caliber66 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have an urgent request for ysi/sendspace of some good/recognizable cover songs to be played at a public event this THURSDAY. I have some on my computer and elsewhere, but I would appreciate any links you can send my way (PM if you're uncomfortable posting them publicly, although this request doesn't violate VC rules as I read them). I would guess we need a couple hours' worth, preferably with no repeats. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Ok - I got these - which I will rip into Mp3 right now - if you want them: Return Of The Grievous Angel: Tribute To Gram ParsonsBadlands: A Tribute To Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I happen to already have that ready to go - so it is now sendspacing. I forgot I had it on my computer as it is a torrent somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 anyone know a quick way to convert itunes tunes to mp3--the converter I use for flacs must not have an m4a plugin? (or caliber, would m4a's be acceptable?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ben, I'll see if I can scrape some together tomorrow evening. I'd just send you some files I already have, except that they're .OGG and won't play on an iPod. I'll rip some MP3s from the original CDs tomorrow if I get a chance. No promises, though, 'cuz I'm crazy busy right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
