Funny stuff. Thanks to those listees who turned me on to them and GLC. It appears GLC have finally landed in the US because I saw a live performance of them on Jimmy Kimmel live last week. Also, for anyone interested in this sort of thing, last Thursday I was a scab worker at a local music festival. We put together a whole soundstage with only a few inexperienced volunteers. http://www.livejournal.com/users/hydrallus/51213.html Pretty crazy stuff.

RE: RE: [Orb] OT: How to tell mp3 kbps?

There's a lossless AAC option in iTunes. Apple introduced it when they started selling Airport Express to prevent you from streaming crap bitrate MP3s/AACs to your stereo. JG

Speaking of lossless, I was wondering what peoples ideas are towards the various formats (flac, shd?, etc etc). Right now I rip most things into 192 mp3's so I can play them in most devices, but would like to get some nice archive quality copies as well (and hopefully the devices will catch up). -----Original Message----- From: bla blazo [mailto:m111j@hotmail.com] Shit, I misread your email. I thought you were trying to distinguish between lossy or lossless. You can drag the files into mkwACT and it will expand them into wav and tell you the bit rate the original file was.....but those other suggestions seem much easier. I wish there were more orb shows in a lossless format - I'm not a fan of mp3s at all. -matt >>How do you tell what kbps your mp3's are? For example, I get a few >>things from DC++. Is there a way to tell whether an mp3 file is >>192kbps or 160kbps?

Orb footage from Glasto '93
by Chris Wallace 19 Jul '05

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might have any footage of Orb @ Glastonbury 1993. I remember being 20m from the front, directly in front of the right hand speaker stack tripping my nut off and would be interested to see if it was actually as good as I remember. ;-)

"I guess you just gotta know the right people..." -Gavin Miller 2005-07-14 19:112005-07-14Â 23:11UTC i wish i knew the right people! on that - are there high quality orb gigs out there? been thru soulseek and back and have acquired a ton of good stuff from some very friendly listers but have to imagine there are real high quality live recordings that are much better than you average soulseek download. on that (and here is where i go off topic...) why don't more bands release live material? i don't necessarily mean in the form of a formal cd like live '93, but with the digital age and all why don't bands/labels post live gigs for purchase and download. heck i would actually buy something off itunes if there were gigs posted there! now i don't know a thing about the music industry (or making music for that matter..but i can crunch a mean spreadsheet!) but i would have to think there would be a market for this stuff. have heard phish did something like this - let fans dl gigs straight from ttheir site..but not sure if that is true...not a phish fan. also not a pearl jam fan but always loved the concept of their releasing a ton of their live shows to the masses. if the orb did that i'd be first in line to hand over my cash for each and every gig - particularly know some money would be going back to the band! one final question from the ignorant mass of one - is it illegal to dl concerts? has been an ongoing discussion between me and my mates - have always logically thought since the material was never officially realeased it is not a violation of copywirte laws. is this dilusional on my part? just some thoughts that have been running thru my head for the last 12 months. steve --- bla blazo <m111j@???> wrote: > I wish there were more orb shows in a lossless > format - I'm not a fan of > mp3s at all. --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
