4. What is a Concert Stick?
Our USB sticks are the ideal medium for supplying you with live MP3s immediately after concerts. They are fast, practical and, as a branded merchandising product, highly collectible by fans.

simfy live teams with mobile audio recording studios accompany musical acts throughout their tours and record every show live. The resulting live recordings are split into individual tracks on-site, labeled, converted to high-quality MP3s (320 kbit/s) and copied to our "Concert Sticks" (USB drives).

Concert Sticks, which are packaged in collector's boxes, are available immediately after each concert at simfy live and/or official merchandise booths.

It's a truly unique souvenir of your concert experience!
4. i. Technology
Concert Sticks are USB flash drives with 1 GB of storage capacity. That means they are compatible with any computer with a USB port (version 1.1 or higher) and will be recognized by your computer as a completely normal external drive. The first time you plug in your Concert Stick, a menu will be displayed automatically that you can use to select any of your MP3 recordings. The menu will also lead you directly to the page where you can download encores. The MP3s on your Concert Stick can be played on any standard player such as Windows Media Player, iTunes, VLC, Winamp, Foobar, etc. Of course, you can also simply copy your MP3s to a folder on your computer (e.g., My Music) and/or upload them to your MP3 player.
4. ii. Concert Sticks purchased on-site
We do need a little bit of time to produce the Concert Sticks. What that means is that we have to deliver the last 15 minutes of the show to you later. That’s why we make encores to concerts available for download starting the next day – for free, of course! The coupon code for encores is in your Concert Stick box. All song intros are also included in our live recordings. (See “Download of encores” for more information.)
4. iii. Concert Sticks purchased online
If you bought your Concert Stick online after a concert, the entire concert is already on the Stick, so you don’t need a coupon code for encores.
