Darkwater from Sweden. "Progressive metal" apparently. A bit of old and new mixed in together here but seems to work so far, still listening... I don't know why Chris but they remind me of Porcupine tree, a band I do like  |

Hi Alan
Have you also tried the acoustic stuff from Bridgit Mendler ?
There are several of her songs in youtube that you can save to your PC to enjoy later, using "ss" between "www." and the "y" of youtube, without a space inserted.
Enter the amended URL and DL at your selected resolution. Even better is to use the safe Windows freeware "Freemake Video Downloader." You simply paste the URL into it.
It works on many other music sites other than just youtube, and is many times faster with it's DLs.It can DL the whole clip before you have even completed listening to it.
I DL at a little over round 1MB/second typically, using this software.
Kind Regards
Alex

Hi Alex,
that's a great bit of software, I can see I'll have to pump up the Terabytes if I get into vids.
I just extracted the audio for a trial run and am impressed very rapid.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan If you like Bridgit Mendler, you will find the audio from those clips is even better than the clips you posted I DL the better looking and sounding clips to a Corsair Voyager, and simply plug it into the USB port of my TV which can play .MP4 videos directly. From there it goes via a Toslink cable to my DAC and the Class A and speakers. It pisses me off though, that our local TV networks refuse to let us see great U.S.A. shows like SNL (Saturday Night Live) which are broadcast in full 1080 (and I believe may even be 5.1 surround sound too) in full 1080HD even though they have the capability to do so. David Letterman is also in full HD, but IF we get to see it, the local stations broadcast it in SD.  Some of the posted music clips from SNL look stunning , even after conversion to .MP4 for posting on VEVO ( can't DL directly) or Youtube. The Premiere releases on VEVO normally appear on youtube within a day or 2 though.. Kind Regards Alex P.S. Proboards should find a way to ban those "message from a webpage" that BS about you having won something, then freezes the page you are on until you click on the bloody popup. Even if you click to close it, it takes you to their bullshit site, like it or not. |

Hi Chris, Gaby unplugged you'll like this one. Wow Alan, I certainly did like that one - it made the hairs on my arms prick up and thats a crappy youtube video through crappy Pc and pc speakers. She is definitely on my birthday list (and one of her CD's)  I just love her |
