Comments:
This is a very interesting idea, create a CD rom with every U2 show ever played in Spain. There are 2 howevers, first that he MP3's which should be the easiest to convert back to wave format have that very crappy blurry undertone, courtesy of bad MP3 encoding practise, while the shows that do sound reasonable are on RealAudio format. The hardest to convert to waveformat and not of CD audio format (44,100 hrz, 16 bit stereo). At best they are 8 bit stereo. There are programs which can fix that (RA2wave), but it still will sound RealAudio-ish. Still, it will give you a rare glimpse of some ultra rare shows.
