musicmusicmusic Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have seen older DCI CDs on ebay as "Collector's Series" box sets. I went on the DCI website and can't find any way to purchase older DCI cds of complete shows prior to 1997. What is DCI's logic in not making them available. The downloads won't work on my ipod. I wait for enlightenment........... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a freeware product out there to do such a thing. Try this, maybe: http://www.wma-mp3.org/ iTunes can also do it, instructions are here: http://www.jakeludington.com/ask_jake/2005...wma_to_mp3.html Unless DCI's process is wonky, one of these solutions ought to work.

tommytimp Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Or perhaps DCI wants to pretend that drum corps didn't exist before 2001. Or if it did, it should be remembered as "nostalgia." SNIFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNIFF The Legacy DVDs blow a hole through that theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipod-friendly is the way to go anymore, ya know? Anyhow, the logic was that they'd be made available online, letting users pick what they wanted instead of having to get 5 years at a time.

kevingamin Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 What version of iTunes are you using? You SHOULD be able to drag the .wma files from DCI onto iTunes, which will then convert them to .mp3 or AAC format, depending on which format you've set iTunes to rip tracks as. You'll then be able to play them on your iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I downloaded Star of Indiana and was not able to open with ITunes I emailed the DCI tech and was told the downloads were not compatible with itunes.

When I downloaded Star of Indiana and was not able to open with ITunes I emailed the DCI tech and was told the downloads were not compatible with itunes. I just downloaded some APDs a few days ago and iTunes immediately converted them without a problem. I might have iTunes 7 (can't remember for sure) so try getting the latest version - that will probably fix your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Don-O Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I also have been buying APDs this year and my iTunes converts them automatically. I just drag them from the desktop to the playlist I want them in and it does the rest. No idea which version I'm running. Sound quality on them is very very good btw.
