Default Re: Kristofferson is 80 - Gordon sings ME AND BOBBY MCGEE

Anybody who has not heard that great (albeit necessarily monaural) bootleg can find it by opening
http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f14...hn-166078.html
the third download link accesses a still functional download from the filefactory storage website
use patience and the slow download link to get after a half hour or so a 308MB zip file containing 18 losslesly compressed files (in the older shorten format (*.shn)) unzip that file then use the freeware burning program burrrn (yes3 "r"s). that program should not only burn the requisite audio CD from the shn files but as I recently discovered by default burns it "gapless"so that the continuous playback of a concert or that radio broadcast is rectreated as also is the effect of the streaming files on sugarmegs at
http://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/G...townCanada.asx
From sugarmegs you can also download a single file of the complete broadcast, which will of necessity be gapless as either a small (16.2MB) low quality *.wma format file (sampled at 40.6KBPS) or a larger (83.1MB) medium quality *.mp3 format file (sampled at an overall rate of 203KBPS). Whilst the mp3 could well produce a reasonable sounding audio CD the use of a lossless source such as *.shn files would be a better bet (besides which both mp3 and wma files would ideally require splitting into individual song files before burning the audio CD (which whilst that is not hard to do using the free Audacity program) it is more tedious than waiting for the zip file to download from guitars101's File Factory link.
