What is the best way to do digital transfers between a laptop and
a Sony M-1? I've seen a couple of boxes that boast optical SPDIF
to/from USB, but I believe the M-1 uses a coaxial SPDIF, and not
optical. But I'm not even sure. Anyone with any experience
doing this? I can't change sound cards in the laptop, so I'm
stuck with the USB or firewire lines.
Fred

The PoFA is a *very* wide venue, so that you can be fairly far
off-center and still be inbetween the L&R PA stacks.
There is also a center-fill PA to make up for the width a bit.
If you're closer than the 4th row or so, then the center PA will be
aimed over your head.
I wouldn't want to sit more than half-way back, but seating depends on
when you buy tickets!
Security there is typically mellow, but it's quite unusual for SF Jazz
to allow anyone to tape (I've only seen open taping at one show of
theirs over the past six or seven years).

Absolutely - fix it or your cd will sound shrill with a 10 dB high end
boost. If you're confining yourself to making cdr's, then the simplest way
is just to leave the emphasis intact but to set pre-emphasis flags when you
burn to cdr. Every cd player will then automatically demphasise and play
normally - for it's part of the red book standard - but you should label
those cdr's fully, though, to avoid grief for any unsuspecting future folks
trying to extract audio from the disks.
The easiest way to insert pre-emphasis flags is to work with cue files and
burn with programs such as CDRWIN, Plextools, Nero, EAC etc. Edit the cue
file ASCII to add the line FLAGS PRE between each TRACK command and the
subsequent INDEX command. If your cd has multiple tracks, you should
require exactly the same number of 'FLAGS PRE' - unless you prefer a
"hybrid" cd <g>.

Hey all,
Odd request. I have 30 boxed(in lots of 5), unused, shrink wrapped Sony
DG90Ps 90m DATs. My decks don't like these so I'm looking for someone
willing to swap. I'll do all 30 tapes for 15 60 meter, Sony, Maxell, or
TDK. Again, all unused, still in the cartons. I'm not trying to unload
crap but the decks have been acting up with these. This is what I get
for buying 50 of them.
thanks,
Geoff

So I=92ve been archiving CDR=92s and DAT=92s to FLAC files and then to
DVD-R=92s. Works great, except I=92ve got a few CD=92s that were =
over-burned
to 81 minutes or so that I=92ve extracted as individual tracks and now I
can=92t burn them back to CD=92s (they were originally overburned using =
a
large .wav file and a cue sheet). Any bright ideas on burning these
without decompressing and pasting them all back together?=20
While I=92m here I=92ll pick your brains on one more question. I=92m =
finally
getting a handle on my collection. The DVD=92s are numbered 2005-01,
2005-02, 2005-03, etc and I enter the information into an Excel
spreadsheet. I have fields for date, band, venue, city, DVD # and
source; what=92s next in creating a spreadsheet tool so that I can =
search
by each of those fields?

Thanks!

Looking to see if anybody is able to tape the norwegian
heavy psych-rock band WE March 3rd in London, UK @ Fabric.
For info about the band, www.werock.org is a good place to start.
WE's laters release "Smugglers" is a killer spaced out heavy rock
album which I recommend you checking out. Produced by Chris Goss
who also guests on the title track.
The band is taper friendly. Video and audio. If you tape, then
get in touch. Have lots to trade including several masters.
For you who did not get tickets for QOTSA, get out and catch this
band!

I'll keep it minimal: Anybody know of any service anywhere where I can
submit text and pay or something, and they send it in a paper letter via
USPS? I've always wondered if this service exists anywhere for any price. I
type a letter or anything on my PC, and it arrives in someone's USPS mail.
Answer off-list of course. Thanks, Jonathan
