    Something is wrong Mr. Nobody.

    I'll still be sending discs to anyone who asked for one. And, can still burn a few more if anyone else prefers that way. Just let me know.
    I was able to upload the first bunch 'o tunes, but the second one has an issue. It appears to be loading just fine, but when it gets to the end, there's nothing there to save. I didn't do anything differently than the first time, and after two attempts that take about 90 minutes each, I'm giving up for now. Anyone else having trouble with this?

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    I don't know what's up, and don't have time right now to try to test the download myself. But, if you'd like to have a CD version, just PM your address and I can hook you up that way. I should have time to try re-upping it in the next couple days and will give that a shot if it still doesn't seem to work.

    I grabbed both folders just fine but haven't had the time to unzip them yet, let alone listen.

    Sometimes you just have to come back and try again later when there's not so much internet traffic. With my Part 1 2007 YEC some people reported not being able to get some of the songs so I reupped them. Turns out the files were perfectly fine all along but the server was the problem. Try later at night or early the next morning and you should be okay (still way faster than snail mail ).

    Well, now I have another problem.

    I just played back a few of the tunes on my Media Monkey and they're filled with all kinds of crackling noise, like my speakers are shot or something, except they're not. I popped in a cd and it plays perfectly, as well it should since I just installed these new Klipsch Media Pro speakers.

    Anyway, maybe I'll try to burn the first one and see what happens on cdr playback. Perhaps it's something with Media Monkey, although that would be a stretch.

    Just wanted to say I just played it all the way through with no issues. Something must have corrupted your download, Swish.

    Come to think of it, user may be corrupted.

    Actually, the problem appears to be my cheapo version of Media Monkey, but only when using it to play songs. I had a ton of stuff saved to the library, so I played a few randomly and every one crackled and popped like a bowl of Rice Crispies. I used it to rip the first Nobody comp since that upload worked perfectly, and when I played it back using Media Player, it sounded the way it should.

    Not sure how to fix this but I guess I just won't use it for playback, which I rarely do anyway. At least I've identified the problem.

    Must be a DSP or EQ or volume leveling setting or maybe the direct sound setting.

    Well, I never fooled with those settings from the time...

    ....I installed it. I just took a look in the tools and the baseline volume was set to 89 db and clipping prevention was checked. The EQ had the original settings, all flat, and there was no DSP checked.

    So, I'm not sure if I should try to fix it or live with it. As I mentioned, I rarely use it for playback and only did this time to check a couple of Nobody's tunes since they were flac files that aren't supported in Media Player.
