I hope someone can help me out on this question. Can you download the songs from the Elfman-Burton Box Set USB device to itunes or do they have to play from the device?

Thanks

The USB stick allows you to save them to your desktop/hard drive and from there you can add them to iTunes.

Open (don't run) the drive and explore a bit and you can find folders with MP3s of all the tracks. Just copy them to whatever device you'd like to listen to them on.

Thank you for the quick feedback, I have the opportunity to pick the USB up and it's a lot cheaper than the entire set. I could not get the $600.00 entire box set cost past the wife.

thanks again!

You can "export" them from the device as MP3s, but initially everything is embedded in the program on the drive.

Are these people selling the sick apart from their box set, or pirating the music onto a generic USB Drive? Or are the Mp3's legally avail. separate from The Box?

I would buy a download of Pee Wee's Big Adventure if it was available, is what I'm saying (knowing that a lone CD release is likely not going to happen).

I took everything from the USB stick. Didnt touch the CDs because I didnt want to mess them up. I know it sounds crazy...

I just bought mine off Ebay - I haven't received it yet but the picture was the box set USB. I'll let you know if it is bogus.

It should be fairly easy to tell - seems like the custom-made drive would be hard to fake.

I received the USB today works great, but I can't figure out how to get to the files for export.
I hit open and it only opens and plays from the stick - I can see no files or other areas to check.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Nevermind, I was able to figure it out and move files to my computer. Sound is pretty good for MP3's.

Thanks,

Don't upgrade your headphones... the mp3s are 192 and sound OK but with a good set of cans will lack presence and punch.

I use Mp3 LAME VBR in the 220s and it sounds so much better.

Agreed!, I did some EQ on my car system and got some good sound.

Are the mp3's on the skeleton USB stick 192 straight bit rate or 192 VBR?
