Sorry for the late reply, I have been away, but this was a dummies guide to file sharing that I wrote and shared on here a few years ago now, I should update it really, but for now, here's the document. Dummies Guide.doc

Any chance of expanding the top 40 folder to top 100? Or am I asking too much? I do love these packs, the best way to keep up with new album releases!

Wow! That is sad news. I hope someone takes it on instead.....

What would you put in its place? The punk explosion started more in 76, and was still going into the eighties with the clash and Sham 69 to name but two. It defined an era in music history.

RIP Scotty, and thank you for all the years on all the forums and torrent sites. So, many years ago I remember reading that music comes round in 7 year cycles in the UK, this is how I have read it over the last 20 odd years or so, what do others think? And what do you think is next? 1955 - 1962 The birth of rock n roll 1962 - 1969 The Beatles and the merseybeat 1969 - 1975 Glam rock. 1975 - 1982 Punk 1982 - 1989 New wave. 1989 - 1996 Rise of the boy bands 1996 - 2003 Girl power 2003 - 2010 Rise of the girl bands 2010 - 2017 Trance and club 2017 - 2024 Black power 2024 - 3031 ???

Still have this, and it still works, although nowhere near as good as it once was. My mate still uses it now, only thing he has ever used... Great piece of software.

You getting worried? lol. The TGX takeover, not ours.

I am hoping the new site moderators sort it soon, like GLO, they were asking for donations to keep it alive (after the takeover), it was always my backup for GLO if anything happened here....

Quite right BJ, they are converted twice, once to wav then to mp3 @192. I decided years and years ago after taking the official sound comparison test for bitrates, and a lot of reading up on audio formats that 192 was about right for a CD. I have stuck with this ever since and am happy with that choice. As I said why have dolby 5.12 for someone to grab a mic and kill it anyway.

I wasn't sure scotty, there was a flurry of post and I couldn't keep up with who had a what! So I threw them on anyway. If you recall BJ was going to try to find his original disc for one of them, and re-rip it, but I can't remember which....

That's ass about tit! Yes, they should be hidden to "Guests" but not to members of the forum! I want to decide BEFORE I click like, not after!!!!! That's just more messing about and more time comsuming! I may as well be a guest and login when I want something..... Here's an example of why hidden content doesn't work. Here is my EZP Collection

EZPs ONLY - [Hidden Content]

Hiya Lee, they are re-encoded, Mainly to level out the volume using LUFS. I hate having to keep adjusting the volume levels of whatever I am playing. That way I only need to find the volume level for the singer. A lot of my older stuff was at 64kbps from the old days, which got upped, along with 128kbps. 320s I mix down, that is for file saving space. A 320 is double the size of a 192, and not worth it when a singer will kill it!!! I have taken them down this morning as I couldn't fit everything on mega. I am uploading the EZPs only at the moment, and will post a new link when finished.

But if the link doesn't work? Or if you already have the content? e.g. BJ posted @320, yesterday, no idea what the content is until you react, only to find you don't need it. BJ also posted about a link not working at the top of this page, but you have to like it to discover that the link doesn't work. See what I mean? It is back to front. I have always reacted to post that interest me in the past anyway, so why even bring in this stupid hidden content?

Yes, I saw that, I thought you had a more permanent solution. I ain't going to react to every single post just to read it. It is like going into a shop and paying before you even select something! Its stupid! Thanks anyway.
