Fozzy-
Yes, the voice. I don't know anything about proximity effect other than
to understand you're saying it's the equipment? Plenty of his
contemporaries have long since lost their singing voices, I thought
maybe it was a voice change thing going on. No need for me to split it,
I didn't like it enough to want to keep it, but thanks anyway for
sharing the info you have.

I played it using Foobar. I presume if a program can play a file it
should be able to convert it too? I'm not a technical type, so maybe
that's a dumb assumption. But Foobar has a pretty extensive file
conversion capability, including into FLAC, so give it a try.

can you recommend some suitable software for converting these files
from OggFLAC to FLAC.   Preferably software that is fairly simple to
use.

Are you talking about his voice?  I couldn't possibly say if that's how
Elton likes to sound but I'd hazard a guess the muddiness is due to
proximity effect.

If, like me you  like to split something like this into songs in such a
way that if played in sequence you still get the complete concert I make
the split points as follows:

Part 1

4:42.300
5:35.400
10:31.200
15:36.500

Part 2

6:32.450
11:30.000
18:23.450

I took a quick listen to one of the files, it's a bit too muddy for my
taste. I wonder if that's how he likes himself to sound or if the
equipment was just patched together and that's how it came out.

No, as the files are in OggFLAC format which we don't support.  This is
not "streaming" either, just plain old file downloads.  You can
certainly download them and then convert them to normal FLAC though.

[slim] Elton John concert steaming in FLAC !!!!

2010-11-29 Thread norderney

Absolute Radio here in the UK are making an Elton John concert available
to stream in either MP3 OR FLAC formats. This must be a first for a UK
radio station.

Not sure if it is possible to stream the FLAC feed through my
Transporter? Says something about you will need to innstall VLC
Player.
