Do you mean Bon Iver?

Haha, yes! My phone auto-corrected i guess

Its bon iver, amazing band.

My stream is running live now, doing some music until the show gets closer.

I am currently using streamripper on the stream, and will change the "now playing" to 2013-09-16 - Dark Matter with Art Bell - First Show - Michio Kaku when it starts so the file will have the correct name. I'd suggest others rip it just for fun

So, tune in, it should be a wild time

actually, i'm still in morocco, but with my ass fountain and whatnot, i've been sort of limited to the house here. 

i think i'll be able to venture out and breathe the fresh fiat exhaust tomorrow.  anyone who thinks the usa is a disproportionately polluting country has never traveled.  we're among the most environmentally conscious people in the world.  the thought enters my mind every time i come here.

yeah, our emissions restrictions were light-years ahead of europe until just recently.

Ok, so I've grabbed winamp pro and xiialive pro.  No stream for dark matter(s) is showing for either at this time, 0734hrs.  Is this a function of the stream being live when the show is on and only then or I messing something up again?

i don't have mine running right now. check later today, closer to the show time.

WillieDee I use an iphone app called Internet radio Box, it lets me search shoutcast, how can I find your stream on there?

search "dark matters"

actually Art didn't post "tonight" on facebook, here is his exact post:
"Sirius/XM Entertainment section, then Indy Channel. Be there at 7PT 10ET for "The rest of the story"

some folks just assumed tonight, but i figured he meant for Monday Sep 16, his premiere broadcast.

yeah i guess we were a little too hopeful

I'm going to set the stream to The Conspiracy Show at 10pm CST, live from Toronto. See ya'll here tomorrow

I'm hearing a baseball player that's a recovering addict.   That correct?

no sign of art bell tonight, i guess it was a false alarm.. he posted on his facebook earlier that he'd be on tonight at 10pm ET for "The rest of the story"

weird. :/

I'll leave it running though.

I just checked this on my Kindle and got nothing.  I'm assuming it's no longer streaming 104, or else I just can't get it on my Kindle.  I'll check on my PC in a bit, too.

try using winamp on your kindle.

Quote from: SaucyRossy on September 15, 2013, 07:59:58 PM
On the talk channels yeah.....do you really expect the hosts to talk for three hours straight?!?

besides it helps with revenue directly for the show.

it could be some soothing Cusco 

Quote from: Morgus on September 15, 2013, 07:51:29 PM
I let the Sirius PC app player (running in Firefox browser with flash) play channel 104 for over 3 hours this afternoon and didn't find it timing out or popping up an alert in all that time. Perhaps they removed the timeout in the newer version of the PC app or it only applies to apps on other devices like Ipads or android?

good point about people needing a break...

Yeah, i'm running the new web app, maybe they finally figured out that a timeout was a terrible choice.

Quote from: Morgus on September 15, 2013, 07:48:20 PM
The stream is working fine for me using Winamp on my desktop PC, thanks!

i didn't realize there were ads on satellite radio... wtf

Quote from: widespread1 on September 15, 2013, 07:46:07 PM
so far its working brilliantly Williedee Thank you

fingers crossed that the webplayer doesn't time out haha.. i've read about a lot of people having problems like that. so if it goes out during the show, its cause i went to sleep lol 

Quote from: awguy on September 15, 2013, 07:36:48 PM
I saw that after I posted haha. Yes, I'm listening right now Via Winamp and your stream sounds great!  I'm assuming you'll be running this tomorrow night?

My stream would be using one of those free shoutcast servers which can be unreliable at times. I think you said in an earlier post that you are running your own server. You're more professional than I am. I have no idea how to run my own server, let alone have any real bandwidth to do so.

I'm just experimenting to see what works, not really sure how the webplayer will work tonight, i hope it doesn't time out. If you want to stream, i can provide all the bandwidth, you'd just need to send the source to me (takes hardly any bandwidth to do that). What were you going to stream with? A radio hooked up to your pc?

Quote from: awguy on September 15, 2013, 07:21:58 PM
I've played around with shoutcast a bit in the past. I am seriously considering setting up a stream for the show this Monday night ONLY, because it's such a big night.

But it sounds like others may already be doing this. I'll be waiting for those links to be posted but if nothing transpires, I'll try firing up my shoutcast stream and post the link right here about a half hour before show time.

http://willstare.com:8950/listen.pls

i just posted this like 5 minutes ago.. let me know how its working for you.

Quote from: Renaldo on September 15, 2013, 07:01:07 PM
I clicked on the LISTEN link at the top, winamp popped up and I'm hearing commercials for SiriusXM.

must be working 

hey ya'll, i'm going to be *attempting* to live-stream tonight as a test... http://willstare.com:8950

ya

try tuning in right now, i'm streaming indy 104 from sirius right now... need some testers

as always, I will offer a shoutcast server that someone can broadcast to.  My only requirement for the broadcast source would be that its a 24kbps mp3 stream(it sounds fine for talk ). Other than that, I will take care of the rest.

I'm new to forum, so hello!

