Title: Boyah, I neeeeeed help dowloadin.
Post by: The Hand That Fisted Everyone on April 19, 2010, 01:13:12 PM
SOOOOOOOOOOO

I found some cool Talking Heads/David Byrne bootlegs, and I need to know how to get them onto my flash drive, and get them to play through iTunes.

course they could automatically play. I dunno. I've never downloaded anything from MEGAUPLOAD or RAPIDSHARE or whatever.

THEN. There is this. The Motherload.

http://talking-heads.nl/heaven/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6

It talks about a bunch of different formats or whatever, like .snh, and .mpg. Haven't heard of either of them.

Just...i dunno...tell me what to download or something. I got a 2 gb flash drive, so hopefully I can get all I need in one sitting.

i'm soooo computer illiterate.

.mpg is mostly video.

It can be used for audio but I haven't seen it used like that


shn is apparently a lossless codec

http://www.mediamonkey.com/ use someting like this or dbpoweramp or LAME to convert from shn -> mp3 or shn -> FLAC -> MP3

so I'm assuming I can convert .rar formats with this website as well, right? or, can iTunes just play it?

how do I extract it?

nvm, googled it. Got the frog rar extracter because it's got a cool frog pic, and it's simple to use.

thanks for the help!
