Title: Athens Prom Shows available from AthCast... iTunes
Post by: Kory on Apr 12, 2007, 10:20 AM
Hey all, I've been checking daily and they've got it up now. You can pay them to download the shows or you can search for it in itunes music store and type in "Athcast jacket" that phrase took me right there. Looks as though they have both shows split into two parts. Brian originally found out they were doing this so thanks for finding that out Brian!

What is a "podcast" all about??  I'm going to buy and d/l this thing, then what?  Will I get burnable audio?  Will it just be ipod-compatible? Is there video? I'm a podcast noob....

you can just go to itunes, it's a free download. A podcast is just a ACC/mp3 file that can be listened to on most mp3 players or burned to a disc.
You could wiki podcast to learn more but that's the jist of it.

So it comes as one file I guess?  No seperate tracks?  Regardless I'm pleased to see yet another source for these shows (night 2 especially)....

you're right-O! They're split into set 1 and 2. The podcasts are set to display the song titles when the come up and change pictures as well. Very nicely done by the way!

just go to itunes and check it out...

oh wow!, i've never burned a podcast but when you do, it seperates the tracks... very nice indeed!

Was there a poster for this show?  I need something to use to make my cover art and I can't remember if there was a prom them poster.  I guess I could use the picture of the T-Shirt that you posted Kory but if there is something else, let me know.

no poster that I ever saw... are you looking for printable cover art?

KC made some over at our website if you're interested...

Thanks man.

Also, I searched Itunes and all I got was Set 1 that is about an hour and one half.  Am I missing something.  Isn't there supposed to be two sets?

This should take you to all 4 files...

Thanks again!  Last question, I promise.   These are showing up as one big file.  How did you get them to split up into seperate tracks?  I drug the file over to a "playlist" and then hit "burn" like I would normally do, but it won't let me do it.   Sorry to keep bugging you.
Title: Re: Athens Prom Shows available from AthCast... iT
Post by: Kory on Apr 12, 2007, 02:40 PM
I did that and it worked. Make sure you're set to burn an audio cd in itunes as itunes won't burn a protected acc file to mp3 disc.
Title: Re: Athens Prom Shows available from AthCast... iT
Post by: BH on Apr 12, 2007, 02:46 PM
OK one more questions.   ;)  The first set is 97 minutes.  Do I need to get 100 minute CDs?  Is there such thing?
Title: Re: Athens Prom Shows available from AthCast... iT
Post by: Kory on Apr 12, 2007, 02:50 PM
no, it'll split it down for you. Probably max out the first disc (without splitting a track) and then put the rest on the 2nd disc for you along with set 2.

Still not working.  I am going to try and update my itunes and try again.  Thanks for helping me!
Title: Re: Athens Prom Shows available from AthCast... iT
Post by: Kory on Apr 12, 2007, 03:01 PM
I popped in the discs I burned and it does spit a track across two discs. That kinda sucks but oh well, I'll listen to it on the ipod more than anything anyway.
Let me know if it still doesn't work after the update.

on a side note, my favorite line...

I tried d/ling these things last night, and they kept "timing out" on me.  They were taking for ever to d/l a small portion of the files and then they'd time out (whatever that means)...Anybody know what that's all about??

Be sure to click the podcast buttton on the Itunes Store main page, then click search, then type athcast Jacket like Kory said.  

Thanks for the heads up Kory.

Hey all,

This is Mike from Athcast.  I recorded the shows and made them available on iTunes.

The shows are sb mixed with two live mics.

I have an agreement with MMJ to have the shows available for one-month... so download them now before they are taken down!

I apologize for the slow downloads... I have to post the shows on www.archive.org because we cannot afford the transfer rate when 1,000's of people download the files from our server for free (we had to pay over $500 in the month of January when I had all the files on my server exclusively!!)

You can purchase a monthly subscription (and cancel after one month if ya like.. but i hope that you stay on and download more great athens shows!) and download the files from our server at a MUCH faster rate.  Also, all the shows that I have recorded and all new upcoming shows are available on ONE podcast feed that is updated before shows are available to the general public for free.

The shows are in .m4b files... which means that they are Chaptered like an Audiobook.

When viewing the shows in iTunes, go to the Chapters tab in the top tool bar and see all the song titles with GREAT pictures from the show.

I sincerely hope you all enjoy the shows and check out more great music from Athens, GA via Athcast - The Athens Music Podcast!

Best wishes,

Mike Ewing

Thanks for all you did to record this show Mike, you also have some other great recordings under your belt.
Would there be a way to get these files losslessly as well as the m4b files?

Again, thanks for all the hard work recording as well as chaptering out the recording and adding the pictures, I can see my head in one of them and remember the shows in crystal clear goodness forever!

hey Kory,

Thank you for the kind words!!

I have the first night in lossey files available here:

http://www.archive.org/details/MyMorningJacket_40Watt_3-6_7-07

Those files took about 32 hours to upload to archives server (I just dont have very fast internet access and it takes FOREVER to transfer files over a gig in size.)

I tried to upload the second night .wav files to that same page, but only had 48 hours to upload things onto archive, and like i said, the first night took about 32 hours.... so I stopped the second nights transfer knowing that people could still listen to the .m4b files.

You can send me your addy and I will burn them to disc for ya if you'd like.

Im not sure of what the permissions from the band will be on this, but I assume that will be ok as long as I send it in this month period when it is available.

Again, thanks for the kind words AND thank you very much for your interest in live music and Athcast - Athens Music!  

keep it cool  8-)

mike
