John S Stuart wrote: Each track can be burned up to 3 times, so creating this disc will not effect my "Official" download CD when it arrives - but how - using Windows Media (or any other program) - do I eliminate the few seconds between each track?

I was hoping that the download tracks would be an additional "bonus" that would NOT be part of the official product, and exclusively available to Queen-Online. For example - Queen's Wembley and Milton Keynes, and Brian's Brixton were "full" shows - I was hoping that an official live product would be on the same lines - and not a composite of the entire European tour.

Actually, Brian's Brixton CD and Video/LD release was not complete, as the song "God (The Dream Is Over" (by John Lennon) could not be included for "legal copyright reasons" (Yoko didn't answer Brian's letter asking permission to use the song on the CD). So it's not quite complete. Also, apparently some songs were edited as well. I could be wrong on the last part.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Where does it say that proceeds from the tracks are going to charity. I see that it says that for the CD but I don't see that written anywhere for the tracks. Maybe I missed that. Either way $1.85 for a track is too expensive.

But then again, I think my general point still stands - in that personally I would prefer a handful of good bootlegs (regardless of source)- than a plethora of poorly sounding recordings. I goes without saying that I would like to see a few good bootlegs surface either during or after the tour - and that there are enough copies for all of us!

Justice wrote: Media Player 9 is available for Mac; I'd be extremely surprised if it's not compatible with the DRM - link. Download it and try using one of the 30 second clips. Don't get me wrong, I'm an XP user but still would've prefered iTunes to be used too. It owns Media Player with one hand behind it's back. You can still use them on the iPod, just burn them and rerip them.

Justice wrote: They're 99p right? Where I live that comes out as $2.60 a track. Assuming you can fit on 15 tracks on the CD (but given the songs lengths it'll likely be less), that comes out at $39 exact for a full CD of material. Now, depending on where you go you can get a new single disc release CD for $29 - $35, most of which barely break the 45 minute mark it seems these days. Add less than $1 for a CDR (you don't have to get the official CDR), and you've got a passable deal in my opinion.

Some bootleggers have really great equipment: new generation minidisc recorder+omnidirectional stereo microphones: they record it the way you hear it. + battery packs. Costs you 500 dollar and gives you at least VG+ recordings. Most of them are even EX. U2 and R.E.M. bootlegs i've heared which are recorded with this equipment are very very enjoyable to hear.
