ok, so i've been a wilco fan for a while now [probably about 7-8 years], but all i've really heard are the official releases [studio stuff, kicking television, etc.]. i'd really like to get some quality shows, but i have NO idea about where to start. i love the current lineup, but i'm open to anything. any suggestions about where to begin?

Welcome to the board.

 

There are many more folks here who can help you much more than I, however there is one member who hosts a few live shows, comp. singles, demos etc that I know of.

 

Go Here: "the Owl and Bear".

and to maybe pre-empt your next question.....

 

 

To get the .flac files into a playable/burnable format you have to convert them.

 

For disc and/or future trading 'probably' .wav is best (though saving the original .flac for trading is best)

 

for personal/mp3 player use.....mp3 (we dont trade mp3's, only the originals;)

 

 

to convert with a mac try Xact:

for p.c. I like db poweramp:

of course to play the .flac files (and pretty much ANYTHING else) on your computer you cant go wrong with the vlc media player:

so there you go, either helpful, or more confusing, you decide
