Looking up the file format gives me more information.
Also for Android I wasn’t able to find any documentation or download for the tunein.php application itself, though (Google search is just awful sometimes). I see there’s a tunein radio app for the iPhone. So now I’m not listening.Įxtracting the link and doing a search on tunein.php took me to a list of a *pile* of these radio stations. Just as an experiment, I tried stopping the stream to see whether the audio player would pick up later at the same spot. I wish people would announce band names and song titles, in case I hit something I like (like the Bowie I’m listening to right now, which I had to learn about by Googling the lyrics).
I’m listening to it as I do this follow-up. The music isn’t exactly to my tastes, but it’s OK.
It took me a bit to figure out what to do (the post never actually tells you how to *listen* to ds106 radio, but eventually I took a flyer and just clicked on the link titled “streams that audio out to a play list” and it launched and simply started playing in VNC Player (and I assume it would do the same in iTunes if iTunes were my default audio application). Maybe keep ’em on the shorter side out of courtesy and for the sake of variety. I uploaded a few longer files that I am now regretting, and I hope to talk to the station manager to fix this. Oh wait, one more thing to think about is keeping the audio submissions to ds106 radio rather short in order to prevent complete domination.
But don’t let my schedule get in the way, get in there as soon as you like.Īnyway, back to commenting, hope to see you again soon blog. I think the shows will kick off week 4 or 5 when we start ramping up to audio. Figure maybe me and Martha Burtis, Alan Levine, Tom Woodward and others can have a show reflecting back on the class on a regular basis, who knows. I already have a plan to talk 80s film with Martin Weller once a week for an hour and have a variety/call in show with Tom Woodward. What’s more, I will be setting up a programming schedule for the radio station in the ds106 wiki shortly, and this is where people can sign-up to broadcast their own radio station for intervals of an hour.
How many courses do you know that have their own radio station?! Screw elluminate, we want the airwaves, baby!!! The “Shine On” Bumper (this one is for you “ds106 Radio…Shine On!”ĭownload “ds106 Radio Let’s get physical”ĭownload “ds106 Airwaves” (thanks to the Ramones) Process was dead simple, I downloaded the audio from YouTube (I’m liking Andy Rush’s recommendation for “The fastest YouTube downloader” a lot) and edited it in Audacity–simple as pie. So below ar a few very short radio bumpers I made and submitted to #ds106 radio. So since then I’ve been uploading to ds106 radio furiously (which may very well kill its soul ? ), and I was so inspired I took some time tonight to create a few radio bumpers-something I’ve never done before-and it has been a blast. It sounded like a solid hour of Brian lamb’s remixs and mashups, and it was internet soul music. After Andy Rush and I spent the afternoon working to the soundtrack of ds106 we were nothing short of blown away by how good it was. From what I understand, Brian Lamb was streaming it on his mobile, so this thing is a go. What the hell is ds106 radio? Well, it is the brain child of Grant Potter (and I think Jason Toal and Brian Lamb had a hand in it as well) which basically allows anyone from around ds106 (which means anyone ? ) to upload audio files to a dropbox account which in turn streams that audio out to a play list that you can open up and listen to in iTunes (and I imagine other applications). So, in order to get back on my horse, I decided to create a few (of hopefully many, many more) bumpers for #ds106 Radio.
OK, wow, that was a pretty awesome beginning to ds106, I’ve been having a lot of fun reading and commenting up a storm, but I got a little home sick for my blog, and plus I got tired of seeing everyone else have all the fun.
