Steve,

I also have a preference for 320kbps.  I've already downloaded the 25-1 flac file and converted to mp3.  So you can have a life tomorrow, you can find it here

Thanks Roger for the first part: however, I wonder if anybody went
through the pain that I did.

Step 1: Downloaded flac files (Rapidshare, 15 minute break between
allowed downloads, and first file took nearly two hours).
Step 2: Downloaded HJ-Split (thanks for the advice, guys).
Step 3: Opened HJ-Split, then could not find files even though they
were in same directory, per Martin' suggestion. Started to pull hair
out, regretted giving up smoking.
Step 4: After reading HJ-Split instructions about 001 files, had a
flash of inspiration and renamed all flac files with suffixes 001,
002, 003, 004. Sweated more than in Korean sauna on Sunday.
Step 5: Alleluia, HJ-Split read 001 and found other files. Joining
took two minutes. Made cup of tea.
Step 6: Attempted to open newly created Zip file. Was told archive was
corrupted. Pulled more of increasingly greying hair out.
Step 7: Last flash of inspiration, used Win Rar to open archive. Took
eight minutes. Contemplated watching last episode of 'Kitchen
Nightmares' again to get tips for dealing with next day's high school
students.
Step 8: Converted flac file into 320 kbps mp3.
Step 9: Reminisced about Megaupload, then saw Roger's next post.
Step 10: Prepared to repeat steps 1-9 tomorrow.

BTW, where does the extra bit of Peel featuring Boom Bip at the end
come from?

Best wishes
A haggard and bewildered Steve [TK]
