Listening to every show...

[ThememanXX]

yeah, and converted to 128kbps mp3's for archiving purposes. if I were to do a search for 'too much 2006' i come up with 26 songs

sad, rea;;y

[ThememanXX]

speaking of archiving, does anyone have the 2001 Rock in Rio show available to seed on dt.org? I lost it and need it before I get into 2001. thanks in advance, I have it in the requests section.

Not sad, it's pretty cool that you did that actually.

[ThememanXX]

it's the only thing i've been really ocd about since 2004. I download one copy of every show, convert to 128, and pop it on a hard drive, after labeling it in itunes. for example, i'll put artist as 'Dave Matthews Band', the song title, track number, and for the album, it's:

2000 - 12/11 - FleetCenter - Boston, MA

and so on, per the Almanac.

That must be awesome that you can just go into itunes and find any version of a song at your fingertip. I have to go to my external, find the show, and look at the text file to see which track is the song I want The only DMB things I put in itunes are the studio albums and all the official live releases.

[ThememanXX]

yeah, I label them instantly after converting, this way I'm done with it and I can search, without a problem. like when they announce what songs are on the new WH5/8, I already have a playlist set up right after I read about it

it also comes in handy for this little project. it's kind of cool to revisit these shows, especially considering 12/8/00 was my first show. I can still picture my view from that one, all the way in the back of the arena. little did i know.....

I commend you on your hard work

I'm on 2001. Ahhh, the Neil Young Watchtower! Ahhhh! Make it stop!

[batleon]

This is the point where this little experiment gets put to the test.

2nd is nothing. Hit us back when you get into the 30s.

Wait, so you download the lossless version of each show and then convert everything to 128kbps to back it up?

Do you still save all the FLACs?

[ThememanXX]

Okay, I'm on the Woodlands shows in 2001 and Angel has yet to go over 5 minutes. I'm still sane, for now. Also, the OSW outro is really nice in 2001, Dave really gets into it.

I download the FLACs from DT.org, etc....then convert to WAV. I then use iTunes to convert to 128kbps MP3's. Then, I delete the lossless files.

5/14/01 is a very underrated show. That Big Eyed Fish bustout is so incredibly clutch.

That seems like a waste.. your not even backing up the lossless files? 128kbps MP3's aren't what I would be archiving music in, but that's just me.

It's just for quick listening in the car or ipod....I'm not going for quality....just quantity.

and it's not like I'm sharing them with anyone, degrading the quality.

for as much shit as Santana gets from this fanbase....he really rips apart Watchtower on 5/18/01.

Watchtowers with Santana are awesome! I love his work on the LT2 version.
