This person is without a doubt a great human being for he/she has reaffirmed my love Prince music evermore so than even the "Southbeach Glam Slam" performances did back in the middle 1990's.


How? U say.

By giving me the knowledge of how to get the audio off the Aladin DVD and burn it to CD so as I could listen to it in my car. Let's just say that if u are able to do this as well (listen to in your car) u will fall in love it and anything else within a 100 mile radius (except another dude, or that f-ckin Mitsubishi Lancer. what a ugly ass car.)

I took this CD with me on my way to Ocean City, MD this weekend and althugh it is a 3 hr drive I listened to it the who way there, the whole way. Prince music is...NO WORDS, NO WORDS.

Any way you could possibly explain this to me? I'm trying to do the same thing myself but can't really figure out how. Is it kinda complicated or am I missing something?

yeah - do share the knowledge.

I think Imas said it all: "NO WORDS, NO WORDS......

from the man himself:

well . . . I'm sure there might be a few ways to do it, but I did it rather quickly by following some of the instructions found here http://www.dvdripguides.com/

click the menu selection on the left for dvd rip guides . . and then choose one of the ripping formats - I choose rip to mpeg2 svcd. It doesn't really matter since you don't have to go through the entire process to get the audio. First you will use smartripper to rip the VOB files off the dvd. I did this a chapter at a time to capture each song individually, but you can rip the entire concert at once if that is your desire. Then you will use dvd2avi, which takes the VOB file and splits it up into audio and video segments. The audio will be in wave format - which you can reformat to mp3 using programs like musicmatch jukebox, or you can just leave it like it is (if you have the room). The smartripper/dvd2avi process takes about four minutes per song. Its really quick . . in fact, you'll probably spend more time reading the instructions through the first time than you will ripping the rest of the dvd. good luck . . its really easy and will add a new dynamic to your live dvd's.

Thanks! The site is really slow on letting me download the software right now, I guess I'll go back later at a less busier time... Eventually, I'll probably just add most of these tracks to my ONA boxset CDs. I'll make that above average CD set almost perfect!

Imas . . . glad everything worked out for you. I feel you - its been jamming in my car since I ripped it. Shoot, car rides don't seem long enough anymore.

I did it on my stand alone CD burner.It sounds f*ckin incredible!
