hey im kinda new with the whole bittorrent thing, i usually just borrowed a friend's CD of the slip shows, but i was wondering after you download a show, how do you play the songs or what do you need to play Flac files or convert them to Mp3's or whatever?

You can either decode the files to another format to burn to CDR or decode them on the flly to play on your computer. Are you PC or Mac?

On a PC you can use Winamp with the proper plug in to decode on the fly for listening on your PC. Or FLAC frontend to decode to WAV to burn onto CDR or import to iTunes for an iPod. I also hear there is third party firmware now for iPods that allows FLAC playback as well as gapless playback. I haven't looked into that yet. You need to reformat the iPod which will wipe it. So back it up if you plan to try that out. There is other software out there too. Google might help you find it. I think there is stuff that can do FLAC> mp3 in out step.
