Frequently Asked Questions

Stuff you want to know, but don't

Where can I get a free Real Audio player?
Get one here.

When I play the song it sounds really choppy. How can I fix it?
Stop the file, go to the menu at the top. Go to view, prefs, advanced, and move the CPU level to the far right.

When I try to play a song, it doesn't load and it says that the server is down. How do I listen to the song?
The problem is that the server that particular song is on is down for a while. Bookmark the page and come back in a bit!

Do you guys have lives?
No.

Why are some of the songs on more than one page?
Because they fit under more than one group. When you see the same title twice, look at the size and time. If it's the same, it's the same file. If it's not then it's different.

Can I put a link to Beatles Bootlegs Central on my homepage?
Yes! In fact, use this neat banner:

Get the code here.

Can you put a link to my page on Beatles Bootlegs Central?
No. BBC doesn't do links, but some of our individual pages do. Check there! The only way we will put up a link is if they have contributed to the page in some way. (i.e. sent bootlegs, contributed webspace)
If you have bootlegs and would like to become a partner, go here.

Why Real Audio and not .wav or .mp3
Size. Real Audio may not have the quality of .wav or .mp3, but they are a LOT smaller.

Are you guys gods?
Pretty close.
