  1. Then just check the link that I sent you on how to do that. Here's a woman who's been doing the same thing that you want to do... only, it's with bellydance music: Radio Bastet (only program #66 is currently available, but you get the idea...) Also, about your iTunes comment: it is possible that your music set may be accepted into the iTunes podcast list, but don't be surprised if down the road, someone - and I mean even people who don't have a stake in the matter, but just get all bothered about the legal issues - decides to complain to iTunes about your podcast tunes. I wouldn't upload it myself, because I'd always have the feeling of walking on eggshells. Like I said, I think your best bet is to either use the ourmedia site (but I've never used it like WD45 has, so I don't know how reliable it is) or read the easy tutorial at the link I sent you and upload your individual files that make up an hour right to your website and provide your friends, enemies, and ne'r do well's the address and we can all go right there and listen while we whistle or download the stream link so we can listen while we tinkle! m3u: it's streaming media - again, read the link that I sent you. best, Rod
  2. Just speaking to someone last night/this morning about this... Do you have an FTP client that you use to upload stuff to your website? If so, another idea that's not really podcasting is just uploading a set of music files to your website: http://www.samisite.com/test-csb2nf/audio.htm You may find this explanation to be handy. You can compile a batch of pieces with m3u on the end and just send that address out to the music forums and other friends for all to listen and it comes directly from your website! As I understand it, Podcasting is legal if you are presenting something other than music broadcasts of people's work that you never received permission to podcast. This is why the majority of freely accessed podcasts consists of talk programming - news, comedy, etc.. If there is music, it's usually of the kind that's been freely submitted - usually by up-and-coming artists. Also, depending on how much money you are willing to devote, if you are only interested in presenting a specific set of music and broadcasting it 24/7 for as long as you choose, then I would *seriously* consider getting something like the cheapest MacMini (either one that's used or even an old computer that you don't use) and just using that as a server to run just your audio. You could load up, say, 9 hours of music and just let it run for a month. That way, anyone could tune in at any time of the day for any length and you don't have the stupid RIAA rules about how many tunes, by what artist, and in what order that you have to adhere to. Live365 idea is interesting in that it allows listeners to be able to tune in to your preset playlist anytime that they want... but of course, they charge for this service and it's a less listener-friendly.
  3. Something for your grand birthday! It was created out of 566 Sonny Rollins related images - photos, record covers, sheet music, etc - all placed in a grid of 100 X 100 (10,000 tiles). (To the O-Board: sorry about the size of this, I'll remove it after this weekend). If you look closely at the white reflection on top of the music stand reading lamp, you'll see sheet music with the chord changes to "Oleo"...but, you'll have to look at the large original to see this. The large original (2456 X 3304) is here. Take it easy today and, like James Brown says, "Think!"
  4. PM sent... (36:33 on disc - no extra tunes...)
  5. CHRISTMAS WITH McGRUFF McGRIFF:
  6. Eggnog Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce!
  7. Thanks Chuck. I'll spend some time with it this afternoon.
  8. Thanks for the feedback on this. Pretty much under the impression that it was a bit stream-of-consciousness in style. Don't have much of a problem with someone telling their own stories - as long as, of course, it's genuinely interesting. I'll do a little more searching for reviews. Thanks!
  9. Probably what happened is someone just filled in the track names, artists, etc on their disc and then uploaded the info to the CDDB (the source of iTunes lookup). Someone comes along with a disc with the same number of tracks and timings and voila!
  10. Excellent idea! He puts up with us fer chrissakes!
  11. I'm thinking of buying this. I'm wondering if it covers just the 80's and 90's of the Paris jazz scene. I'd like it more if it covered some of the earlier decades too, but I don't know if it does. Anyone had a chance to read it yet? Thanks, Rod
  12. Thanks David for all the work you do with your show. Life begins at 40! (ghost of miles....):
  13. Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't really thought of the DVD/VHS combos because I've gotten used to doing those transfers thru a desktop setup. Could be easier, but I wonder how easy it is to actually edit the stuff tho... Anyway, I've put off getting this Panasonic unit that has a 400 GB HD. I figured the price would come down in a few months, but the Pansies have taken it off the market. That one and the other 2 or 3 top models of theirs are now gone and probably are to be found on eBay only. Maybe there's not much need for 400, 160, and/or 120 GB HDs. Some retailers have a bad habit of not updating their websites, so I've been getting "not-in-stock-anymore" answers from about 6 different places, so I'm at nearly square one again. Yes, the 14 hours on a disc idea is at very low resolution on double-sided discs. These companies tell you grand stories but they're based on the low end of the hardware. The 400 GB HD unit that I mentioned above can record 709 hours of stuff, but it'll look like VHS at EP setting. At various settings your single-sided disc will hold either 1/2/4/6 or 8 hours. Double-sided: 2/4/8/12/ and 16 hours (double-natch ) I've got a discount coupon, so off to Best Buy... Thanks for the suggestions!
  14. Any updates that anyone would like to add? Doing a bit of shopping for a DVD/HD recorder.
  15. Another strange trend that I've noticed lately is towards old-style biblical type names like Zacharia. (and why does the name Madonna produce a kind of breast shape?)
  16. Here you go Lon. Lonson is not listed at all, but you can see "Lon" and it's other variations:
  17. Type in a name. you can place your cursor to find out how popular your name was when you were born: Baby Name Wizard
  18. Not really "procedure" - just courtesy. With the tea, it helps if you slow down too...
  19. The "extra" version has valerian (and doesn't stink ). Drink it about an hour before bedtime. Knocks me right out.
  20. Have you tried valerian or Sleepy Time tea?
  21. Yeah, no prob. Seemed an obvious way to handle it. Hadn't seen the thread in question, but it would seem that if there were a lot of back-and-forth over a topic, then it'd be polite to ask, but I don't know the nature and/or length of the exchanges. oh well...my two centavos...
  22. Click on the title while holding down your "control" button and you should have 5 options pop up. One of them is "Download Linked File." Highlight that and it should download immediately.
  23. Yes, still. Jim dropped a note to tech, but maybe there's been no answer or results.
