Bart1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Did there used to be a Wilco bit torrent site? Does it still exist? Back before my great computer crash of 2008, I seem to remember having a link to a Wilco BT site, but I've lost all my favorites and can't find the site using Google. So, am I just imagining things or is there a Wilco BT site out there? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can find links to Wilco shows on various BT sites in this section: Via Chicago > Greatest Lost Track of All Time > In a Future Age Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bart1 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks for the info! I've been looking on Dime for new stuff and haven't found any. Good to know I was losing my mind. Thanks again!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It's mainly there or bt.etree.org these days. Sometimes a new show pops up at The Trader's Den - but mostly it's the other two places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bart1 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks again. I forgot about Traders Den too. Let this be a lesson to all of you......save your Favorites! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird jam Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Semi-related, does anyone have a free FLAC->.mp3 converter they recommend so I can put shows on my Zune? I have FLAC Front-End but it converts to .wav and the Zune doesn't recognize that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I haven't had any problems with Trader's Little Helper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a fan of EAC (exact audio copy) - though it is not "simple" to use. DB PowerAmp is another one - although, EAC is the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
euthe Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think we are talking about legal BT sites. Okay, that's a legitimate point. However, some people use those sites strictly on an archival basis (lost, stolen, broken cd) - people do still have integrity . That being said I think the best live recording site is owl and bear and of course the Jhamm collections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have FLAC Front-End but it converts to .wav and the Zune doesn't recognize that. I use Foobar 2000 to convert FLAC to WAV, but it has a lot of features that I don't use and I wouldn't be surprised if it could convert FLAC to mp3. In fact I'd be surprised if it didn't! Also, it's free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't think it's a good idea to send someone to such a place. I figure if they learn how to do BT, and stick with it, then they will learn about such places and then they can decide what to do from there. Also - (as I am sure you know) if someone is brand new to BT and turned loose on one of those places, they are not going to last long anyhow. And as you say, we have at least two places to find shows (audio and video) these days in addition to the various legal BT sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okp greg Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You're correct, they don't allow AUD recordings. They would also most likely be banned rather quickly without knowing how to keep their ratio up. If I recall correctly, the sort of BT sites you are talking about do not allow AUD shows.
