    I'm glad you found it useful Stuman, especially now LTA pilot has pointed you to the shn player. Winamp will also play flac and there is a shn add on you can get, but I find winamp quite unstable and fussy and could not figure out how to do gapless playback on it. If you get to know foobar and its many add ons you can do all sorts of stuff such as ensure gapless playback, tag files, convert formats and rip CDs to flacs etc etc.

    Storage of FLAC and SHN
    I store both FLAC annd SHN on an external hard drive (WD 500 > looks like a book). To create audio cd's I copy files back over to the C drive. For FLAC, I use the FLAC Frontend software to decompress to .wav. For SHN (shorten) files, I use the MKW compression tool 0.97. I never do any .mp3 to .wav conversions. www.eTree.org has the SHN converter.

    Foobar must be like winamp - I can only play flac on that player, not shn. Supposedly there is a plug-in for the winamp player that allows you to play shn too, but I have had issues getting shn files to play. "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space.

Did you know that some of the music we've been listening to for a loooong time and love dearly is in need of pitch correction? "Layla", "Europe '72" and "Kind of Blue". (Actually, "Kind of Blue" was pitch corrected in the early '90's. They had to use a back-up machine to record the first few numbers and it was running hot so they finally fixed them). But wouldn't it be cool if Sr. Miller were to work for the Dead in an official capacity? " Where does the time go? "

Is there interest in a best of JGB 76 vine? I'd do it in parts, probably 2 (have gone through half the shows and have enough for a part 1 so far). It would be SHN/FLAC and WAV, with me converting and burning 1 show and each of the first 3 people to sign up converting and burning a show each. I hope there is interest as there are some pretty hot shows.

all you folks out there with some large collections, do you think we could see some 1981? There really isn't much still circulating here in the yard, and I just came across a couple high-energy shows from the spring '81 tour. ( I would like to get them out there in the yard, but need to check the Vinedex.)Just a thought if anyone out there has some, I'm for sure one interested person, either for vine or trade.....

Well, since you asked, here are the early 81 shows, and sources, that I would LOVE to see vined: If you can pick only 8: 3/9 Miller SBD 3/10 rolfe.miller.95276 and the set2 SBD 3/20 vernon,9198 3/21 sbd.clugston.6666 3/23 weiskircher.32145 3/24 weiskircher-vernon.10308 5/1 sbd.hinko.29087 5/5 mow.ford.28356 If you can do 8 more: 3/5 either the Wise or GEMS AUD and the set2 SBD 3/6 either the Wise or GEMS AUD and the set2 SBD 3/12 rolfe.miller.95259 3/13 wagner.miller.90455 3/14 rolfe.miller.95288 5/2 sbd.miller.30152 5/4 milner.ford.90454 5/17 either the Munder or mow.ford AUD These are all shows that I do not have. I selected the sources after taking a quick listen to various sources on archive. 81 isn't the best year for SBDs (I thought some of the AUDs definitely sounded better) but I went with the Miller SBD when available. Thanks guys if you have these shows and vine them, even if they aren't my preferred source (it was cursory research so I could be wrong, here and there at least) :)

From your list I have: 3/9 sbd.miller 3/13 all.aud.rolfe and a sbd for set 2 3/20 GEMS.sbd 5/1 sbd.miller And Maustin - I have started a few 81 vines (like 3 maybe?) in the past. Do you know if they are stalled or not? I guess I can do some searching and check on their status. I also have a bunch of stuff from the fall.

Sounds good, jsfc. The 5/1 Miller is a remaster of the SBD I listed (I linked through deadlists, which doesn't list the Miller source for that show, rather than search on archive, that's why I missed that one). I thought the Vernon AUD sounded better for 3/20 but the SBD is fine too. I have 17 SHN/FLAC '81 shows, plus a few more from Oct that I haven't gotten to yet (probably from jsfc). Considering that I still have in my queue to listen to those fall 81 shows, 20 shows just acquired from unclejon (mostly 83 and 85), 15 more JGB 76 shows, all the 81 JGB on jsfc's vine, about 10 '90 shows from rmb, and, oh, probably another 40 shows (68, 70, 71), I cannot possibly recommend that we pool our resources and do a huge everything from 81 vine. Or can I?

I just checked and I have 2 DVDs (flac/shn) labeled May '81 so that must be the May '81 vine I got. I would be willing to re-seed this in a week or 2. I always make copies of the DVD vines on DVDs as backups.

I am going to send out a mass PM note to a lot of you here describing a situation (Dead related). Basically, I have been made aware of something. I do not want to post the details on a public forum. I will send out the private PM note Wednesday morning. If for some reason, I missed including you, PM me to find out what's going on. Again, I will only be contacting the core vineyard group here. Tomorrow, the mystery will be revealed.

Haha, lots of luck involved. I thought the Dark Star was from '69 (the "crank" or washboard noise or whatever that is, plus the length of the song) then looked on deadlists for Dark Stars from that year that were the same, or close, length. Today's Althea was tougher because it wasn't clear, to me at least, what year it was from. I initially thought 80 or 81, but then added 79 and 82 too. Should have stuck with my initial instinct. Then, deadlists does not always list the length of each song during that time period. 3/14/81 is one of the shows the length of songs is not listed. So, really tough. I did figure it out but took longer today. And I didn't try to enter of course (very happy to have won once). Still waiting for the confirmation email, though. 3/14/81 does not circulate on SBD, and the Althea sounds great and the show is rated highly on archive, so it would make a GREAT release! Of course, that '69 show would be GREAT too!!!!

I will be adding to Dan's list too. I am in middle of late 78 and enjoyed a nice AUD fo 11/13 so I will include it. I don't want to give too much of this era though. I tried again today, for fun, not to win for myself (I MAY have been trying to help one of our friends here). I had it down to 4 shows, 7/19/74, 5/13/73, 10/2/72 and 10/9/72, but it took an hour to get to that point, and I would have gone with 10/2/72, which I now think is incorrect (5/13/73 seems the better answer). I'll do better, I promise!

Something wierd is going on. I know the site was down for some maintenance yesterday, and I had an awful time even accessing this site at times. Today when I went to log in, there are user names appearing in my log-in box. I have seen "raymart84santos" and "chrisjegg3" appearing in my log-in user name box. Above it, it says "Sorry, unrecognized username or password." In fact the there is this message.. "You previously logged in to Dead.net and checked the "Remember me" box. At that time, a login cookie was set on your browser that it uses identify you each time you return. However, the login cookie that your browser just provided doesn't match the one it previously set." The ONLY way to log in and bypass this is to click the middle tab at the top "Log in" which clears this error out and then you can log on. I wonder if the site has been hacked. Also, it took me about 4 attempts to log in for it to work.
