What bootleg format do you buy?

Speaking of downloading. Anyone else have this problem?
When I rip CDs onto my computer, there is no standard format for naming. Disc 1 may be titled something like "Seattle 11/1/2000" and disc 2 is titled "2000 November 1 Seattle" or something weird. With a different name it doesn't even recognize it as the second disc to the show.
Its not a huge deal, but do go through and change the title of each CD so they can match up becomes a pain when you're trying to upload an entire box set.
Why isn't there a standard naming system they use, or at least make both parts of the same show the same!

I voted CD because I want a physical copy.   as for your question about yes happens on a lot of their bootlegs.  it's kind of random and kind of annoying.

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. 

ALAC plays on Itunes???

Yep, it's a native format developed by Apple.  Apple Lossless Audio Codec.

Thank you!!..work same as MP3??..downloading and adding to the library??

This may be a silly question but I'm kind of an old man when it comes to these things.  If I were to DL one of these shows onto my phone's music library, what's the best format to use so I can listen to it in my car? (whether it's transferred to spotify or whatever)  My car doesn't have a CD player

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).

I've thought the same thing before. I always buy a physical CD of the shows I was at too.
But I always just assumed they don't allow it because a CD is somethign physical, actually costs them money to produce and package (although probably just a buck or two), while the download doesn't cost them anything for me to download. So a free download I get something for "free" without them being out cost. ( I say "free" because is it really if it is part of our paid membership?)
I'm not complaining, I think its still cool. I downloaded shows I otherwise would not have without it, and still buy the physical CD of ones I really want. Which is probably exactly what they had planned on.

Hey, from one old man to another.... get a CD player installed in your car.

Well, if I am going to take that "old man" part seriously, I would just suggest buy a cassette tape adapter that you plug into your car's radio and play it though your DiscMan.

Well, that is just not very helpful.

Always FLACHD.  You can convert anything to a lower format, burn anything you want, etc., but you can never improve the quality of your audio source.  If you have a decent system, and if you use good cans, there is definitely a difference.  

Thanks!

I wonder if this result would be different in 2022? Are the FLACHD worth the extra money over FLAC?

Used to buy the CDs but now just use my code to download a show I like the look of. I must say I still have a code sitting there, I’m waiting to use it on a new show, hopefully a 2022 one, or an Ed one!? I did download one of the Ohana shows but haven’t listened to it that much.
