Nate Dorward Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) OK--time to start this thread. I will try this time to create a downloadable version, but anyone who wants a physical CDR mailed to them should just ask. I will keep this to a single CDR's worth of material, as I think two CDs are simply too much to digest & comment on. No overarching theme, just some music I like. Probably to vary the pace I'll include some older tracks along with recent stuff (whereas my last two BFTs were all new material).

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 With a little trepidation I'll go for this one. Downloads if you can, but I'll PM you with address if you need to send a disc. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Dorward Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Trepidation? Any reason why? Probably most of this will be in my usual zone of not-quite-mainstream, not-quite-avantgarde, hopefully all fairly userfriendly. Plus there are a few tracks that I keep leaving off past BFTs that will surely make the cut this time round.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Please count me in, Nate. I was foiled in getting involved with Durium's BFT with the download. Probably the main reason is my white-elephant PC (which is a Pentium II piece of junk.) Within a week or so I'll have a real machine so shouldn't have any glitches with D/L. I'm looking forward to your choices. Ya got good taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm in for a download, though I've not found time to post anything on #60 and #61 (apologies, sidewinder & durium!) - but a download costs nothing, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Dorward Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 A last <<bump>>--I'll be putting CDRs in the mail next week.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm in, but I'll wait for the digital version. Thanks for making it a one-disc affair -- I totally agree with your logic on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 OK, have been struggling with my software but managed to create the BFT at last! CDRs go in the mail on Monday, the download will be available shortly thereafter. As always, a tricky problem, creating a single 80-minute compilation. I've fudged things this time with a partial bonus disc--not full length, but it contains one very long track on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 OK: I've made physical copies for: The Magnificent Goldberg Bill Barton mikeweil stereojack If anyone else wants one, then get me your address & I'll burn it for you. Otherwise, it'll be a download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 & at his request I also mailed a physical copy to Durium. I'll post the downloads once the physical copies start to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Dorward Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Wow, that's fast! I mailed them Monday......... The Magnificent Goldberg pm'd to say he got his too. OK, I'll put up the downloads shortly, then, since the CDRs seem to be arriving quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yup, very speedy indeed... Three days from your digs in Ontario to the Pacific Northwest, Nate. They arrived this afternoon. Thanks! I'm looking forward to checking them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Dorward Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey, great! So only stereojack's discs are as yet not accounted for..... OK, I'll get the download version up & running forthwith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 In case people are wondering, I'm not very experienced with using ripping software &c, so haven't sorted things out yet after spending the last few hours at the computer.... (the details:) I was using two programs to handle the audio files--the copy of NTI CD/DVD Maker that came with my computer & the iTunes software I have installed. The former offers a "convert audio" option but it triggers a request that I pay up for the software (fair enough, but it's a clunky program & I'm not entirely sure I want to pay for it), and the latter is just puzzling: it's supposed to offer an option to convert WAV files to MP3 but I can't seem to get it to do it--the help file is not helpful as it refers me to a nonexistent tab option, for some reason. Agh! Anyway, if anyone has suggestions I'd be very grateful. What I have is the original CDs, of course, & also the WAV files I created while making the CDRs. But I take it that I need to convert them to MP3 or else they will be far too big. (Will MP4 do? that's the default for iTunes. Not sure of the compatibility with everyone's players.) Somehow I'll get this all sorted out over the weekend....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 MANY thanks to Big Al who helped me to figure out how to get this ripped to MP3s & upload them. The main file is now uploaded: http://rapidshare.com/files/192528716/BFT_62_download.zip I'll get the bonus tracks uploaded later this afternoon. -- I used the default bitrate (192)--if this creates files that are too large tell me & I'll redo them with a lower bitrate.
