William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Aren't Jon's podcasts just streaming shows?
Nope. If you go to "advanced" under your iTunes toolbar and select "subscribe to podcast" and paste
this url:
feed://web.mit.edu/jonb/www/playlist/BoCFriday.xml
in the box it gives you it should download the show to your iTunes and then you manually transfer it to your pod.
Tell tell - how many GBs?? It is the new fancy video one? I watched a Beck video on a friend's the other day and was frankly blown right the fuck away buy how good the picture quality was. Not that I'm not happy with my non-video playing iPod. IJS.
Not the new one with the video. One of the original ones with 20 GB. I'm very eager to start playing with podcasts - more than just listening to own record collection, actually.

Thanks Tina!!

Tina gave the answer, but I think Sue was confused because WMBR also streams archived shows from their website. They don't do podcasts. I set up my podcast independent of that.
Very cool, Hec. Who needs video on their iPods anway - I mean besides me in a year or two.

Report back on the good ones you find. I listen to Jon's, the NPR new music one and the iTunes new music one and Jon's is the only consistently good one - but I'm sure there are more out there that I just haven't hunted down yet.
Thanks Tina!!
No problem.

That is what I was confused by. Now I can listen to the shows not at my desk, where I am always turning them up to hear Jon, then turning them down so the music down disturb my fellow office cattle.
Be warned that last week's show, being a special 4 hour edition, is over 200MB. Also, I hope to have today's show up in a few hours. At that point, the XML file will no longer link to last week's "best of". However, you'll be able to download it directly as an mp3 from [link]
I just downloaded last week's show. I do all my podcast subscribing at work, due to dial up at home. Now I just have to remember to bring in my cord on Monday.
You may not know that Brian Eno recorded the startup music for Windows 95 (which is still used for XP, no?).
Well, MS has hired Robert Fripp to record the music for Windows Vista (the next OS): [link]

I think he should use "21st Century Schizoid Man". I suspect Bill Gates would not be amused, though.
