Old thread. Probably refers to this, now at 303,000+ 78rpms.

Is anything supposed to happen when you click on an item? It takes you to an item which says it is playing but there's nothing to suggest it is playing :neutral:

They play for me Jules. Perhaps they take a little longer to load for you?

Which browser do you use? A lot of sites don't play nicely with Internet Explorer and Edge.

Sure wish I still had all of my 78's to eventually add to it!

Thanks - tracks on 78rpm Records Digitized by George Blood, L.P. are playing for me today (Chrome)
Not sure how you're supposed to search for records: searching on the artist name seems to work, but searching on a title takes you anywhere except 78 tracks
Autumn Leaves :sad:

Can anyone else contribute 78 rips, or is it only George Blood?

Ah yes, there have been many contributors, most having made between 1,000 and ¼ million uploads

Jules - You need to use advanced search so using:
title: autumn leaves
collection: 78rpm
mediatype:audio

... returns almost 60 recordings

And, how do you DL just the one track you want? I'm doing one right now but it's giving me ALL 9 VERSIONS instead of just the one I want.

Its all a bit variable depending on what you've picked. Point us to where you are having problems.

I'm trying to get the 6th recording in the list but, when I click on what SHOULD be the DL button on that track, all it does is open another page where it plays it! So, at the top of the menu where it says, "Back" on the left, on the right it has another DL button and, when I click that, I get all 9 versions instead of just the one I wanted.
I've found a way to get the FLAC folder open but none of the files will convert when I put them in the converter! I get an error message and then the converter goes away.

Sounds like you want an mp3 since you mention conversion of FLAC files?

For that, on the page you linked, scroll down until Download Options appears on the right. Click on VBR MP3 at the end of the list. This gives you a list of all the mp3 files.

Your browser may be slightly different, but in firefox I just right click on the file I want and select Save Link As ...

WAV's would be better and I've picked up LOTS of WAV's via FLAC the past few years. Otherwise, I would've just chose the MP3 option near the bottom of the menu.
I've been using Firefox ever since I got back online 7 months ago.
Well, that gets me the MP3 version but, how do I get the FLAC version? I did it the same way and, after the DL, I still can't get FLAC to convert it.

I was able to convert the FLAC files to ALAC using the DBPowerAmp Converter.

I downloaded the single FLAC file the same way - go to DOWNLOAD OPTIONS and left click on 24BIT FLAC. Then right click on the required file and select Save Link As ... This file played without problems in my audio player. Maybe there is a problem with the convertor you are using?

It's one of two of the same FLAC frontend converter I've been using for the past 5 or 10 years. as far as I know (it worked like this a couple weeks ago), I just drag the file over to the converter, click on Decode and it'll be done in a few seconds but, it's just not doing that.
