Not everyone owns a > Mac or Apple products, unfortunately :) > > Cheers, > Xav Right :) For converting Apple Lossless and many other formats on my Windows 7 PC (yeah I know, MS sucks and stuff...), I use foobar2000. It's Open Source and there are loads of components availabe - e.g. decoder for ALAC or MonkeyAudio. So I'm also happy with any lossless audio format as I can convert anything to FLAC myself. http://www.foobar2000.org/ (The default user interface looks crappy, but there are many possibilities to customize it as well).

I've upped KLF003R, KLF008Y, KLF010R in good old FLAC format. Would appreciate if someone could do KLF004Y in similar lossless format.

the KLF and archive.org

people of mu maybe true arKive should be built thru the fab website archive.org where we could put all their stuff that ain't copyrighted by arista/sony in FLAC format for free and forever instead getting it on all those upload services. http://www.archive.org/details/audio i spoke with guys from Positive Void. they said YES but not the copyrighted by BIG COMPANIES as they will take it down... regarding recordings from vinyl, best option for transfer are turntables with USB direct to computer without mixer, EQs, preamps etc - A Stalker http://www.facebook.com/adam.strange23

A note on my rips
by Dan Hutchins 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hi all, After some really great advice, I will be making all my rips available someplace known to those who have been paying attention. I will make all my vinyl rips available in two versions, as unaltered Wavs and as Dan or Dmasters if you will in WAV and maybe Apple Lossless depending on feedback. CD rips of things I make will always be unaltered. When making my rips, I first carefully Zerostat and clean my records, I then play them once to workout any latent dirt and debris, then Zerostat, clean, and rip them upon the second play. The Dmasters are recorded around -6 db them amplified according to Audacity analysis, then lightly (but never heavily) compressed for a more modern CD/iPod sound. I then delete excess silence between, before, and after tracks. As I make the original rips available as well all are welcome to make their own remasters, I make the Dmasters mainly for my own enjoyment. I have an excellent quality 16 bit/44.100 khz preamp, but would LOVE a 24 bit/96,000 khz preamp for archival purposes to share for posterity and mastering by better hands than my own. So far, the least expensive USB one available in the US I may find (I use a laptop so peripheral cards aren't an option) is the Furutech http://www.lpgear.com/product/FURUTECHGT40.html for $480. Unless i experience a change in fortunes this won't happen for sometime. If someone, anyone, can recommend a decent quality 24/96,000 USB phono preamp for less than this that is available in the US then PLEASE forward the details to me as i can probably get away with $250. Busily ripping, remastering, and uploading as we speak! Be on the look-out for some new things. Dan

Requests?

Preparing sharing day 3 and I had a few things in mind: 1. It's Grim Up North first edition grey vinyl with Pete Wylie vocals (limited to 350 copies I think) 2. January: What Time Is Love (limited to 150 I think). 3. 3 AM Eternal TOTP version w/ Extreme Noise Terror (limited to 500 I think, or it could be 2,000, don't remember) 4. Who Killed The JAMs KLF LP 2. Not the PVC release, but a far superior rip from pristine vinyl. I am also working on 1987 and have a rip of the original LP, but also wish to rip the 1998 vinyl bootleg which I also have. Rumor has it that Bill, Jimmy, or someone close to them pressed and released these 1998 bootlegs so it's possible the bootleg may be of superior quality and I need to compare the two. Everything I mentioned WILL be released in the coming days, but so many people mentioned the Madrugda club mix that I put it out today instead of JAMs LP 2 which was my intention. As a side note, while I've been collecting for many years and have many rarities to share, I don't have any of the following: 1. Anything from the Black Room. At least two tracks (and maybe more) were completed according to Stent and I'm trying to lay my hands on these but it's a longshot at best. 2. Turn Up The Strobe. Originally supposed to be Pure Trance 4. Reports I've read years ago state that it was never completed or scrapped. Heard from a reliable source awhile back that it may indeed exist. Lastly, it was a track listed to be recorded/rerecorded for the Black Room. 3. Etrain to Trancentral. Some say this exists, some say it was never completed or just plain radically reworked before completion. Still others have claimed to have seen pressed 12"s...who knows? 4. The Sheriff of Mu Mu County. This definitly exists in finished form as I have heard clips of it on at least two different documentaries. One person supposedly in the know told me 12 years ago that this was to feature on a pressed but unrealeased "Land of Mu" EP. This same person also told me that three different versions of the Black Room were recorded and one was actually pressed and ready to go but pulled at the last minute in a similar fashion to Prince's "Black Album." One of these versions contained a track that segued into the "Peter Gunn" theme. However, I feel this source is highly suspect. I'll put out everything in lossless, just let me know your prefs in terms of order. Dan

Not sure if anyone's seen this. A little tenuous, but quite entertaining and good to see this track featuring in a modern mix.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr6Nc7kk2jI <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr6Nc7kk2jI&feature=fvst> &feature=fvst

However everything is now going to The Liberation Loophole. All public shares have been deleted. I will no longer announce what I'm adding, but will be adding things all weekend (and it's a long one here in the US). Keep browsing the Loophole for new things all in lossless WAV. As always, feel free to ask me questions off list via my personal email. Dan