I'm in the process of going through my Art Bell collection, which is spread across many discs, and comparing them to the big torrent recently uploaded as well as widespread's new archive,  and I think have spotted a couple that don't seem to be otherwise available. eg.:

06-12-97 5 Art Bell Doug Ruby Interview - Doug Ruby - Crop Circles

I've listened to this one and it is decent quality and complete. Others I have found, but not yet verified are:

1997-11-04 - Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell - Edgar Mitchell
2001-02-06 - Michu Kaku
2001-08-29-Crop Circles
2000-02-15 Larry Dossey
1996-04-16 Open Lines
2002-02-15 Ingo Swann

Would love to share these if I can, since I have been enjoying everyone else's contributions. So if someone can please PM me some upload credentials I will do so.

many thanks

T-Mobile unlimited text, talk, data $79.00/month.

Hard to beat. I just signed up for 30 day FREE xm/sirius trial. We shall see.

i have the t-mobile unlimited data (5gb 4g / month) unlimited texting, and 100 minutes for $30, prepaid, no contract. bought a nexus 4 for $300 and am saving fistloads of money a month.

I can only put it on my copy site unless Willedee gives me some permissions to upload to a folder on the site.

Thanks again. This will definitely save my on the fly mobile data consumption.

i guess we know how we will be getting teh show files..

Here you go jazmunda https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/artaudio

thanks gandalf. i guess i forgot to do that haha.

Yeah, that site was made by some members of the art audio google group. You should check it out, there's a lot of great people there that would be very interested in your tapes.

Quote from: El Bee on September 12, 2013, 01:28:14 PM
Im exited about Arts new show, however, I have just realized that I CANT LISTEN TO IT!

I'm in the UK - How the heck can I listen? Will there be a podcast?

Where can I sign up to Sirius?

I don't want to rely on torrents as they wont exist for months or years.

Help!

I'd just hold tight and wait. After it starts, we can figure out what options will be available to those who don't subscribe, or who can't. It'll work out!

Quote from: jazmunda on September 12, 2013, 02:56:52 AM
It's Stan Deyo.

I don't mind funky audio. As long as you can hear a lost classic then that's fine.

Once again thank you so much for this service.

This is like Christmas every day.

Thank Mrs Widespread for allowing you to do this.

I too find all of this very exciting 

Quote from: DontFearTheReaper on September 12, 2013, 08:44:35 AM
So I put the list together of the tapes I have been able to find so far (I know some of the missing tapes in the official recordings I have must be in my house somewhere), and mikealden was kind enough to cross-reference them with a list of currently circulating shows. Here is my list of previously unavailable shows that I will work to transfer

Official Art Bell Coast to Coast AM Network Tapes:
050595 (Scallion) Tapes 1, 3, 4 - Still trying to locate tape 2
031997 (Hoagland) Tapes 1, 2, 4, 5 - Still trying to locate tape 3
072498 (North) All 4 Tapes
122198 (Dames) All 4 Tapes
093099 (Paglini) Tapes 1, 2, 4 - Still trying to locate tape 
051601 (Smith/Targ) Tapes 1 & 2 - Still trying to locate tape 3


Art Bell Coast to Coast AM - Personally recorded live from WLS-AM 890 unless otherwise noted
033100 (Hoagland) Joined in progress 60 minutes, includes Art's retirement announcement
041800 (Jim Berkland) Hour 1
042000 (Reed/Raith) Hour 1(This should be a significant sound quality upgrade over what is out there now)
042600 (Art Bell's "Final Broadcast) Hours 1-4 WLS, Hour 5 WTAM fair quality (some static in this hour but still istenable)
042700 (Mike Siegel 1st show) Hour 1
020601 (Open Lines) Hour 1
DATE UNKNOWN (Open Lines) 45 minute Art Opens a line for people who have tried to lick their elbow (seriously)

I also have 2 hours of an interview with John Lear that I never marked and have no idea when it is from. I will upload it, feel free to try to figure out when it is from.

It will be a bit of slog for me to transfer these, but I'll work on it. These are old, relatively cheap cassettes in some cases so I have to be very careful with them. Apparently there is a lot of interest in the 4.26.00 show so I am going to work on that first. I am going to save the 050595, 031997, 093099, and 051601 for last, as I really want to find the missing tapes to complete those shows before uploading them.

I am going to create a YouTube page for these shows and will upload them there. I enjoy hearing the commercials (and I don't want to spend too much time editing), so I am keeping them in. For anyone who cares, the official tapes were purchased off ebay in two separate ebay lots years ago (there are a couple Punnett Coast shows from 01 and one Hilly Rose show as well), and the WLS ones I recorded myself on little tape deck in my room as a kid. I'm glad I kept those, had no idea some of them were *rare*.

thanks for being willing to do this!

Willie, Is that easy to do?  Do you know how?

Its no different than ripping music cds.

here's a video on how to change your windows media player settings to rip to mp3 (assuming you're running windows 7)

How To Rip A CD To MP3 Format Using Windows Media Player

and here's an article about ripping.
http://portables.about.com/od/newsandviews/ss/how-to-rip-with-WMP.htm

Because i'm lame I made a script that copies the mp3's widespread uploads to a different folder where a podcast generator parses them and makes them available to download. So in theory you could subscribe to the podcast and get the new uploads automatically downloaded into itunes or whatever you use.

To subscribe just add this http://coast.willstare.com/podcast/feed.xml to your favorite podcast manager.

ah i see. you'll have to rip them to .mp3 files if you want to share them with us.
