Kim" Subject: Re: Latest from BarryGibb.com So far as I know, when you download the song from iTunes, it has the extension of Aiff. Then, you can convert it to WAV using a GoldWave program. It's a cinch. With the same method, I got an MP3 of Underworld. On 29/09/06, maggie-bleksley wrote: > > Very true.

Yes I know Eyes is almost perfect as it is. Barry's Hold me; Eyes and from Guilty Make it like a memory and The love inside are absolutely excellent. Can's say that an=bout the sound of Heartbreaker. I've not heard EA boot though. Julian ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 22:52:20 +0900 From: "Robert S. Kim" Subject: Questions It would be greatly appreciated if you give me answers to the following questions: I found some interviews about the Bee Gees' early recordings. When did these interviews take place? http://68.109.231.118/pub/let1.mp3 http://68.109.231.118/pub/let2.mp3 http://68.109.231.118/pub/ny.mp3 Plus, can you tell me how the following tracks from Bee Gees Christmas are related to the Bee Gees? 01-O Come, All Ye Faithful (Humorous Intro).mp3 02-Silent Night (Extended Mix).mp3 (I guess this came from a fan club EP 'A Personal Message of the Bee Gees') 03-Holiday (March Of The Wooden Soldiers).mp3 07-First Of May (Shepherd Remix).mp3 (I think this is not different from its studio version.) 10-Come Home For The Winter (Andy Gibb).mp3 12-Silent Night (Live with Wives & Children).mp3 13-Christmas Eve or Halloween (Partial).mp3 14-In The Bleak Winter.mp3 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 16:04:03 +0200 From: "Toni Quintana" Subject: Re: Latest from BarryGibb.com Well of course that there are ways to convert files to other types, but the point I was complaining is the lack of places where I can download wav files. I want the original file I may find in a CD, then I'll convert it into what I need depending of the player..., my car, my home stereo or my MP3 player for jogging. I believe that getting wav files from other format with less compressio would be like triyng to get an 8 megapixels foto from a 3 megapixels original. I'd like to be able to buy the 8 megapixels. Few days ago I bought the last Terence Trent D'arby's work, Angels & Vampires, you can't buy it on shops, you must download the songs from his web, I went all the stages and when I got all the songs I saw that the files were only at 192 kbs...., I suppose that the quality can't be the most when there are MP3 compressed at 320 kbs, and of course guess that wav files must be even better quality. In my point of view download sites are cheaper but the stuff they sell isn't as good as the one from CD's, Id' like someone could explain me technically if I'm wrong or right.

Hope the quality is better than the $30 bootleg discs some people bought (not me of course). If he is releasing these type of items, imagine what else he'll release!

Please advise. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 16:53:25 +0200 From: "Ronnie Olsson" Subject: Re: Now Voyager DVD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert S.

Make sure you have set the audio selection to LPCM Stereo in the Now Voyager dvd menu. If it plays DTS you won't hear anything unless you have a DTS decoder in your amplifier. /Ronnie Vi sitter i samma bil, en silvergrå missil En bomb i motsatt fil, vi sitter i samma bil.
