Heart: 1978-03-18 Los Angeles, CA (FLAC_SB_1 CD)

This is an excellent soundboard of the Heart show at the Californis Jam II (or Cal Jam II) 36 years ago today.  I got this Kodak Gold CD-R in a trade back around 1998 and dug it out this morning to do an EAC rip of the disc and upload it.  This was Heart's tour on their third LP that had been released, Dog & Butterfly, on the Portrait record label and the girls were in fine form for this show (as they always are).  It's a great concert.

Man, this is starting to tick me off as I rip many of my old days CD-R trade discs.  This one is testing lossy with TLH.  The fact that all tracks indicate the probability of an MPEG stream in the 95% range is is real good indicator this one will be lossy sourced.  I'm starting to realize many traders were not keeping their word back in the early days of CD-R trading by not using mp3 materials.  Any reputable trader would not send a lossy sourced disc to you claiming it's lossless!  I understand many people might not have known the difference since mp3's were fairly new back then.  But don't claim you do if you don't know.  Lossy mp3 audio was a "no-no" amongst most traders and that might explain why I'm having issues with so many of the discs I've been burning with EAC (primarily errors).  Between cheap media (discs) and lossy audio formats, it's a wonder any of these discs are still working (a lot aren't).  I apologize for this because until now I didn't ever realize this disc was lossy.  Otherwise, I'd have never bothered with burning it and uploading it oday!

Once again, Trader's Little Helper, while an excellent program for the many, many features and tools it has, is not very good at analyzing lossiness.  However, with the test results being this strong (see the TLH CDDA Test text file I included), I'd be willing to bet this one came from an MPEG lossy source!  People, please don't ruin your music by converting it to mp3 format unless you keep the lossless format for when you do share and trade it!  You may not realize it now, but one day you'll wish you hadn't depended on mp3 audio (like when you cannot listen to it anymore due to errors).

I hope you enjoy the concert!  Until next time...
