uhhh.... fricking sweet!!! thanks zep

Excellent. Thanks.

rockin! thanks zeppfan

Thanks so much for this.. but FLAC?? I know pople love it and all but couldn't you just rip them at 320 kbps VBR?? I'll download them, seed the fuck out of them and then convert them.. and I'll probably make a torrent for this in 320 kbps. Thanks anyways.

pseudomessiah, these are EXACT copies of the CDs. If you tin-eared folks want to ruin them and convert to MP3, knock yourself out. But don't try to spoil it for the rest of us.

You can always convert the FLAC to MP3 for your own use, but you can't convert compressed artifact-ridden awful sounding MP3s back to FLAC.

Thanks a million, zeppfan, for keeping quality high!

dude, I'm more worried about portability than quality.

Are there any portable media players out there which play FLAC?? I'm sure there's cracked software.. somewhere but the majority of us aren't really worth the hassle.

Now as for us tin-eared folk, I can actually tell the difference between a FLAC and a high quality mp3, but the difference is pretty small.

Where the hell did you get the idea that I'd reconvert them back to FLAC again come from as well. I mean, do you really think I'm some dumb shit?? If it goes to MP3 its STAYS mp3.

Yours.

As promised Here's the Van Halen's good albums in 32kbps CBR MP3 - http://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/4946538

Let me explain something to you pseudomessiah in the most respectful way I can: FLAC is a lossless file container in which music can best be stored in it's original quality. Nothing, I repeat, nothing can compare to CD quality music (with 1 and only 1 exception: Vinyl. Vinyl can run at bitrates over 4,000kb/s) the Bitrate for a CD quality song is usually well over 1,000kb/s which is 4-5 times the quality of a superb 320kb/s mp4 file).

The difference you say is "small". I think not. The difference is enormous. I too convert all my FLAC songs into 320kb/s mp4 for my Zune, but I KEEP all the FLAC's backed up on a TB drive. If you've stepped into the modern era of storage then you should own at least 1 TB drive. If you do it's so easy and safe to backup these large files. Don't criticize the quality of these torrents as they are exceptionally high and zeppfan deserves the utmost respect for his efforts. Just because it's "inconvenient" for you to have to convert them doesn't make these FLAC torrents any less amazing.

Nice upload.
Now, for all you weird ones out there: Stop converting anything into MP3. Just not worth it.
If you, as me, have a portable player that does not support FLAC (iPhone in my case), convert to either WAV og Apple Lossless.
Easy and quite fast.

Anyone can hear the difference, just not all that know why it's better. But you would know if you had some propper cans for it.

Also from me, thanks a billion times zeppfan.

great! one of my top 5 bands!!!!!
how do i read the FLAC?
is there any program for mac?
or does i tunes reads flac?
any ways TNX!

Regarding what portable players can play flac: Sansa Fuze and Clip will play flacs with the latest firmware upgrade. I have the Fuze; works and sounds great. The biggest capacity is 8GB but there's an empty micro SD slot as well for expansion.

People who don't like flac, fine; people who complain about other people uploading flacs? WTF. Shove it.

"Are there any portable media players out there which play FLAC?? I'm sure there's cracked software.. somewhere but the majority of us aren't really worth the hassle."

Thanks to winamp, my iPod does. Winamp makes iTUnes look even more crappier and I have pretty much 100% control of how my music is transfered to it. I have it set to a HQ VBR rate, but I do have to option to set all my syncs to FLAC if I choose. With this it's a simple transfer and I dont loose any quality. Killer upload man and for those who think it's a hastle deal with it. It's not like you bought this....

great torrent, but slightly misleading. it's not full discog. it's lacking the album "1984", could you possibly up it in FLAC? i'll search for another up in the meantime but i'd love a copy in the same quality as these.

my apologies. the album IS there, it just wasn't showing up in the file list

Hey zeppfan1968! coud you or someone told me if all this 6 cd's are from warner remasters??are this cd's ripped directly by you?? thanks and sorry my bad english

Watchout people - Zeppfan is known to use lossy files (non-flac). I wouldn't get his torrents or at least check with audio checker

Some of these are not from the remastered CDs.
