For sure you can find Nero for "free" on LimeWire or so. But if you really like the software package, it is not too expensive to buy it. Usually you get an OEM version when you buy a CD/DVD burner. Your retailer might even sell you the OEM version for a few bucks. And there are freeware alternatives as I mentioned above in one of the links. Sjouke

You are right, that the audible difference is minimal, but if you can directly burn FLAC, why bothering with converting. That was my point. But of course, if you want to listen on an MP3 player you still can convert (but at least at 192 kbs). Sjouke

First, on under GUIDE, you find very useful info on how to download Torrents. But what I don't understand is that people want to convert FLAC files into mp3. FLAC is supposed to be an audio format where the loss of quality is minimal. If you convert to mp3 you loose quite a lot info (FLAC file of 30 MB becomes 8 MB in mp3, depending on the bitrate. After that people going to make audio C

Just use Nero... To be able to play in a stand-alone player you have to create also an AUDIO_TS folder (which remains empty). Sjouke

To Sway65, Go to the link I mentioned, click on Nero plugin and follow the instructions. You just have to add a dll file in Program Files/Common Files/Ahead... When you then open Nero, you are able to burn FLAC files directly, so no conversion to mp3 first (which can be done as well with dBAudioAmp, a freeware program which is availble through the net). But then you compress your file and l

Yes, just leave your PC open and running, so the downloads will be faster for the others.

To Drake: thank you so much, probably tomorrow I can burn it and listen at work. To Captain: you need an additional program, for example Azureus for the download. The files are in FLAC format, for which you can find a plugin for Nero at Scroll to Extra, CD Burning and install the dll plugin file as indicated. Sjouke

Actually both on WinMX and LimeWire you find more single songs instead of comlete albums/concerts. I also prefer Torrents for DVD's and complete shows. So, I can recommend users just to register at Dimeadozen or one of the other torrent sites. I use for the download Azureus. How is the experience with other client programs? Sjouke

Thanks for posting so much nonsense here lately. The Tell Me forum was once the trustworth source for Stones information. Nowadays it is so boring, the tone is so aggressive and people can't even post a correct set list anymore. Sad, but true... I hope BV is taking action soon, because the information is still appreciated. Sjouke

TeleK, There is software to recover deleted files. Just look around in Google. Especially, if you haven't done to many things with your computer, you have a fair chance to recover most of your files. Btw, how do I play FLAC files in Windows Media Player? Sjouke

You go to one of the torrent download sites (usually you have to register) i.e. www.dimeadozen.org and select your file of interest. In addition you need a program to download finally the file. I use Azureon, but there are many possibilties here (www.bittorent.com). Yesterday I downloaded this way the BBC interview with snippets from Fenway. Sjouke

Bjornulf, I totalla agree with you on this matter. This is a Stones Forum, not a political forum. But if people post pertinent lies about certain political situations I can't resist to react like I have done on one of the post concerning Neocon. But still, it makes me sick when people can post certain lies, and one is not able to defend or react to it. Sjouke

CreedenceLives, you seem to mix up facts and fantasies..... a disease that many anti-Israel people suffer from. Fact: due to exessive violence in Russia, Ukraine, Poland etc. towards Jews in the late 19th. century and early 20th. century many Jews fled. Many of them went to the US, many went to a country, in that time under British government, called Palestine. In fact, there were always Jews
