Grateful Dead Music Forum

I can't figure this shit out. I had speeding arrow all figured out and that went down. My problem is I want these shows on my itunes so i can have em on my ipod. I use downthemall to download and they show up in my itunes music folder. Problem is, I press play and itunes pops open but no music and no show to be found. I try to extract the files to click and drag to itunes but says there's nothin there. Help please.....

1. Get UTorrent at utorrent.com
2. Go to bt.etree.org and find a show u want and click on the .torrent.
3. Select open with UTorrent in the dialog box.
4. All items should be selected in the next box. click OK...or download??

After that depending on the format of the show you downloaded you will need to convert the format from FLAC or SHN to MP3, then add to itunes, and move to the ipod.

You might try reading the FAQ regarding Bit Torrent. You will need software like bit tornado or some other bittorrent client to become part of the torrent.

You have to understand that the torrent is file sharing. You are similtanously downloading different parts of a show from different sources. At the same time you are providing the segments of the show you have already downloaded to other torrent clients. You will be downloading and uploading at the same time.

The torrent is most likely going to be in a lossless format, either SHN or FLAC. You will need another program to decompress these files to WAV format which is your typical CD format..

If you want to listen to the WAV files on your IPOD you will need another program to convert these files to a compatible format for the IPOD....

Any recommendations for a program to decompress SHN and FLAC?

And any rec.'s for converting WAV so I can listen to these tunes on my ipod?

Not being lazy about it, I'm searching around but perhaps someone knows a good one or a particularly shitty one I should avoid.

Thanks for the help!

I like DBPoweramp music converter a lot. Lots of downloadable codecs to use with it. You should also get MP3Gain to normalize the tracks after you convert them to MP3.

I wrote this ages ago. It should still apply.
