  3. This looks Awesome as all OOP Japo do to me! The files download and then open nicely but I cannot convert to WMA. [Cannot use flac]
    Any suggestions? Thanks for all you do on these rare Manfred Eicher releases. VERY NICE!!!
    [FYI using spesoft these flacs will not convert to even MP3 or APE can that just be the flac file?
    in the past I have had no problem]

  4. Steve, why do u think you cannot use flac? most of players including winamp or VLC plays it without problem, and it is full quality loseless format. You can burn it onto cd after converting to wav - use FLAC frontend, small and smart free interface, or do any format of your choice via EAC or Windows Media Player with Daemon Tools and cue file.

  10. Thanks for all the Stivin's - so cool to hear these again - I used to have them on LP.
    Just donwloaded the flacs for this Japo System Tandem, and they all seem to be in mono which seems unlikely - there are 2 channels but the sound peaks on each side are identical and the L & R meters move the same.

  11. You are right, Chris. Strange, I don't remember where I came across these files, it is definitely not my rip. I got also 128 kbps mp3, which is in stereo.
