Terrific episode!

PROS: Great tour of the LIOLI submissions. I enjoyed your V/O of the artists song comments. This is a terrific way to experience MacJams content as it allows me to listen to songs in a themed category with references to the artists so I can look up the individual titles (the song list is very helpful in this regard).

CONS: Highly addictive!

SUGGESTIONS: You might consider adding the song number from the MacJams database. Its fairly easy to locate an entry by typing "www.macjams.com/song/xxxxx." It might also be fun to read an excerpt or two from the comments other members have left on a song's page as a means of lead-in (or "lead-out").

Lastly, it would be fantastic to be able to subscribe to your podcast and allow my iTunes to download it automatically. I've no idea how to do this, but maybe someone else could provide the details?

I never thought of using the song id#. I guess I assumed they wouldn't need it since I was playing it for them.

To allow iTunes to access the podcast for download, you need to have the file on a website with RSS feeds and few other items I currently forget. The iTunes store gives the details.

At the moment I can't afford to set up my own domain to do so. Plus, I don't know if I would be stepping on the sysop's toes by doing that.

Perhaps if they provided me with the space somewhere here (nudge nudge wink wink) he hinted.

to listen to- enjoyed your commentary as well. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I did notice the compression degrading the overall sound quality, but I don't have any idea how to get around that one.

One way to fix the sound quality is to keep them a little shorter. (I had to compress this one to 32 kbs before I could upload it. I tried 3 times at 64 and after 15 minutes, I was kicked off the page. I assume the file was too big.

Secondly, this was so long I had to make it in too parts, then put them into a 3rd GB file, after Pooey gave me a tip regarding the 1999 bar limit.

I may have accidentaly put an already compressed file in and compressed again. I will try to listen on line and see haw it sounds.

Thanks again.

Man - this is a graet idea - I've listened to a bit of this, but will download and listen to all of this.

What a chamion of LIOLI you are.

I haven't had the courage to eneter yet, but you've convinced me.

Great voice over (R2D2 porn???).

I didn't plan to be a champion for LIOLI, butwhen I was making episode 2 I needed an theme and LIOLI gave me one.

Then for episode three I thought I would do LIOLI 3 since it was a current topic.

For the record, the R2D2 comment comes staight out of Pooey's song description.

Glad you liked it. Watch for episode 4.

This is such a natural fit with the LIOLI concept... and your relaxed, easy commentary is just right. I don't worry about a few techno-quality issues here and there; that stuff inevitably improves as you go. This is a lot of fun, and adds another dimension to Chikoppi's LIOLI challenge.

Yeah, you may not have planned to be a champion, Stooey, but it looks like you got the job!

Glad you liked it.

I'm working on Episode 4 when I can find the time. Without something like LIOLI I have to spend more time searching for and listening to songs. (It's a hard existence, but I struggle through it!

Thanks for including my song in your post. As I am not one for words I will reiterate a common refrain of the typical artist song comment that I frequently make. Further to that one that I think sums up succinctly why I make music - Thanks For Listening!

I enjoyed your entry into LIOLI 3.

Make sure you get your entry into LIOLI 4 to be included in that 'cast as well.
