Lo-fi Streaming Option:

Hey, I have put a trial version of a “lo-fi” streaming option for last week’s show and, so far, the feedback indicates it is a success. This option if for those on dial up connections. It streams a 24 kbps mp3, which is about one fifth the size of the downloadable 128 kbps mp3.

Soon I’ll put up “lo-fi” options for all the shows.

Also, I’m going to redesign the Coffeetime Archive page soon. I bought some more server space, so I’ll have plenty of room to provide the “hi-fi” downloads and the new “lo-fi” streams. And maybe I’ll finally get around to posting the “ancient” episodes of Coffeetime like I promised.

The streaming option for this week’s show has been fixed, but I’m still going to look into making another streaming option for those who are on dial up -- a low bandwidth option.

Thursday’s show is now available on the Coffeetime Archive, but just the download. The streaming option will come later.

I am looking into a request to make the streaming version work better for dial up connections. More soon...

Hey. Both the playlist and the download of yesterday's show will be up in a few days. Too much snow!

In the meantime, enjoy this new kiddie record site I just found!

Jan 20 Coffeetime now online at the Coffeetime Archive!

That’s “coffeetime archive dot org” for all you “say it to the ear, not to the eyes” folks!

::she listens and enjoys being socked in by the snow::

Running (Live!) Playlist

I'll attempt to post the playlist as I do the show; let’s see if I can pat my tummy & rub my head:

Well, it wasn’t a complete success: trying to blog the playlist while during the show might be more than I can handle!

Show to be uploaded in the next couple of days. Stay tuned to this blog!

Hey, folks. No, it wasn’t your antenna or ISP: WMBR was off the air for most of yesterday and overnight. We are definitely on the air as I type this and I expect Coffeetime will be on as usual today. I'm not sure how good your signal will be; repairs are still to be made.

But, remember: you can always listen to the show afterwards and anytime you want by going to the Coffeetime Archive.

Yesterday’s show is now online at the Coffeetime Archive.

Once again, I’ve posted the complete two-hour stream-rip of the the show. Let me know if you hear any differences between these two-hour stream-rips versus the two one-hour mp3-converted AIFF burns.

Also always feel free to email me any less nerdy comments! (Or just post ’em here using the comments link below each post.)

The playlist for this show is in the post immediately preceding this one.

Hey, thanks to all the listeners who gave me a call today; it is always nice to hear from people. Below is the playlist for the show. I will try to get the mp3 up on the Coffeetime Archive as soon as I can.

Hi. Last thursday’s show is now up on the Coffeetime Archive. Sorry for the delay -- had kinda a wacky weekend.

I uploaded a full two-hour version; it’s a direct mp3 rip from the WMBR stream. Let me know if there are any drop outs or other problems with it. (I just did a quick spot check and it sounded okay and the whole show is there, plus Alex’s last song. A bonus treat!) When I put a rip like this online, it doesn’t have the sort of ID tags that I put on the other one-hour versions. Here’s how I normally do things:

:: warning: full nerd-out follows::
Normally, I burn the show directly off of the mixing board at the station (using equipment that is a direct result of listener donations -- thanks!). This takes 2 CDs, one for each hour. So there’s usually a teeny gap while I take the CD for hour 1 out of the burner and put in the CD for hour 2. These CDs are direct digital transfers of the show -- in other words, AIFF-quality. When I get home, I rip these 2 CDs into my computer using iTunes, converting them to 128 kbps mp3’s. In the process, I add ID tags so that, if you download the full mp3s (as opposed to streaming), you can do a “Get Info” in iTunes and see the show name, date of broadcast, my name, and the WMBR info.

However, the two-hour stream rips (like the one I just uploaded) don’t have that stuff. Cuz I was in a hurry to get the show online. Cuz I had a wacky weekend!

Besides, my show “burns” (ahem, by that I mean the 2 CDs I burned while I did the show) came out a bit raggedy because I switched control rooms.

Does this count as TMI? Anyhooozeeeez, the playlist for the show is below.

; o )
