Here is the latest Teenage Dreams show.
I had some technical difficulties surrounding my turntable, so have delayed the one I published previously.
Mixcloud is a great vehicle to get your shows 'out there' if you're not going to stream.
Sounds good! If that is unprocessed I don't notice it. But if I ran it it would get processed from Salamandra and the studio interface or the Schlockwood.
If I want a couple more from this how do I download? Couldn't see how from mixcloud.
@mark If anyone wants any of the shows I put up on MixCloud, all you have to do is ask me. I can send via a website called HighTail, which is free to both the sender and receiver (up to some limit I haven't hit yet).
Most of the source music came from CD, so it has whatever processing applied there. Some obviously were transferred from vinyl to CD.
Until I fix my turntable, I will continue to do shows the way I've always done them. I'll probably call the shows I create from vinyl 45's something different - maybe go back to the old name of Vinyl Jukebox.
I can put up to a maximum of 10 shows on MixCloud using the free account. I don't think that I'll go with the paid subscription, so I'll just rotate, moving the oldest show off when I put a new one on.
I have a slot for it, but I can't find a way to download it. I need an actual file to schedule it in the automation. Without knowing the file type I don't know if I can point the automation to play it from mixcloud.
@artisan-radio radio4all.net has always been a popular and free place to upload programming, however I notice they have announced its moving to a new server on the 26th and will be offline a few days..
But the better option is probably the internet Archive where I notice thousands of programs are archived. It's free too.
Either seems like a better option than mixcloud.
Carl always made his KDX programming available for download on his own home server - isn't your setup the same as his was? Why not do it like he did?
...or googledrive, or dropbox,;both free up to 5 gigs or so
Quite simply, copyright restrictions.
To distribute copyrighted material via the Internet, at least in Canada, you need to have a specific type of license (mechanical, or reproduction, or something like that). It's not cheap.
Carl's stuff was in the public domain, self-produced or using public domain material. That was his intent, anyway.
I don't know how some of this stuff works in the U.S. For example, TiminBovey puts his Old Time Oldies (polka) show up for download on his website. He does pay licensing fees to broadcast the copyrighted material, but as far as I know, that's it. He doesn't stream, and I don't know if a streaming license would cover downloading.
Anyway, that's the reason I don't do it.
I only put the show up on MixCloud so that people could listen to it. Not for distribution. MixCloud is essentially an on demand streaming platform, that pays the required copyright fees.
I've explained why I don't want to put the show up on the Internet for download, particularly on my own server.
Similarly, I don't want to run an FTP server or anything like that.
I am willing to distribute the show via HighTail, as long as the recipient recognizes that it contains copyrighted material, and they are allowed to broadcast it (either they are licensed, or don't require a license as is the case with BETS in Canada).
Archive.org consists of mostly copyrighted material, and they claim 'fair use' in the U.S. Unfortunately, those rules don't apply to the rest of the world, and multiple lawsuit judgements against them are undermining that claim even in the U.S. I don't say I agree with these decisions; just that I don't want to get tangled up in a copyright mess.
