Rob Not Bob

Actually, I'm pretty sure I installed FLAC after I installed Nero, but I installed the plugins manually and it worked fine. Thanks very much for your help.

Hey, folks, need a bit of technical help. I recently had my system reloaded. I burn shows that I download with Nero Express 6. Before reloading the system, I used to just drag and drop FLAC files onto Nero and it would automatically decode them and burn them. Now, it is giving me an error, "The selected WMA files are protected and cannot be processed". I can use the FLAC Front End software and decode them to WAV files and then burn them, but if there is any way I can remove this error so I can burn them without having to take the extra step?

My head officially just exploded.

Dima,

A Tribute To Jack Johnson called. He wants you to pick him up tomorrow.

I was going to say that too, Booche. Also count me as the one guy who loves On The Corner ... a lot of Jazz purists hate it, but I think it is spellbinding. Throw in Dark Magus, Pangea, Agharta, Big Fun, Live Evil and Get Up With It for the full, super-awesome 70s Miles experience.

On a fusion tip, Inner Mounting Flame and Birds Of Fire by Mahavishnu Orchestra are well worth some time.

The song that puts Two From The Vault into my all-time favourite list is Good Morning Little Schoolgirl.

Oh, I am right with you on that, Jaimoe. When I first tried to get into the Dead, the first releases I got were One and Two From The Vault and Grayfolded, but it just didn't click for me. I would take them out every once in a while to try and figure what the fuss was about but nothing doing. Then one evening I was listening to One From The Vault and during the dueling bass/guitar solos in Eyes Of The World I had my epiphany on the road to Damascus. I then listened to Two From The Vault and GMLSG sealed the deal. The very next day I got The American Book Of The Dead, Europe 72, Aoxomoxoa, Fallout From The Phil Zone and Reckoning and the rest is history (coincidentally, the next day was payday )

Thanks, Jaimoe, I was trying to find a postable version of that

Partly copied from something I wrote on another board ...

For some reason, my favorite line of the night was, "Goodbye ... Kelly Kapur!" Not a good night for Kelly, I love how when she says "What?", it's not out of shock or hurt or heartbreak, it sounds like she found something hairy in her Cobb salad.

Revelation of the night for me, Ryan has an MBA. As Fiona remarked, "Hence the bitterness."

The wit and wisdom of Creed Bratton

"That to me is highly offensive. Natural is the way to go, baby. Swing Low, Sweet Chariots."

sounds like those plotlines make Rob a bit squeamish too

Not so much those plotlines, but Sam and Diane drove me up wall right quick.

How in the world did Ollie survive the Sam and Diane years?????

That almost killed that series too. Don't tell me you liked that shit?

Hear hear!

The Pam/Jim story arc is long past its expiration date and they killed Jan's strong character two weeks ago. Am I the only one to notice this?

you're the only one to care

dude- it's a comedy!

not a kleenex fuelled-haagan daz out of the tub-crying coz it's so beautiful-girly romance!

To paraphrase Woody Allen in Love & Death : "What is this, Slap Ollie Day?"

Cool to see he is being buried with a Grassroots CD, given that Creed (in the show and IRL) was the guitarist for Grassroots.

Given how closely ollie's musical tastes have indepedently parralleled my own, I can safely say he doesn't listen to crap.

Trivia : SWLABR actually stands for "She Walks Like A Bearded Rainbow". Enjoy!

Why do you like the crap you listen to?

Same reason.

My question was less about quality than it was about quantity.

Sorry' date=' didn't mean to be a grump. I know this stuff sells. I've just burned out on the dearth of live material out there.

[/quote']

I was burned out too, after getting caught up and getting a lot of GD live material at once. Now, however, it has been a long enough time (for me, anyway) with no new commercial live Dead aside from the Cow Palace 76 release that I built up enough anticipation. No matter how much stuff I might already have, I still can develop an appetite for new releases. And I think you mean "surfeit", not "dearth" ... "dearth" is the opposite of what this situation is

Who is still clamoring for this stuff and why?

For one' date=' I am. I don't have or have heard every GD show out there. I love getting the professional made recordings of great GD shows over the fan recorded AUDs or generic SBDs that inhabit the internet and I also enjoy the CD artwork and liner notes included.[/quote']

I guess this comes the closest to my own reasoning, I find I listen with a little more focus and anticipation on the commercial releases.

While I wouldn't say I was clamoring, I was actually getting antsy for a new commercial release ... go figure, I listen to these more than I do my downloaded and burned Dead shows.

I can't wait for the DVD set just for the deleted scenes, I hear they are totally Creed-rific.

About frickin' time, the Dead archival releases have slowed to a crawl (then again, I don't think I could afford them the way they used to release them.)

And it all happened the weekend before I went to Toronto
