grateful dead dick's picks

ok, figured out that i burned a PC disc and not an audio disc. 20 min later, i'm listening to 5-4-72 paris on my main rig.

holy sh*t! this is the greatest thing a deadhead could hope for!

next question: i gather that my cheap burner built into my laptop is not optimal and will lead to increased write errors (found a few already...how uncool) and jitter that will compromise staging / sonics.

any recs on an outbound burner thats suited for burning shows?

btw, this is the greatest thread of all. its free music. rlwainwright, thanks for the info!

this is a terrific thread, and i did everything as suggested and got a show downloaded to a CDR (file type WAV).

one little problem: what formats are best supported by universal players? (ideally, lets stick to the high quality file types). the WAV won't play in my universal muse.

any thoughts? or is this thread targeting only PC use?

i used the db Power amp as recommended above, went from FLAC to WAV to CDR, using slowest burn speeds possible.

i'll try the disc in a few other players to see what happens. i know the player I tried it in, a muse polyhymnia (review coming in dagogo by yours truly), didn't jive

thanks again,

ok, i'm getting closer:

i've confirmed that the disc i burned works on my PC, but in every player i try it with, it may read, but the Table of Contents only finds 1 track (though i burned the disc w/ a WAV for each track), and there's no audio out.

any advice or tricks would be welcome.
