80's people in here! Does anyone have these songs...? - Page 5

Darrin · 25-04-2008, 15:51

Heh, I will warn you that most of my collection is 80's "hair" rock. Poison, AC/DC, Whitesnake, Skid Row, G&R, etc. But there is some of the 80's Pop in there as well. Pat Benetar, Roxette, Loverboy, Men in Hats, Men at Work, etc.

I'd have to drop it on 2 DVD's as there's over 8GB in there. And that doesn't include my death metal collection, the opera, classical, or "easy listening" stuff like Roger Whittaker. I'll see what I can do about getting it started burning, then get postal info from you when it's ready to go.

All I ask in return is that you "spread the wealth". A lot of what I have is no longer available in non-digital format. 12" singles, radio-only versions, etc. So download from multiple sources is the only availability. Just as an instance I have 3 or 4 different versions of Peter Schilling's Major Tom (Coming Home) and two or three versions of Haddaway's What Is Love (neither one the movie version either).

I have about three versions of Stars on 45.

Not sure how to send em though.

I have about 20 albums here ready to burn to a DVD
it may duplicate a few things you have/get, but better have more than less

PM me an address to post the DVD to

OK - I have a slight problem. I discovered that there were some audio drop-outs and other errors in the rips I've already done (100 and counting). No point doing high quality encoding if the source is broken. Currently investigating the cause but I'll need to fix the rips I've already done as they're my holiday collection. :/

Luckily the bit that takes the most time - tagging all the files - is stored seperately so I can just schlep CDs in and hit 'rip'. Still a weekend of re-ripping I could have done without.

I just discovered a folder on my computer called "1000 Hits of the 80s" and it does indeed have 1000 cheesetastic songs on there. DVD sized as well so I can pop it in the post for you if you want Dee?

Dee · 27-04-2008, 14:23

Yes purleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!!

Stan_Lite · 28-04-2008, 04:39

I've had a rummage and I've collected 5.7GB of stuff. A lot of it is on "Best of" type albums so some of it isn't technically 80s but all from 80s bands or artists.

I'll bung it on disks and post it when I get back to Blighty.

If everybody sends you all their music, it's gonna take aaaaaaages to sort out all the duplicate stuff

Mark · 12-05-2008, 20:06

Just to let you know I haven't forgotten. I'm back home from holidays. If you're not drowning in stuff I'll be ripping the rest of my CDs over the next two weeks (takes ages).

No problem, thanks Mark

Was about to update this thread soon anyways
