Hi all. In agreement with Bodo I have now made the radio show from the Tower Theater concert, October 24th, recently linked to on thesoundofsimon.tk, available as seperate flac files here:

http://www.paul-simon.info/files/TowerTheater2006/
flac


Please note that the source IS the long mp3 file mentioned above, so it is still lossy!
However this way you will be able to listen to the tracks independently AND you will be able to burn them on cds without the small clicking sounds between the tracks that splitting the file to seperate mp3 files would cause.
Still, you can listen to the mp3s without the annoying pauses with the right setup on a descent mediaplayer (iTunes for example :-) ), so if you have no wish to burn to a cd, you might as well go with the splitted mp3s. They are also available:

mp3


Unlike the flacs i also tagged the mp3 files.

If there will be a lossless version of this available at some stage, I will remove these lossy files.

For the sound geeks, here is what I did:

Converted the long mp3 file to Wav in the mac app Amadeus II -> Inserted markers with track names and splitted the file according to markers -> converted to flac using the mac app MacFlac.
The reason I went over wav is, that Amadeus II appearently messed up the files when encodiing directly to flac, so I had to use MacFlac to do that.

For the splitted mp3s all I did was split them i Amadeus II, saved with bitrate 192 and then I tagged them in the mac app Jaikoz.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much for your effort.
(Although I guess I´ll wait for the lossless files -until then, I am happy with my big mp3 file on the pc).

Yeah, I don´t think I will burn to cds just yet either. Still it is really nice to have the seperate (and tagged) mp3s, especially as they play continously with no clicks or pauses in my iTunes (how do they do that? - when burned to cd there is the well known click caused by the small pause on in the mp3 files...). Also, I think the quality is good enough to make a descent cd, and then of course you need the flacs.
Anyway, I had done a lot of this editing and converting, before I realised that there might be a better (lossless) version of this out there, so I thought I might as well put it up, though I can certainly understand if people (like you) would be interested in a lossless recording :-)

Oh, and I forgot to mention one thing:
I didn´t fade in or out on any of the flacs. I thought that people might want to split the concert differently than I indicated with the file names...

Sorry, My English is basic.
It´s not the first version, they have cut it, edited and improved the sound a little. They have cleared the commentaries of the presenter between the songs.
It´s better than the first version.
I hope understand to me.
