I was wondering the same thing, but I just downloaded an app called Free MP3 and it worked great. There is a browser in the app, and you click the song and it saves it to the app. As far as I know, it does NOT put it in your music library. It basically has it's own "library".

This is all greek to me. How can I get a CD of the show? I almost didn't make the show. I worked till 10 am, The Wife picked me up at work. WE drove from Chgo to Burlington Wisc. As we parked our car at a phriends house We were asked who had the tickets. The Wife looked like a deer in the headlights. I knew the tickets were back home in Chgo. I was not happy. I figured I would buy tickets at the show. It was then that I remembered we downloaded the tickets. WE loged on to my e-mail and printed them again. Then I needed a beer!
Back to my question, How would I get a CD from the show?

Download the mp3 files.
Pop in a blank CD.
Open WMP
Click on Burn
Drag the files where it says too.
Start burn.
Should work.

I can't speak about iPhones since I have not used one, but I would guess the process is the same at it is for Androids. For Android phones, use your web browser (either stock or downloaded) to browse to the show folder. Once you are there, try using a long press to download or save each file to the phone. The trick is finding which folder the browsers saves the files to. Try checking in folders like Downloads, Media, or Music. It may be on the phone's memory or on an external SD card.
Once you find the files, your stock music player should be able to open the files.
Just wanted to add that by using a long press to download a song on my iphone, one of the choices on an iphone is to add to your reading list. When you select that option, the link is saved. When you open Safari and click on your bookmarks option, the "reading list" option comes up, and you can click on that and find the link to a song.
Again, the file is not saved on your iphone, but the link is.
Of course an easier way to play any file is to save cuebas.net/buffett as an icon on your home screen or add to reading list. This feature only allows you to open one file at a time and is not really a playlist of a concert.

I'm sorry that people are having problems downloading the shows to their phones.
For Android users, there is a free FTP client you can use to download the entire show in a couple clicks. The app I use is
AndFTP. It is easy to setup and allows you to download the show just like you are using a desktop FTP client like Filezilla.
For iPhone users, the easiest way to get the show is to download it with your computer, then use iTunes to transfer the show to the phone. There is also a free FTP client for iPhone and iPad called
FTP Sprite. I have not used this app, but based on the screenshots, it looks like it is also easy to setup and use.
Both of these apps allow easy downloads in just a few clicks. By downloading the shows instead of streaming, you will have shows stored on your phone. This will ensure that you can always play the shows even if you don't have a reliable cell connection or if you have a plan with a data limit.
Hope this information helps...

I was at the show, and it was great. But listening to it again I appreciate it even more. Jimmy and the band really, really bring it. So good.
It's fun catching all of Jimmy's banter during and between songs. You tend to miss a lot of that at the show. Well i do at least. That's what a 12-pack will do to a guy. I can't be the ONLY one, right?
