Hey Chad, thanks for the great work that you do in organizing all this stuff. Thanks also for the credit.

A couple of notes:

• I got the extreme version of the Raleigh rip and it is better than mine. I recommend to replace the link with the extreme one, which I posted also here:

Source is different (they used HLS protocol) and also software used for ripping is different.
I compared to the rip I made the other day, and this one is (1000?) better: they did a great job considering the overall quality of the source, which was far from the best Sirius stream we had in the last months.
An explanation from me is that a live stream has no postprocessing at all, so we get quite a raw audio from Sirius. The last ones instead were old SBDs that has some mixing work before airing.

So I recommend to get rid of the other one and get this one, which is more balanced and rich of middles.
• There is a new taper source for Charlotte by Mike Peters on DT. I am checking this one, because the other one by Zachary Semcken was quite weak.

• in the best of Charlotte I recommend also to include the Seek Up opening, which was quite memorable (for me).
