Thanks for keeping me posted. As long as I know it has a purpose I'll
keep it open, that's no problem.

> So far I've managed to grab what I need from 1993, 1994& 2002 plus the show I accidentally recorded over from 2004.

Good!

> As you point out, your connection is hit& miss at times. Not a complaint, just saying it may take a while until I've grabbed the bits I'm after that look as though they may be from a better quality source that what's available for download on this group.

Yeah sorry about that, I admit it was lazy of me to just open a share.
It's just so darn easy and convenient.
In addition to being a workstation turned off and on at random
intervals, when I fire up a torrent client I'm afraid I consume what
little there is of spare bandwidth. So embrace yourself, this will be a
sloow ride ;)

Regarding the better quality sources, thats quite interesting. Before I
found the Mekka'o'Dean I hunted for JAM episodes on various torrent
sites, and found one rather large collection. It was in a terrible state
though, mostly missing tags or even with filenames that made no sense
for any carbon based lifeform whatsoever.
But the sources were different than those found here, yes. And that's
when it became interesting. Because that other collection had a large
share of incomplete recordings, recordings that are found complete in
this group. However, the pieces that were there was quite often of
noticeably better audio quality.

So, I'v done the obvious: Spliced them. Used the lesser sounding version
to fill the gaps. They are easily recognisable, typically they start off
sounding bad but then at a given point fades into better sound.

Other low quality files that happened to be in stereo quite a quality
improvement were gained simply by merging the two channels, ie turning
them into mono.

But there are also shows where all I've done is to slightly adjust the
speed cause it was so annoyingly wrong, often way too fast. So don't
expect too much from all the files.

Funny though, how this topic now almost seamlessy merges into the other
thread, about sound restoration. :)
