Uploading to Archive.org..? Redbull & Co help needed

[Spaldz]

I'm interested in uploading a large chunk of SP to Archive.org...

Problem is I've had 2 attempts so far and they sure as hell don't look like the uploads which Redbull and co. uploads to the Archive.

Any chance someone could give a rundown of the options they select when uploading? (If you could give an exact walkthrough that would be even better such as what info you put in certain boxes etc)

I've obviously uploading them wrong and willing to try and help the cause

[sniffingchimp]

Sorry, no experience with Archive here but no doubt someone will point you in the right direction.

Appreciate the effort mate

[T&T]

i've uploaded a few things.

link to what yours look like.
and link to what you want it to look like.

otherwise i'm just guessing you advice.

[redbull]

make sure the .txt file is not included in the checksums!!!!!!!!!! upload will error out if you do this.

otherwise:

click upload

click on "advanced uploader for LMA concerts"

click the "share" button in the top right corner and select your files

fill out all the info

and you're good

[Spaldz]

This was one I uploaded as a tester...give me some tips on what needs to be changed. Appreciate your help so far

I'm not seeing the option to download the entire show in 1 zip file if that helps.

[redbull]

that link looks fine...what are you unhappy about?

[Skradgee]

One of the very first shows I uploaded didn't get listed with the rest of the SP shows. I think it ended up with the generic 'open source audio' stuff. I haven't had that problem since, but yeah...don't do what I did at first. :P

there's a vbr zip, but no flac zip because he uploaded shn files instead of flac.

looks fine though.






that show sounds really good!

[slunken]

oh yea i always forget about the links on the sidebar to the left.

[Spaldz]

Ok cool. If you guys are happy with it I will begin my quest to upload as many shows as possible onto the archive. Thanking you.

[New Art Rioter]

Do it! That first show is a classic, not heard it for years.

( just another occasion to say thank you very much uploaders )

Ok last one for you guys to check before I go ahead and upload based on the same criteria:

1997.01.25 - New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT

Taper: ?
Generation: ANA-3? (see below)
Source: ? (see below)
Location: ?
flaws: varying levels; two small dropouts during Porcelina; tape flip during Porcelina/Rocket; cut between Rocket and 1979; cut during 1st encore break and beginning of Spiders; tape flip during transition from Cherub Rock to Silverfuck
Conversion: Sony TC-WE625S > SGI Octane2 > Audition 3 > CDWave > flac
Resampling: none; show A/D converted at 44.1k
Editor: Henry Bent

20 - Cherub Rock > 4:34
--tape flip--
21 - Silverfuck > 16:06
22 - Space Jam 6:09

This is AUD #2, a previously uncirculating ANA source of this
show. It isn't an improvement over the DAT source so this is
one for completists only.

The ANA noise at the beginning of the tape leads me to think
that this is ANA-3, but that is only a guess.

The levels were noticeably different on each tape side. I
did not make any attempt to correct this.

10 - X.Y.U. (with Marilyn Manson and Twiggy) 7:33

This is what I am calling AUD #2, a second source for this
show that the SPLRA does not list.

Josh Provost sent this to me a long time ago. It is possible
that he taped it, and it is also entirely possible that
someone else did. I don't remember anymore.

This is what SPLRA has listed as AUD #4, a previously
uncirculating recording of this show. It has nothing to offer
to make it better than any other source, so this is for crazy
completists only.

[jimmy drevpile]

thankz

[redbull]

woahhhhhh new viper room

[slunken]

wow that's going to be a strange listen. especially knowing every glass tink and murmur from overplaying the other one over the years.

i don't know if i'm prepared for this. Grazie.

[aomb1979]

Thanks a ton for doin this

[Pizza Club]

Thank you!

[Rider]

Has anyone listened to the new Viper Room yet? It has to be light years better then the old version.

[CrabbMan]

I'm listening now. It's definitely a better recording, but I wouldn't say light years. There's still quite a bit of audience noise, and the drop-outs are kinda annoying. Still a great show. I forgot how much I dug James' songs. And that he's not a very good singer.

Thanks for circulating this!

Long live the LMA!

[redbull]

thanks for upping these. Did you wind up getting the alt source of 1994/08/28 off of Bent as well?

[paranoid]

awesome! thanks so much!!

It amazes that people go to shows and talk through the entire show. When I lived in NYC people would never do this, here in Florida people do this all the time, to the point where you can be right in front of the stage and not be able to hear. I was at a show last year where i actually had to go back to the VIP area and listen to the show being piped in over the PA.

[waltermcphilp]

Seriously, if you are going to talk stay at home.

People spent money to hear the band sing the songs, not you.

To be fair it tends to be worse at shows where people have not paid. I'm sure Viper room was 90% industry and people who were there to be seen. The time I had to hide in the VIP area it was a show where I would say at least half the crowd were not there to see the band and where just there for the opening night of a festival. It's still insanely rude though.

[redbull]

ok, this thread has reawakened some of my old fire...
I just pulled all the shows with lineage from my old computer at the parents' house that aren't on lma (~250), and I'll be upping those over the next several months as time allows...I even dug out a few old CDRs from my snail trading days....

up first
1993/11/22 interview Seton Hall (ANAx>CDR)
1996/08/28 Salt Lake City (ANAm>CDR)
1996/08/31 Wichita (DAT>ANAx>CDR)
1998/05/12 Jools Holland (VIDx>CDR)
1998/05/18 Cannes (VIDx>CDR)
1998/06/07 Rome (ANAx>CDR)
2000/01/31 Lawrence (ANAx>CDR)

[lucid_interval]
