Re: Y2K5 Performance Recordings (new additions from Bill Walker)

I understand now. Yes, this will require some work. Right now, box.net is not setup for me to link directly to a static MP3 URL...unless a URL like this would work: http://box.net/index.php?rm=download_shared&file_id=987792
 
Hey, I just tried the above url in an m3u file and it works!!! I'll get one started today, and then start adding the minute details...it works without that, just with the URLs in the m3u file.

this is a different animal (and Shoutcast seems to be down right now). If you set up an m3u link, you wouldn't have a continuous (and anonymous) radio kind of stream but an individual stream that would always start with the first track, and you could see each track in your player, with info, and fast forward to the next if you want. See the ct-collective.com site, and click "stream this album" for one of the projects.

 >  Plus, to Michael's request, I just found out from the box.net crew that they are working on a system that will stream all of the MP3s as one file. It will be available in two weeks. 
 
 
cool. Thanks bunches!!
 
Now I know that you've already put lots of work into this, so please, this is not a feature request, but just in case you feel like setting up simple http streaming yourself before those two weeks:
 
It should be possible to link to a simple m3u file, even now. Clicking this link would launch an mp3 player in streaming mode. The file would look like this:
 
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:36,Andy Butler: Rick's Intro
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mp3files/00-ricks-intro.mp3
#EXTINF:395,Andy Butler: Kasaundi
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mp3files/01-kasaundi.mp3
...
and so forth. The number behind EXTINF is the length in seconds.
 
I'd set the file up for you but I'd have to download all files first, to find out the lengths in seconds. If you have them on your harddisk, you can simply use Winamp and create a playlist which looks basically like the list above - the files need an absolute address though (http://myweb ... and so forth).
 
 
best,
