Torrent/FLAC easy to understand guide
With the new tour and open-taping policy, I figure we'll be seeing alot more torrents, and more people will want them.
Here is an awesome Bittorrent FAQ: http://dessent.net/btfaq/ FLAC files: All around awesome program: http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/ You can play them with: Foobar2000 (www.foobar2000.org, my choice) Winamp (www.winamp.com, with plugin) iTunes (with this mod: http://playlistmag.com/news/2006/07/11/ogg/index.php) You can convert with: Foobar2000 (have the LAME mp3 codec installed for best results, if making mp3) Flac frontend (flac.sf.net) MAC USERS: use this: http://sbooth.org/Max/ remember, most tapers don't want you to make mp3s of their shows, except for personal use (your ipod, etc). You should never make mp3 files of a show and put them online unless the taper gives you explicit permission to do so. Last edited by redbull : 05-27-2007 at 09:33 PM. |

What about .shn files then? And... is the community now leaning towards .flacs as opposed to .shns?

XACT is all you need to decode Flac/SHN on Mac.
As for playing them, I think VLC Media Player does that and everything else under the sun. |

you need to put it into the plugins folder and then restart winamp. I havent used winamp in a long time, but it will have a bunch of .dll files like "lame_in.dll" and "lame_out.dll"

Here's a site that pretty much sums up why I seeded the file the way I did, named the files the way I did, etc.

to convert, load the files into frontend, choose an output directory, and hit "decode". MAKE SURE THAT "DELETE INPUT FILES" IS NOT CHECKED. |

I already made sure of that. Don't want to delete those bad boys It doesnt give me a choice what to decode into..unless it was a wav file before hand. |
