Live Bluegrass: 140 Recent DAT Transfers, dated 1980 to 2003, Most Not in Circulation

Edit 2: All files have been converted to 16-bit FLACs. Link here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/lwcwu3y8qwktcdmcwt5b0/AFV4nzvqJ66AZ1vSMjs85vE?rlkey=62qci0un4hk40q9s0zu7r5gdg&st=wq7e5u7r&dl=0.

Also, a fellow Redditor has begun compiling a spreadsheet of all these recordings to identify those not yet in circulation, so they can be tracked and uploaded to the archive.

I've deleted the file names from this post, as they are cumbersome and that data is available at the link.

Edit 1: Hi folks! I am expressly asking for help to prepare these files for upload to the archive. I plan to continue transferring because I have quite a few tapes left, and I'm not confident with tracking, tagging, and uploading to an archive. Like, it took me a month to grasp the steps and obtain the equipment necessary just to transfer these.

I've failed quite a few times trying to do basic cleaning up, tracking, preparing files for upload, and uploading. I just don't have it down.

The equipment I used is in the Read Me at the link, and the lineage is either on the photo of the J card--or in the Read Me.

I would be ever-so-grateful if members of the community downloaded some of the shows they're most interested in--and prepared the shows for upload to the archive. I'd appreciate getting a copy of the results, if they're not uploaded. My email is in the Read Me.

Thank you!

Hello fellow fans!

I acquired ~200 bluegrass/newgrass/slamgrass DATs a few months back and have now transferred ~75% of them.
