“No Spoilers” Download Series

 

Summer 2010 - No Spoilers - Jasper, Alberta

NYE Run 2011

Hey all – just to set expectations, we will *always* post No Spoilers shows – the only question is how long it takes.  Back in the day, we used to stay up most of the night to try get them up ASAP.  Nowadays we take a slightly more sane approach – i.e. wake up the next morning, grab the first source that’s upped to etree, combine, convert, upload, post links.  So they *usually* go up by about Noon MST – sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but it depends on when the first source goes up (and on real life).

Any questions or problems, contact us: nospoilers@phishthoughts.com

Thanks – enjoy!

No Spoilers 3.0

Summer 2011 is ready to go, and we’ve made some changes.

No Spoilers will now be available as a podcast. This will let iTunes (and other programs) automagically download the latest show soon after it’s available.

Old school regular downloads (either Megaupload or straight http download) will still be available.

Any news will still be posted here.

This isn’t an official Apple Podcast that you can get in the store (yet – we’ll get around to that eventually) so for now you have to subscribe manually.

The only minor downside to podcasts is iTunes treats them a little differently than regular music. One nice touch though is that podcasts automatically remember playback position so if you skip away, when you come back it will remember where you left off (although you can set this manually on regular MP3s – nice tip Greg B!)

Using iTunes:

1. Open iTunes, then click on Podcasts on the left.

2. From the top menu, choose Advanced, then click on “Subscribe to Podcast…”, type phishthoughts.com/nsrss.xml and click OK.

3. As soon as you do this, you’ll probably see a spinning orange wheel and it’ll start downloading the most recent show (which is currently 2011-01-01 Set I). You can cancel the download by clicking the x or let it finish downloading to test it out.

4. From the Podcast screen, click on “Phish Thoughts No Spoilers”, then click on “Settings…” at the bottom

-Under “Check for new episodes” choose whatever you prefer (“Manually,” “Every hour,” or “Every day”)

-Uncheck “Use Default Settings” and then for “When new episodes are available” choose “Download all” (this way it will grab both sets).

-Click on OK.

5. That’s it!  From now on (if you leave iTunes running) it’ll check to see if a new show has been uploaded and if so, download it.

 

Using your iPhone/iTouch/iPad and Wifi (i.e. no wired iTunes sync required – this will download the show over the air – I’d suggest you use wifi unless you have unlimited data)

-Go to reader.google.com

-Sign in with your Google account (or Create an account if you don’t have one)

-Click on “Add a Subscription”, enter phishthoughts.com/nsrss.xml and click on Add

-Download the free “Mobile RSS Free” app on your iWhatever

-Configure Mobile RSS to use your Google Reader account

(Thanks to Matt for the idea!)

 

Android:

-Download Google Listen for Android ( http://listen.googlelabs.com/ )

-Point it to phishthoughts.com/nsrss.xml

(Thanks to Ned L!)

All past No Spoilers shows are available through the podcast or here: http://phishthoughts.com/nsrss.html

Fall Tour 2010

Hey – we’re looking for some feedback:

-One change we’re *considering* is just offering one mp3 of the whole show (i.e. don’t split into set1 and set2+e files). What do you think – would this be better/worse/the same?

-How is the MP3 tagging working for you? (i.e. currently the title is “date – venue, city, state”, artist, year, and album is blank)?  Do you leave this as-is or do you change it each time (and mutter under your breath at us)?  How would you improve it?

Email nospoilers@phishthoughts.com.  We’re also working on some other improvements – if you’re interested in helping us do some testing, let us know.

See you for New Year’s run!

Note about the Greek shows.  The entire no spoilers crew will be in the mountains this weekend, so:

-Thursday’s show should be up at the “regular time” on Friday.

-The Friday and Saturday  shows might not be up until later in the day on Saturday and Sunday.  Worst case scenario if wireless is *really* bad is that the Friday and Saturday shows wouldn’t be up until Sunday night, but it shouldn’t come to that.

We’ll do our best, but will be in the middle of the Rockies…

Looks like our upload location is 3 or 4 hours from Deer Creek, so it probably won’t be up until breakfast or so tomorrow. Wakey wakey eggs and bakey! Have a good weekend folks.

4:04AM EST: Bad news. We just went from “no idea when our source will go up” to “we don’t have a source we can use”. So we’ll grab the first AUD source that goes up anywhere tomorrow and then convert and upload that, but that could be Monday afternoon for all we know… Sorry folks.

No update regarding time for tonight, but somebody pointed out that the 6/12 Bonnaroo mp3 is a little wonky – all the show is in there but the mp3 header is a little weird so certain players may have had a problem. If you ever notice a problem with one of the shows, please feel free to let us know – we don’t always get to listen to them until later and can only do rudimentary quality control the night of.

