If you love the Dead and have a desire to stuff a hardrive full of IPOD ready shows sbd and aud from EVERY YEAR(he is adding shows everyday!!!)...check out this link:
HOLY CRAP!!!
i need to get an external harddrive
This is great! I lost my ENTIRE collection of dead shows (75+/-, including at least one from every year they played) when my car was broken into almost 2 years ago. I\'ll be able to rebuild my collection (on up to date technology) entirely. Thanks for the link Walsh.
wowsers! thanks for the link broseph.
I hate this board more than anything. I\'ll just check tourdates from the .net. Peace. I\'ll see you guys at Richter\'s.
Aniiiice!!! Thanks for the :link:
You can stream these shows from archive and while it\'s streaming winamp writes it to your hard drive, i think the plug in comes with winamp, i don\'t remember if i had to download it or not...
this looks tasty. i\'d like a little more info on the winamp plugin for streaming/download off archive. i am quite lazy to find it out for myself and since I visit here everyday I figure its easier for someone else to do the legwork for me. thanks in advance.
ya sorry for being so vague..let me see if i can find some more info. links, screenshots ect...
and oh ya this works for any streamable show on archive...
screen shots won\'t be neccessary.
ROFL
:p, i was being a smart ass...
These files on the zephyr link are cleaned up and tagged...all of them. Alot of the
**** on Archive isn\'t tagged or labeled correctly. That is why these are IPOD ready, the guy took the time to go through and label everything for you. Trust me this is a much better way if you want these for your mp3 player or for an external HD. He also has a setlist file with what source on that site so you can go through and pick what you want. Also it is much easier to find which show/month/year of Dead you want, F*** the new way of searching on Archive.
Ya that\'s cool, but I guess you can still use the winamp plug-in for the shows he doesn\'t have...like the whole \'77 NY run...which is just 1337 IMO..or if there is some other bands with SBD recordings that is only streamable...
so if some of you are still interested
At the top
>Options>Preferences
On the left nav bar you\'ll see Plug-ins
>highlight Output
a list of plug-ins will appear on the right and your looking for \'Nullsoft Disk Writer\'
>highlight, then hit configure on the bottom
a window appears, on the upper left of the window you will see Directory
>hit the box next to Directory:, to choose where you want the show to be writen to..
>then hit OK on the bottom.
So when you go stream the show on archive, make sure winamp is your default player...
what will happen is, winamp is going to be writing the show to your HD as archive streams it to your computer instead of playing it, you wont hear the show on your speakers it will just be writing to your HD...let me know if you ahve any questions...
Keep watching that site, he is updating as he goes, and doesn\'t have to rotate shows anymore. The entire Archive collection will be there over time, all ready to go.
