1. Does anyone here use Nero Soundtracks? I want to use it to mix some shows together but don't want to be limited to separating a two-hour show into "parts" to fit on 80-minute CD's. In other words, how can I convert a "playlist" directly into mp3 format so I can play it on my ipod?
  2. Ali - have you sent a PM to Kirsten?

    I don't understand the "other words" but I do know how to avoid the 80 minutes limit on Nero Soundtrax. You have to go to Options, then 'Project properties' or something like that, then change the 80 minute value for whatever you want.

    Thanks for responding Sergio. I thought you might be able to help me here.

    I suppose what I meant was: Once I have created a playlist in Soundtrax (with allthe nifty edits, crossfades, etc.) do I have to create a CD BEFORE I transfer the project into a program like i-tunes (to play on my ipod) or is there a way that I can transfer my project from Soundtrax directly into itunes?

    If you want all the tracks mixed but in separate files, I'm afraid you have to burn it on a CD (or "burn" it to a virtual image) and later extract the tracks with a normal CD>mp3 ripper. iTunes can do that, for example.

    But if you want all the tracks to be merged into one big audio file, there's no need to burn it onto a CD: you can just do "File > Export to..." (Export, not Save) and there you can select mp3, wav or the audio format you like. That will encode your whole playlist into a single 80-minutes-long audio file which you can later manage with iTunes or whatever you like.

    I hope that helps

    Thanks for the suggestions. Can I assume that this will work for a file longer than 80 minutes?

    I'm trying to put an enite "concert" together without having to fade out (of disc 1) and fade in (into disc 2) half-way through the show.

    Yes, absolutely. You can make your project shorter or longer than 80 minutes by managing that "Project properties" I told you before.
    The only problem with that -which won't affect you, I think- is that if you do a, let's say, 120 minutes project, you obviously won't be able to burn it all on a proper 78-minutes CD. But you can still export it to a single mp3 file with no problem
  8. Has anyone ever used an AppleTV and if so, what's your experience and opinion of it?

  9. A friend of mine has it, I was at him's yesterday evening and he was controlling everything in his house (computer, sound equipment, AppleTV) with his iPad. It's surreal. I guess it will/would be useful if you are an Apple maniac and have iPhone, iPad and the rest of the lil' expensive Apple gizmos. But I'm sure it's not worth the money. Just my 0'02$
  10. Hello,

    I'd like to have your opinion about burning the bootlegs.
    As for the Mp3 bootleg, I have more than 70 CD-R (700 MB) till The HTDAAB Pomo Tour, I didn't burn the following years yet... I like to burn CD-R because my Mp3 bootlegs are saved and I can listen the bootleg on the DVD player...
    I think, I will download the next Mp3 bootlegs I already have on DVD-R...

    I also began a little lossless collection, but I ask me how to burn these bootlegs...
    If I create a data DVD-R, I think I can't play the bootleg with my dvd player, but the lossless bootlegs are saved (what I want first).
    I think, it's not good to convert the lossless bootleg to lossly format so I want to burn with the flac or shn or ape files... I don't have an external hard disk.

    What do you do with your bootleg collection and, especially, your lossless bootlegs ?
    Thanks


  11. I guess it could be cool. Just check so that the shows and stuff you want to watch are available, I guess there could be stupid copyrights involved.

    When I want to burn them I convert them to WAV, AIFF or Apple Lossless and burn them with iTunes.
