U2 Complete Studio Album [11 discs in Flac format, EAC with Accu

This is the complete collection of U2's 11 studio albums, from 1980 to 2004.

This is the best known kind of audiorip: EAC secure rip with test and accurate rip match, in a single FLAC file with cuesheet, log and artwork embedded.
You can use Foobar2000 to open the file reading each single track, and also to convert it in single files in wav or other formats. You can also read the log file, which show the rip is done with the most possible quality.
If you convert it in wav with cuesheet, you can burn it with EAC and have the PERFECT copy of the original CD (also with pregaps within tracks).
Anyway, this is the best way to archive audio cds, so I hope you will keep them seeding for a while.

They're all original CDs. I will release remastered version later if this will be well seeded (Boy, October, War and Joshua Tree, all with bonus discs).

I have low bandwidth (10-15 kb/s), thanks to my provider's p2p filters... so be patient.

Here the album list:

1980 - Boy
1981 - October
1983 - War
1984 - The Unforgettable Fire
1987 - The Joshua Tree
1988 - Rattle And Hum
1991 - Achtung Baby
1993 - Zooropa
1997 - Pop
2000 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
2004 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb



I hope you enjoy, help seeding... and consider to make high quality flac release as in this guides (sorry for the heavy png format):