Same plan as last night (only with less chaos at the start). But that still means it might go up many hours after the show ends (i.e. closer to breakfast). If it solidifies, we’ll try let you know.

Big thanks tonight to:
Todd Fleisher: Source (Beyerdynamic MC930 > Edirol R4 (Busman W-mod) @ 24/48), Transfer (Edirol R4 > Sound Studio Pro (merged individual files) > xAct (lossy conversion to VBR MP3 4th notch from the left)), and early morning upload!

Ian Stone: Getting us in touch with the aforementioned Todd Fleisher.

Dustin (aka caymanreview): Also generously offering to help if we could only have gotten to him in the chaos.

6/12/09 Update

Update 12:08EST: Ok, made contact with one of our friendly tapers (thanks Todd!), so now at least we have a chance. Now we have to :
a) see if our man on the ground can hook up with him in the middle of the donkey show and
b) figure out if/when we can upload after the show

So to echo the comment below, no idea at all when the show might be going up, but it could be a long time (to be clear, a long time could mean noon tomorrow for all we know…time will tell).

Update 10:48EST: Ok, in the chaos that is Bonnaroo, we might not be able to get our source, so if you know of a taper (especially one staying near the Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro) please email nospoilers@phishthoughts.com with contact information – otherwise it’ll be who knows when tomorrow…sorry folks.

Bonnaroo! No. Idea. But could be interesting in terms of logistics for transportation/uploading/etc., so please don’t plan your night (morning?) around it as it could be quite a while. If things solidify, we’ll update here.

Update 02:11am – Combo of Marriot and sendspace trainwreck. Working on it, but if you were staying up waiting, it might be another hour or so…apologies folks.

Update 01:00am – Show ended a bit later than usual this evening. Both shows have been converted from WAV to v0 MP3 and are currently being uploaded via SendSpace. Marriott upload speed is locked in at around 35k/sec so we are looking at about 50 more minutes for the first set. I’ll keep you posted. – AlexanderK

Still working on a solid plan for tonight due to some logistical issues. Will try keep you posted!

-Alexander King – for driving around town all night, troubleshooting internet problems, then finally finding a connection to seed the torrents at 3AM.

Update at 2:09am EDT. The torrent is on hold while our uploader tries to find a more reliable connection (and somewhere to crash). If you know of a source that’s gone up somewhere else, email us at nospoilers@phishthoughts.com

Update at 1:20am EDT. Ok, cancel the helicopter order – but if someone can loan us a modem faster than this 2400 baud one, that would help. But seriously, apologies for the upload speed folks – despite testing ahead of time, it’s struggling now. If you can possibly help with high(er) speed Internet after the next shows, please email us!

1. Update at 12:10am EDT. The recording is in traffic. If you have a spare helicopter or teleporter available please let us know, otherwise it will be about 1:15am before the upload starts.

2. Subscribing to No Spoilers torrents

We’ve added a quick how-to subscribe to No Spoilers torrents to the Torrent Tutorial page. Click here to check it out.

This lets you “subscribe” to No Spoilers torrents. This makes uTorrent automagically starrt downloading the torrents soon after they’re posted. You can wake up to the smell and sounds of fresh Phish each morning!

And better yet, no more frantically hitting F5 on the No Spoilers page. Instead, you can frantically check your torrent program to see if it’s started downloading yet.

Props to Matt Gagne and John Robertson for emailing this idea.

5/31/09 No Spoilers Update

1. Our initial *estimate* for having the Fenway Set 1 torrent ready for download (i.e. 100% seeded) is 12:30am Boston time (EDT). The torrent won’t actually go up until about 12:15am but then should seed very quickly at that point.

2. We will be posting SendSpace links on a best effort basis. The SendSpace links will be going up quite a bit LATER than the torrents. This is because we need to upload to SendSpace once the torrent is done, which can add quite a bit of extra time.
—-

“No Spoilers” is a free project that offers decent quality MP3 downloads of every Phish concert as soon as possible after the show ends. We only post two generic files: Set1 & Set2+E. There is no identifying information whatsoever and they’re hosted on this safe “spoiler free”page. (http://phishthoughts.com/nospoilers)

In addition to offering torrents, we will also be uploading sendspace links as well on a best-effort basis – although they may take a while longer.

If you can’t be at the shows, and you’re patient enough to stay off the grid, we think this is the next best thing to being there and the way to listen to the shows!

We did this for the Hampton reunion and it went pretty well. Click here to read some feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How long does it take you to get the shows up?
It depends on quite a few variables – some beyond our control. But we try get them up as fast as possible. If things go *really* well, Set 1 should be up within an hour of the show ending. Sometimes, things don’t go really well though.

