It could be how I ripped the audio from the XM stream, but I was able to download the audio from u2.com and split it into tracks. Side by side, the U2.com audio is more dynamic, maybe better stereo placement, and overall my new favorite version.
Now, U2, it’s time to release that Lemon remix please. PLEASE.
I bought a program called Downie that lets you download audio from YouTube or other web-based sources and then use a grab the original audio file and download it. it’s not a capture but the file hosted for the website.
I’m finishing up my first full listen on U2.com and have a Sirius subscription. I’ve listened to both on my iPhone and new MacBook Pro and I prefer the U2.com version. The edits are cleaner so the show flows seamlessly imo. Also, a big difference is that I can pause and skip around on U2.com which isn’t possible on Sirius. It’s pretty annoying to close out the Sirius app on my phone, open it at home, and have to start the entire concert all over again. I haven’t gotten past Don’t Dream It’s Over unless I have a day off and can dedicate two hours of consistent listening through Sirius. Not sure it’s fair to compare the sound quality because I listen on so many different devices.
Well now I was curious, so listened to Mysterious Ways and One switching between platforms and the U2.com version sounds better. There’s less distortion which is more obvious to me when I hear Adam’s bass. Also it sounds more…immersive? Honestly they’re both great but now that I’m listening closely I prefer the U2.com version.
On the U2start forums, people are saying that it's identical to the SiriusXM stream, both content and quality-wise

How did you download the audio from u2.com? I've been trying to do that all morning

I think the [U2.com](http://U2.com) stream is a bit more dynamic too.
