I downloaded several of these the night I received my Stereophile. Some are OK, some are terrible, most are unknown. If I had to rate them with a system, it would be as follows: Most of the better ones are the ones that were hot decked right off a properly setup soundboard. Next are the ones made with stereo mikes setup in the band's allowed recording area. Anything else is not realy worth it. There is to much crowd noise or the guy is holding two mikes in one hand above his head or using the mike built into his DAT recorder. My suggestion is to scroll all the way down to the bottom and read the reviews before downloading. If it hasn't been reviewed, move on until you have plenty of time to download a sample song (unless you already know the group). Remember these are large files so your time is an issue also. One good thing has come out of this, it has created exposure for some groups to enable them to sign with Digital Soundboard http://app1.dsbd.net/dsb/index.jsp Steve Kimock is well worth downloading in my opinion, but I am also a guitarist. I am also not up to speed with tagging and have not been able to figure out how to use the tagging info that is listed in a separate file. So mine are semi-tagged by how I download them. First create a directory for the artist, then create a directory for the album or event, then download the songs into this directory by renaming them as you save them remembering to edit the title with the track number before saving. Its worked so far. Wish I could use that tagging file provided with most.