2. Didn’t LivePhish kind of mow your lawn at Hampton with their free MP3 downloads being up so fast after the shows ended?
Not at all – we love LivePhish and like to think we raised the bar and they hustled to keep up. ;) But we are mainly focused on the “No Spoilers” angle – getting the shows up fast was secondary. LivePhish is great and if you’re careful, you can even avoid seeing most important info (we’ll even show you how someday if we ever get around to it).

What a lot of people did for Hampton was start listening to No Spoilers downloads. Later, when the LP MP3s became available, they started downloading them and then switched over to the LP versions. This mainly worked for people that weren’t as concerned with the “No Spoilers” angle. This time around, LP are getting them up *fast*.

3. Can you post an ETA of when the shows will be up?
This was one thing we wish we would have thought to do for the Hampton shows, and is something we’re going to try do this time around.

4. Couldn’t post titles and/or comments on the right side bar be spoilers?
Nope – we’re careful – don’t worry!

5. Doesn’t your website crater with people hitting F5 after the show?
It’s hosted by mediatemple.com, so it should be able to handle the load.

6. Doesn’t the download link crater with everyone grabbing the show right away?
The files are hosted by torrent, so the more people that hop on, the faster it goes.

7. Do you just offer torrents? Didn’t you offer straight downloads before?
For Hampton, we did both through Amazon S3. This cost us an arm and a leg in bandwidth costs for the regular downloads, though. We can’t (and don’t want to) charge for downloads, so unless you’re independently wealthy and want to foot the bill (or work at the billing department at Amazon S3), we will focus on torrents. We are also trying to upload sendspace links after the torrents are up for those that can’t do torrents.

8. Will someone beat you to the punch and upload it somewhere else first?
Perhaps. That’s ok – again, we are mainly focusing on the “No Spoilers” angle. If someone else can get a show up faster, more power to them (and, in fact, we’d even point to it). We are, however, respecting Phish’s wishes and not offering the show for download until the show is over.

9. Why not live stream the show?
We checked with the band and this not permitted. Streams can also be a bit flaky at times.

10. Why not upload the first set at setbreak?
We actually checked with the band and they have asked tapers to wait until the encore is over before making the show available. What we may try for shows where have the right technology available is *start* uploading Set 1 at setbreak and “hit pause” at 99% so that as soon as the show is over, we can release the hounds.

11. If Phish does a simulcast or an official stream of some sort, this will sort of be a moot point, no?
Absolutely. And obviously that would be ideal – and fine with us! We are just doing this as a Plan B for everyone.

12. What’s the source going to be?
The source varies from night to night depending on the friendly taper helping out. We like high quality shows as much as the next person, and so far our tapers/sources have been phenomenal – but we generally focus on getting them up quickly.

13. You know MP3 is evil, right?
Actually, we’d call it a *necessary* evil. Don’t get us wrong – we love listening to FLACs and are happy to refer people to them. We are just trying to be practical and share the music conveniently and quickly. We want to get these uploaded and downloaded as quickly as possible, and don’t want people to have to worry about transcoding, finding FLAC plugins, etc.

We see these as “one and done” throwaways. You’d listen to them once for the effect, but then grab “proper” (i.e. tracked, named, tagged) versions later (either official SBDs from LivePhish.com, or AUDs from here or elsewhere) for ongoing listening enjoyment.

14. Will you post regular downloads with track breaks and labeling later? — Absolutely! “Regular” shows (i.e. tracked, named,tagged, setlist) will be available ASAP on Phish Thoughts’ home page.

15. Why are you doing this?
a.) It’s part of Phish Thoughts’ detailed plan for total world domination.
b.) We are lucky enough to be going to the shows, so we thought we’d try repay our karmic debt.
c.) Because if we weren’t going to the shows, this is how we’d want to be listening to them ourselves.

16. I think this is a cool idea – how can I contribute?
Stay tuned – we’ll let you know how you can help. If you mean donate money, we’d suggest either:

The Mockingbird Foundation (a portion of the money Phish makes from LivePhish.com downloads actually goes to The Mockingbird Foundation.)

or

The WaterWheel Foundation

17. Aren’t the tapers doing all the work and you’re just taking all the credit?
We’re not trying to do that at all – without them, we know this doesn’t happen. We’ve always tried to give tapers appropriate credit and will try do a better job moving forward.

18. Is Phish ok with you doing this?

Yes they are. These downloads, as all downloads on Phish Thoughts, comply with Phish’s taping policy as outlined here: http://www.phish.com/guidelines/index.php?category=6

19. You know you guys are a little OCD, right?
Says the guy reading Question #19 of the No Spoilers FAQ? But yeah, you may have a point.
