Your favourite listenings......

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

I wonder how I missed this thread until now. Until my CD changer in my shop died recently (too much sawdust, I really need to rip my CD's and get some kind of MP3 player), my most frequently played people included Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, and Tom Petty, with Dire Straits, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen following up. More off the beaten track stuff includes Loreena McKennitt and the Chieftains. More modern includes 3 Doors Down and Train (though the quality of the latter is kind of spotty).

As for Simon & Garfunkel, I thought that the recent cover of "Sounds of Silence" by Disturbed was very well done--though the video was a disappointment.

There's a problem with the Youtube links when viewed on a computer.

They load for me OK on PC but show as black boxes for a few seconds before refreshing with the expected view. maybe your ISP or youtube at that time was having a go slow. Does it load if you leave the page up longer?

I am pretty sure it is not a ISP problem, as I can have up 8 different pages simultaneously on the same desktop
then refresh the whole lot in less than 1 second. This the same with 8 different music utubes and they all play together (what a racket) and a similar refresh time.

Every entry since day one of the post shows up as a blank black square. Its almost as though our WHII has been hacked.

Time will tell

What if you try posting one yourself?

Just preview it if you don't actually want to post anything...

I've just tried that on the new posts started in Bugs. The result is a black box in preview and the post.

See other post related to this, it's a YouTube change that's caused it and I'll be looking at what can be done to resolve ASAP.

Hi Mark

Just seen the Red Light music blog from Pinch that plays OK without using the "quote" :text-bravo:

This version is outstanding - in my humble opinion.

Paul Simon apparently made the effort to contact David Draiman (lead singer of 'Disturbed's cover') and congatulate him on a powerful performance.

I think this cover takes 'The Sound of Silence' to another level and captures the essence of being, and the mind's being - superb.

I first heard this in 1966 and as an impressionable teenager it was such a change from 'pop' music. In those days, folk music had developed into protest songs, Dylan and others, as well as S&G.

PS's observations, articulations and musical settings were brilliant.

I still can't play his fingerpicking style.

We are getting a nice little collection of music here.
For one who has never downloaded music and rarely dabbles in this field, is there a simple, free method to download the audio track of these videos for playing offline please.
Its only a dumb question when you know how!
Oh yes, PC based is essential. The only macintosh here is one I use in the rain!

TIA

Bob,

I do it with iTunes. I record my CDs into iTunes and they can then be played from the PC and even downloaded onto your phone. I have a cheap bluetooth speaker, from Sanisbury's of all places, and the speakers are better than the computer's.

I was also given a present of a really decent pair of on ear headphones (I just cannot be doing with these in ear ones!) and the digital clarity is amazing.

I also have an Amazon Firestick attached to a small TV in the kitchen. Amazon have a similar setup to iTunes and you can upload your recorded tunes or buy recordings, like in iTunes, and the play them through the Firestick and TV.

I also have downloaded the BBC Radio iPlayer app (different from the normal iPlayer). It has a really intuitive interface and while I was supposed to be finishing the boiler doors a couple of weeks ago, I sat down in the garage and listened to le Carre's Smiley's people on Radio 4 for an hour!

HTH

BTW, Mrs Malc2098 saw me listening on headphones the other day and said if I didn't do something about my obsession with the Monkees, she was going to walk out!

At first I didn't believe her.

Then I saw her face!

What I was really after was a method of saving the sound tracks of the you tube videos posted here. I did once play my CDs into iTunes and hence onto my phone but that was only realtime and took forever.
Maybe there is a better way these days?

How about this?

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001137.htm


I have used Audacity in the past to provide a music tracks to videos. It is free, comprehensive and needs some add ins, but all the instructions are on the interweb for that.

Transferring of CD music data onto computer is now no longer in real time, so it is a viable way of transferring. iTunes and Amazon make it easy.

Doh! I was accused of being obsessed with REM to the extent that I was trying to creep in to all their photos. That's me in the corner.

Thanks Malcolm.

Non realtime CD sounds good step forward. I'll have to play.

My main question it to TAKE the sound track from youtube videos such as the ones being posted in this thread and record them as audio only ie no video.
Will Audacity do that? if so might be worth digging into.

Bob

PS thanks for that Andy - will look/experiment later after do some woodwork this afternoon.

From the videos I've seen of Audacity, yes, you can do that. And I have also used Audacity to separate the audio from a couple of music DVD's I have to convert them into mp3s to play on my mp3 player, and now onto my iPhone.

There are some really awful music puns coming out here. Any more to titter at?!
