U2 Complete Studio Album [11 discs in Flac format, EAC with Accu

This is the complete collection of U2's 11 studio albums, from 1980 to 2004. This is the best known kind of audiorip: EAC secure rip with test and accurate rip match, in a single FLAC file with cuesheet, log and artwork embedded. You can use Foobar2000 to open the file reading each single track, and also to convert it in single files in wav or other formats. You can also read the log file, which show the rip is done with the most possible quality. If you convert it in wav with cuesheet, you can burn it with EAC and have the PERFECT copy of the original CD (also with pregaps within tracks). Anyway, this is the best way to archive audio cds, so I hope you will keep them seeding for a while. They're all original CDs. I will release remastered version later if this will be well seeded (Boy, October, War and Joshua Tree, all with bonus discs). I have low bandwidth (10-15 kb/s), thanks to my provider's p2p filters... so be patient. Here the album list: 1980 - Boy 1981 - October 1983 - War 1984 - The Unforgettable Fire 1987 - The Joshua Tree 1988 - Rattle And Hum 1991 - Achtung Baby 1993 - Zooropa 1997 - Pop 2000 - All That You Can't Leave Behind 2004 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb I hope you enjoy, help seeding... and consider to make high quality flac release as in this guides (sorry for the heavy png format): EAC settings:border="0" alt="Image Hosted by mp3tag settings:border="0" alt="Imageborder="0"> final proper release:border="0" alt="Imageborder="0"> finally, here an example of an EAC log: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Exact Audio Copy V0.99 prebeta 4 from 23.

great upload, if the rips are as you say they are, but we will need the log and cue files to use these to their full potential . . .
Could you reupload to include the other files?

sgrigua (2008-07-24)

I have upload all logs in a zip file here:

I hope this can help to see the quality before to download!
But... what about the cuesheet? It's embedded in the flac, you can extract with foobar2000 or mp3tag!

Decoding with Macintosh, Mac OS X
X Lossless Decoder
X Lossless Decoder (XLD) is a tool for Mac OS X that is able to decode/convert/play various 'lossless' audio files.
The supported audio files can be split into some tracks with cue sheet when decoding.
XLD supports the following formats:
(Ogg) FLAC (.flac/.ogg)
Monkey's Audio (.ape)
Wavpack (.wv)
TTA (.tta)
Apple Lossless (.m4a) [10.4 only]
AIFF, WAV, etc
Currently you can choose output format from WAVE,AIFF and Raw PCM. In addition, you can choose Ogg Vorbis (aoTuV), MPEG-4 AAC (QuickTime/CoreAudio), MP3 (LAME), Apple Lossless and FLAC in the GUI version.

Thanks for posting the log files! It is nice to see the results of a good rip.

Is this dead?

matthew473 (2008-08-08)

If not dead, then at least stalled--it has been stuck at 39% for a while.
sgrigua, would you be willing to trash this torrent and up each album separately. It seems you were so careful to do a proper rip--it would be a shame for the sheer size of this one to cause its death.
Especially, if you have a slow upload or you cannot seed consistently, you should post smaller torrents, i.e. one album at time.
Best regards, and thanks again for the share.

hello everyone
sorry for the stop, I was on holyday and couldn't leave the pc on... now I'm back and all day online. I thought that would be better to make a big torrent and that anyone can select on the torrent client wich ones download...
Anyway, I will be online everyday from now until september with a 15 kb/s bandwidth, and from september I will move on an other hi speed connection (200-300 kb/s in upload), so be patient that I will not leave this torrent!

Scoot3r (2008-08-19)

stuck at 60% :(

sgrigua (2008-08-19)

As I said, be patient... I'm always here with my slow 15 kb/s until september...
If you don't want all the albums, choose which ones to download, for example in utorrent, at the bottom, in the tab "files" and right click "don't download this file"

CUE sheets are embedded in the flac files here.
I've exported it here:

Thanks guys!

11 Flac Files...No folders, log files show no tracks and score 0/100 on the log checker, not to mention they don't even have the right file extension and had to be downloaded separately.
I don't get how 11 Albums = 11 Flac Files...and where the hell are the cue files.

tomca (2009-10-27)

sgrigua please upload the 2009 super deluxe edition of The Unforgettable Fire (2 CDs in the image+cue format) and the uncompressed DVD!!!! Thanks in advance!
