The vine I've been talking about

Yeah, you can compress them to MP3 if you want, or you could modify your iPod for FLAC

I don't think it would make much sense to FLAC it though. The whole point of the iPod is tons of songs in a tiny space. FLAC files would fill that thing up in a heartbeat, no? I'd compress 'em to mp3 for the iPod and burn regular lossless CD-Rs of everything for non-iPod listening...

Anyway, here's a breakdown of what's on the discs:

Praise Ye The Lord

VU-3
Caught Between The Twisted Stars (4 discs)
Flowers Of Evil (2 discs)
Live At The Second Fret (2 discs)
More Rarities
Screen Test: Falling In Love With The Falling Spikes

Upgrades (La Cave 4/28/68, La Cave 1/31/69, BTP 3/13/69, BTP 3/15/69)

Again, nice job Candy, many thanks!

Since I'm computer-retarded, can someone explain how to compress the songs to MP3? By the by, how's the vine going? I'm #3 in line for it.

You use the software I included on one of the discs - it's a simple, two-step-process that I'll PM you a pictorial for.

Can I join in on this too?
I have Ultra Rare Trax. Vol 4 on silver CD, I can add in a copy of that if anyone wants.

Sure, PM me.

Just heard from Joe, he got the discs I sent, so things continue to move forward...

Yes, I will be sending them to CEddy next.

Candy,

When will there be a Lou Reed vine?

Any good sounding shows with material mainly from The Bells, Street Hassle or Coney Island Baby?

That torrent stuff is for the birds!

I think Lou solo is corny...Han Solo on the other hand is pretty badass:
