Bit torrent question


Recommended Posts

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!

No, it's gone.

 

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

Waffles are delicious! With syrup, or jelly, I prefer syrup.

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.

 

I'm a fan of EAC (exact audio copy) - though it is not "simple" to use.

I think we are talking about legal BT sites.

DB PowerAmp is another one - although, EAC is the best.

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.

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.

If I recall correctly, the sort of BT sites you are talking about do not allow AUD shows. 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.

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.

Cool, thanks guys. I will have to check those out when I get home tonight.
