Oscar Peterson - Exclusively for my friends (disc 1 of 4) Genre: Jazz Info: Recording from the late 60s, but quite good. 4-CD set of genius Oscar Peterson at his best. Live recording in Germany, sponsored by a rich admirer patron, set up in a large room of his mansion, a dozen listeners or so. Combines the best of a live recording with that of a semi-controlled studio environment. ====================================== Source & posting info: ---------------------- - ripped from a copied CD edited with Sound Forge to remove any DC offset. - ripped with EAC v0.95 (Test & Copy/secure mode/cache disabled) (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) - APE'd with Monkey's Audio v3.99 (high compression) (http://www.monkeysaudio.com/) - PAR2'd with QuickPAR v0.91 (http://www.quickpar.org.uk/index.htm) - Posted with yEnc-Power-Post-A&A-v11b (http://powerpost.cjb.net/) ====================================== CD burning info: ---------------- All tracks are extracted intact (i.e. without stripping out gaps/ silences). Consequently, you don't need a CUE sheet/file to burn the CD: simply queue up the tracks in the right order in your CD burning software and tell it NOT to insert any additional gap/silence between tracks. If you prefer to use the Image CUE sheet provided, you'll need to "join" all tracks into one single WAV file. AddaWav and WaveGlue do just that. You can respectively find them at: http://www.geffers.demon.co.uk/programs.html http://www.threechords.com/hammerhead/wavglue.shtml I also provide a "non-compliant" CUE file. I have no idea how it's any better or more useful than the Image CUE or no CUE sheet at all, but since a few ppl have requested it at times and it only takes another second to create with EAC, I'm happily obliging. My vague and fuzzy understanding is that it might not work with programs other than EAC when burning the CD, but I may well be wrong - I wouldn't know nor care as I never use CUE files to burn my CDs. I'm only providing it for the people who know what they are doing - don't sue me if you end up with a coaster, you'll spend more money than you'll ever squeeze out of my minimum wage earnings. Anyway, whether you use the CUE or not, you'll end up with a CD with exactly the same musical content. I recommend Feurio (http://www.feurio.de/) to burn audio CDs. EAC is great for ripping, but a long way from 100% compliance to the red book standard when it comes to burning audio CDs. ======================================
