Here's a sample. Tom lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 1206 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 7:46 am:    Tom: Very cool. I love Bird Song, probably my favorite piece that my band plays. So how do you set up the link? I remember suggesting people posting recordings of their work and Dave or Mica saying it couldn't be done. So how did you do it?

You can download or stream that show in any of several formats including mp3. I merely linked to one of the streaming mp3 files provided by the archive. The whole show is quite nice and if you download the lossless FLAC files, you can convert them to WAV files and burn them to CD for a nice crisp recording.

If you're a Mac OSX user I recommend using xACT instead of MacFLAC as it will also decode SHN files (and other formats) and allow for encoding as well. Other club members may have alternative recommendations for Microsoft OS users.

Decoded, burned, and I'm listening to it now. Next I'll make a label for it. Ain't computers grand??!!. Now does anyone have the link to a program to convert shn files to wav?
