    I couldn't handle all my bootlegs in lossless. No way. Just a few select ones and all the studio stuff

    Call me a noob, but is there a way to import from the CD via iTunes and get it lossless?

    Yep..like you said, any 192 bitrate MP3 or above would be fine.

    Cool. The only problem is, much like Casper, I don't have the HD space.

    Well, you can always buy an external hard drive. We have one, but my entire laptop is back-up on it together with some other stuff from the main PC.

    try one album that you listen to a lot in mp3. Re-rip it in lossless and see if you can hear the difference. I can definitely pick up on the quality boost. The music has shit loads more depth. (I suggest trying Pop in lossless. Should come in at about 500mb)

    Agreed But they aren't that expensive though. At least here in tiny Holland.
  10. 1983-08-20 - St. Goarshausen, Germany - Loreley Amphitheater (Video)


    Sound

    This show was broadcasted on TV channel WDR for Rockpalast '83. It's just one of the three 'available' TV / Radio Broadcasts on U2start. You can hear all the instruments and vocals quite clearly as you'd expect with plenty of bass and perfect balance.

    But I noticed, for about 20-30 seconds, a very clear buzzing sound, which absolutely shot my ears towards the end of An Cat Dubh, which wasn't pretty. The rest of the show sounds like a stretched analogue tape - however, to be still circulating in that good of a quality 25 years later is beyond me, however bad the sound may be.


    Performance

    I just felt that the band were restricted at this show. Sure, the members go outside to the barriers and dance everywhere, but they just had nowhere to go. Compare this show with Devore '83 and see what I mean - there seems to be a lot more freedom there. But overall, they're playing top-notch and none of the songs falter.

    Some very interesting snippets here, like A Little Peace, America and In The Midnight Hour also make an appearance too. This show would have to be good to consider that Gloria, I Will Follow, Sunday Bloody Sunday, The Electric Co, New Year's Day and ''40'' made up the vast majority of the Under a Blood Red Sky live album.


    Camera

    There's lots of closeups here and shots of the audience. But it seemed the cameramen had something for underneath the drums and Larry - see how many shots there are of the drums and Larry. But the camera is stable and doesn't jump too much around and the band all get shown equally being shown what they do best - playing as the greatest band in the world on some of their best songs written to date.

    And no poor video effects made their appearance here. Which is a good thing.
