That is, can create a file from (say) 1:49 of a song to 3:05? More to the point: that can create a single file of those songs that, annoyingly, are stretched over several "tracks" on a CD (Mercury Rev's "Carwash Hair" is one example)? I know I can stitch the individually extracted files together...but when there are like thirty of them, it becomes an ass-pain. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 20:07:45 EDT From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: Finding Her Voice Indie rocker Kristin Hersh http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2009/03/08/finding_her_voi ce/ Finding Her Voice Indie rocker Kristin Hersh, 42, is coming home with Throwing Muses to perform at the Middle East on March 14.

Command-line only, but it is, as Eddie has been proven > not to say, the shit. Thanks. As it turns out, Max incorporates the cdparanoia engine...although I haven't figured out how/if it can extract specified ranges. However, it can extract multiple songs as single files - which I can then use Audacity to edit, which ultimately amounts to the same thing as extracting a range...and is just as easy, since it's rare that I could specify an *exact* range whose beginnings and ends I wouldn't have to manually edit afterwards anyway. > > > > I know I can stitch the individually extracted files together...but when > > there are like thirty of them, it becomes an ass-pain. > > not if you use sox.

Nothing rare or unreleased (the flyer out in front of the venue said something about "due to his fans, Robyn plays alot of rare and unreleased material") except for "Out Of The Picture" and "The Lizard". The sound was great, or maybe it was where we were sitting. The only feg I saw was Michael Wolfe, not sure if he is still on the feglist, but I saw him on the other side of the venue. There were some drunk guys behind me that made the evening interesting , and I get the feeling that they too came up from Portland. After the one gentlemen shouted out for "brenda's iron sledge" for like the 20th time that night, I turned around to glare at him. "You don't know much about Robyn, do you?" he said to me. Ummmmm yeah guy, I'm only typing out the setlist on my blackberry so that I can let the fegs know what they played when I get back. :) I have new respect for Young Fresh Fellows after watching them open for RH. I guess they have a new album coming out this summer, produced by Robyn himself. I get the feeling that it will be hard to find any YFF albums out there, though. We'll see, I guess. If you want to share, let me know. JBJ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:45:50 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Triple Door Show? Thanks John, sounds like a great set.
