    CD. No need to pay for digital, they’re all out there anyway.  Just find them.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I would buy only vinyl bootlegs if that ever becomes an option.

    I just ordered Seattle 1 in flac and was assuming I would be sent a download link right away. Instead my order just says pending. Is This normal? The last bootleg I ordered was in 2013 and I don't think I had to wait at all.

    CD.   I like to collect the cd's from the shows I've been too.  I always thought it was a shame you can't use the analog 10c code to discount a cd like you can for FLAC (or use it to get a FLAC for free for that matter).

    Small apartment means no room for a CD collection, but agree most boots are out there for download. Just need to look.

    I don't own a turntable. I'm running out of things that play CDs. I have relatively crummy headphones. 

    Voila! MP3 for me!

    I’ll buy CD’s for shows I attended, but outside of that, ALAC makes the most economic sense to me. You get a good jump in quality & versatility over mp3 for a couple extra bucks, and it’s compatible with all my iThings.

    I use the download codes for the shows I attended.  i get enough of the other live stuff from PJ Radio and I don't feel the need to buy a box set.  I'd probably never listen to or even open the majority of them.

    Has happened to me. Bought about half of the 2000 tour, lsitened to them all a lot. Did the same for 2003.
    Bought a handful of others, but when 2008 and 2010 came, bought the box set. I never even opened most of the cd's until a few months ago when I finally ripped them into my computer.
      *now that I looked in the shop, I think its the 2009 and 2010 box set. And I purchased about half of 2008 separately. I can't even remember what years I have a box set for!
    How many live shows do I really need? I probably have about 200 at this point, and I bet there's 40 or 50 I still haven't even listened to.
    And honestly I can't even have a favorite because they all just blend together at some point. 

    So now I just buy the shows I go to, and 1 or 2 more if they really stick out. 
    But I prefer hard CD's and rip them. The digital code is just a bonus for me for one extra show (that I obviously don't need).

    Started out buying CDs and bought the 2016 boxset due to the number of shows I attended.

    I bought some of the FLAC HD when they first became available and although there is a difference in quality, I can only play them on my PONO so it cuts down on the options.

    Nowadays I am more likely to just use my bootleg code on a MP3 for arandom show that has a good setlist. I am thinking about going for London 2.  any folks out there that have heard this boot?

    For me this time around for Seattles it's my free downloads to download because I'm impatient... and the CDs to arrive later!

    When the cds were actaully cds, I went that route, but given they are just burned, give me the data file and I will burn it myself.  That way I always have the source copy, until my drive crashes.

    Tried to download 8/8/10 to my iPhone. Can’t figure it out. Not sure how I’m supposed to hold down a ‘control’ key that doesnt exist while I’m trying to click the song. 
    Download manager does nothing.
    Contacted nugs and they won’t help me because I bought it thru pj. 
    Totally lost on this. 
    i already ordered the cd...but just wanted to listen early. Oh well.... I’ll just wait for the postman. Thankfully, I only wasted a tenclub download code rather than cash.

    I downloaded each song individually to my computer and then transferred the folder to my phone. Was a pain in the ass but only took a few minutes. The "download manager" did nothing.

    Yeah, I guess my smart phone isn’t very smart. Or maybe I’m the one who isn’t smart. 
    I’ll try your approach when I get home tonight. I wanted to listen at work today. Oh, well.
