Good evening Rob, Katie, local and global citizens of the comment board. Always look forward to the ping pong. Already disappointed I will have to exit early for another engagement.. but that's why we love the archives. Congrats on the cat adoption, Handy!

@radioronan, it's one of mine for sure. It's so melancholic. I might have been at that gig. I saw him sing it there. So amazing. I'm going to try to sneak more Nikki in than usual under different names.

Epic got rightfully got snippy and said "I'm not my brother's keeper.."

Hello hello everyone.

Do folks here load rip the DJ premiums to digital? I'm looking to crowdsource uploading the metadata to open source DBs to help smooth out that process for folks. I pretty much never find existing metadata in MusicBrainz or Gnudb.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated. Thank you!
