[MUSIC] Boom Crash Opera - Five Albums In FLAC (1987-2013) | Megalinks MegaDB [MUSIC] Boom Crash Opera - Five Albums In FLAC (1987-2013)

Since 1985, the progressive pop-rock band Boom Crash Opera | Megalinks MegaDB Boom Crash Opera have been regular visitors to the Australian charts with their bluesy, guitar driven style and hits like Great Wall, Onion Skin, The Best Thing, Dancing In The Storm and Get Out Of The House.

All tracks ripped by me direct from the compact discs I purchased from a retail store, using dbPowerAmp Reference CD Ripper. Each track was ripped individually as a 24bit 96kHz stereo .wav. ID3v1/ID3v2 tags were added. The tracks were then converted to 24bit 96kHz stereo .FLAC with Foobar2000 and uploaded. I know they're big files, but you will not find cleaner and more pristine copies of these tracks anywhere on the net, so unless you buy the albums yourself and rip them onto your computer in the same way I did...

You can grab as many of the individual tracks you want from each album, swap out ????.?? for mega.nz:

I get an error whenever I try to extract any of them.

Each file is a FLAC audio file, not a RAR or ZIP archive. Use Foobar2000 or VLC media player to play the song you have chosen to download.

That's wierd, as I definitely ended up with zip files in my downloads folder after downloading these. Ther are even named according to these.

If you land in the folders linked above, there are FLAC files sitting there. If you then decide to download them all in one go as a single ZIP archive, which Mega will often let you do, 7ZIP will open that single file and spit out a heap of FLAC files. Honestly, if you're so stupid that you can't work out how to open a ZIP file, or play a FLAC file on a Windows PC, then you're best off throwing whatever device you're using into the dumpster closest to you. Now, please stop trying to tell me, a guy who's been a club DJ and electronic music creator for over 30 years, that I don't know what I have uploaded. Trust me, they are the best quality copies you will find anywhere online of those tunes.

I know how to open and extract a damn archive... But Windows literally gives me "Windows cannot open the folder" "[path]\THACTFLAC.zip is invalid", and when I tried extracting with 7zip, it says "unexpected end of data."

So don't just assume I am stupid, and don't know how to extract shit.

When I followed those links, I just hit the big "download as zip" button at the top, not realising I could alternatively download each file separately. It seemed more convenient at the time to do all at once anyway.

So YOU are wrong. 7zip did not just "spit out a bunch of flac files" It spat out an error instead.

And try to quote me where I implied that you don't know what you uploaded. I'll wait.

Mate, I know what I uploaded - a heap of FLAC files. I ripped them myself, renamed them all then uploaded them direct. Odd thing how each file has been downloaded over a hundred times, yet YOU are the ONLY PERSON having dramas. When you download the file "Boom Crash Opera - Onion Skin.flac", you do realise that you are supposed to PLAY the file with VLC or Foobar?

[-] TheOriginalDJShotty | 1 points | Aug 18 2017 07:38:30

I just checked the files YET AGAIN. If you follow the links provided above, select all files in the folder - that is, each individual song you want - then right-click and Download as ZIP, the two Windows programs 7ZIP and WinRAR will extract the contents to wherever you like once the full archive lands on your computer. You will then have audio files which are in FLAC format, playable using either VideoLAN VLC Media Player or Foobar2000. If that doesn't work for you, then the issue is with YOUR computer, because as I said in my last post reply, the files have all been downloaded by over 100 different people around the world, and YOU are the ONLY PERSON having dramas.

Yeah I know how to play .flac files, and they actually play just fine when downloaded individually.

[-] NuttaPillar | 1 points | Aug 18 2017 13:15:19

For some reason, using the download zip button just under the logout button, just gives me a dodgy zip file. And since I've hardly used this mega.nz site beofre, I didn't realise I could highlight them all and right click, and download as a zip that way. I thought I was gonna have to download each song individually, which would have been a pain in the ass.

[-] NuttaPillar | 1 points | Aug 18 2017 13:39:22

alright, it worked fine when I downloaded via highlighting them, Thanks.

[-] TheOriginalDJShotty | 1 points | Aug 19 2017 09:40:27

Good to hear. Trust me, they're ripped completely uncompressed as 24bit 96kHz WAV files from the original compact disc, with dbPowerAmp Reference CD Ripper. Then, I used Foobar2000 to convert them all to 24bit 96kHz FLAC, which is as close to a perfect digital copy of the songs as you're ever going to get, short of actually imaging the CD as an ISO.

[-] NuttaPillar | 1 points | Aug 20 2017 14:36:10

Yeah, I believe you that they are lossless. Anyway, thanks a lot for providing these. A lot of this older Aussie rock can be difficult to find at all, let alone in a lossless format.

[-] TheOriginalDJShotty | 1 points | Aug 22 2017 13:42:41

I bought the CDs because I couln't find quality rips anywhere, and I've got no problem in sharing back to others now my upstream speed is decent.
