No local host this morning. National feed from America's First news with brief local news segments. Is this a new permanent thing?
Could an expert audiophile tell for sure whether it's a Tape/Vinyl/8-track/reel-to-reel or has the recording already suffered too much compression over the radio transmission and cassette transfer alone?
It got me thinking after one of those "It exclusively appeared in a movie cause I remember hearing it" comments popped up again. Even if it could have been a rare case of audio ripped from a VCR, LaserDisc player or TV broadcast, couldn't an analysis of the new recording (and comparing it to audio characteristics of each format) objectively prove or disprove this? Same goes for the standard audio formats, which was my main question to begin with.
If it's proven to be an LP/45, that confirms either a miniscule commercial release or the production of at the very least 20-ish promo copies. That'd totally greenlight it for the dedicated few seriously considering listening through every available release out there (to be fair it just takes a couple seconds into each song). Not to mention, having just one format to look through greatly cuts off a whole bulk of dead-ends.
Alternatively, if it's a tape, 8-track or an entirely non-commercial home/field/studio recording format, we can instead focus what remains of the search on other leads. I personally would just make believe it really did leak through the multiverse at that point.
Here's hoping someone definitively narrows it down one of these days
Got in the truck this afternoon and 95.3 is now full time Christmas? Which means it will probably not return/ will be back after Christmas as a new format. It was normal programming on the way to day care this morning. Do we now have no Alternative Rock stations left in this market? I didn't love the station but it was the closest to what I liked I could get off terrestrial radio. Guess it is time to upgrade the radio so I can stream off something now..
Anybody know what iHeart radio is planning here. I hate iHeart....
I've got a copy of the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show from BBC Radio series (1978) in MP3 format and I'm not sure what library type to put it in. It's an individual MP3 file for each episode of the show.
My first thought is a music library, it isn't listed in The AudioDB or MusicBrainz so won't match, but I could tag Album as "Hitchhikers...." and the Artist as "BBC Radio" and manually enter metadata and photos from Wikipedia I guess. Any better suggestions?
Do you get this feeling, you want to hear some old tracks and hits and find a good radio station covering from like 1940s, 1950s , 60s , 70 and 80s and 90s and you find out there not the original recordings or releases there are all remastered in another time, gone to stereo from mono, and those version is even in 21st Century or last year edit , so the words, songs and artist targeting those years but it not from that year from playback or backing. it newer then you think. why cant radio play mono version or find the nearest original recordings as possible, some may be hard to find maybe, but lots is out there.
Hi, thanks for the help, I'm wanting to know if I can use AES radios, that will be decommissioned soon, for something else, in the post-apocalyptic future. I want to know if using radio, we can re-establish communication networks, without internet.
Whether its the top 40 station, the classic rock station, or alt rock station, listening to three idiots with no other prospects in life talk about inane garbage all morning is awful. Just shut up and play the music. Read the weather/traffic/news briefs and advertisements, but shut up. I don't need another annoying voice first thing in the morning.
Edit: I use radio for my alarm in the morning, and I use Spotify or satellite radio in my car. I've had the same radio-alarm for 20 years and it still works fine for me.
Hi all,
I'm looking for podcast recommendations for those acted out in the style of radio sitcoms. Has a plot, but someone isn't walking you through it. What would this format even be called?
Best example I can think of is "Cabin Pressure" by the BBC.
Thank you!
Things are quickly moving again in the West TN talk radio market. 93.1 FM WTJS os soon to become all Christian Radio for Jackson. They had major tower and transmission damage and now, instead of reaching all of West TN, they cover just the immediate Jackson area. Grace Broadcasting intended to have completely different programming on their 101.5 and 93.1 stations, but those plans have not worked out. Tim November, of Grace Broadcasting will be promoting advertisers who claim to be "faith based" and Old Country Store heir, Brooks Shaw, will control most of the program content and host personalities. He wants more "spiritual" hosts! The Shaw family has urged changes in all the 93.1 programming, particularly that which broadcasts from the restaurant's Dixie Cafe satellite studio. Will Jackson listeners support this reboot of "Christian" radio?
Classic Rock music is rock music created in the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s. It is most assuredly not rock music that has simply aged as Apple and Spotify otherwise suggest.
A few bands that are not Classic Rock: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Faith, Sublime, The Offspring, REM, Guns n Roses, Motley Crue, Scorpions.
I don't want to pay out too much for script writing software right. The BBC Radio play format suits my needs, but formatting as I write in google docs is a pain. I'm not asking to be told *how* to do it, but is there a resource or guide on how to quickly format in google docs?
Or is there a less cheap software or service that will let me format in BBC and export as a PDF?
