Dan, you're missing the point. You don't need to stream the Real Audio file. Just encode it and leave it for d/l, just like an mp3. That way, the file is smaller and you can leave in *all* the music so people can hear it, which is why you do a 'music' radio/net show, rather then a 'talk' radio/net show. > Well, I'm not going to put up the music because I don't want to step on > people's toes who are putting money into releasing his stuff.

If it's in real audio, it's not a substitute for buying the release, just a chance for people to hear it before hand, at lesser quality. And the converse, having the interviews in a higher quality format, such as mp3, is just silly. It really *IS* supposed to be about the music, isn't it? Putting it up for later listening isn't much different then broadcasting it in the first place. If someone wants to tape it, they can. The fact of the matter is that your goofy java audio was broke and a lot of people were looking forward to hearing that netcast, especially after the hype that's been generated by people on this list (myself and yourself included) about Alex. I had to work and wasn't able to drive down to OC to be there, so everyone in my house was sitting around the computer waiting for 8:00pm to roll around, as I'm sure quite a few people on both this list and SCR were. And then it didn't work. Make up for it instead of going on about silly interview mp3's and reasons why you can't put up the music. Ask Alex, ask Gonzi, ask Shad, ask MAS, ask your mom for all I care. We all were really looking forward to hearing some of his new tracks. brock
