  Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle.

  An iconic album from '76, which fully deserves it's classic status, with choons such as the title track, "Take The Money And Run"

  and "Rock 'n Me".

  If you've never heard it ............... where have you been hiding?

Guardians of the Galaxy - Awesome Mix Vol. 2

Picked this up last weekend on vinyl for £9.99. What a bargain!

StarLord definitely has/had a good ear for a decent tune.

   Wilko Johnson - Live At Koko, Camden Town.

   Re-living last Thurday's brilliant gig at Leeds.

   This one was recorded soon after Wilko received his cancer diagnosis and probable death sentence.

   His reaction? To embark upon a farewell tour ............ what a geezer!

Just finished playing this album twice straight through and its brilliant.Never thought I'd hear another album like this from him.Thanks for the heads up Dave

Hi Alan,

Great as the album is, I was desperate to have available, the "live in the studio" version of "Prodigal Son" which is as funky as a funky

thing can be.

It's viewable over on yon YouTube thingy, or directly on Ry's own website.

Anyway, I've managed to extract the music content from the video file, and it's currently belting out via USB on my NDS.

Happy days. 

Ah I wondered what you were up to when I saw your original post enquiring about the extraction of audio from a video file.That version is definately worth the effort.Pardon my ignorance but are you able to add the file so it plays the same time as the album or does it remain independant?

Alan

I've transferred it to a USB stick, which plugs directly into the front of the streamer, playing the music via it's USB output.

Sounds great!

Thanks Dave ,I was making things more complicated
