and i did everything as suggested and got a show downloaded to a CDR (file type WAV).

one little problem: what formats are best supported by universal players? (ideally, lets stick to the high quality file types). the WAV won't play in my universal muse.

any thoughts? or is this thread targeting only PC use?

Rhyno,
What program did you use to burn the WAVs? If you used something like feurio (or any software used for burning audio cdrs) you should be able to play the disc in virtually any player that plays redbook cd. Some players are finicky when it comes to cdrs, but not many.

What speed did you burn the disc at?

i used the db Power amp as recommended above, went from FLAC to WAV to CDR, using slowest burn speeds possible.

i'll try the disc in a few other players to see what happens. i know the player I tried it in, a muse polyhymnia (review coming in dagogo by yours truly), didn't jive

thanks again,
rc

Cheers Rlwainwright - wasn't nearly as straight forward as you made it sound but well worth the effort.
I have only downloaded 3 concerts and the quality amazes me.
Looking forward to downloading many more.
Bluegrass Gospel Project , The Old Meeting House, Vermont 10/11/2006 is fabulous and a Dead concert at Adams Field House 1974 is rather nice.
Thanks again.

Is there anyplace that reviews/comments on the sound quality of the various shows? It seem to me that it would vary wildly.

Also, is there a list of those that are soundboard feeds. Am I correct in assuming those would be better than the ones from mics?
