I ripped the mp3 files from em411.com/radio.php
file: REMOVED for 404 - SORRY!
its malformed XML file but XSPF format i think?
anyways, the VALID files are 1.77 Gigabytes. a whopping 3 hours of tunes.

I disliked a whole two of the songs there and won't say which. Point is, its nearly all printable, finely made and pretty amazing when you think about a whole music industry full of complete junk this last four years (or a few decades?)

Point is signal-tonoise -> em411 == REALLY GREAT ! !

Thanks to everyone for making music to code by / play by work by whatever

the doors.

ok, thanks! i totally missed that one.

"the doors."

not that important then.............*sniggers*

wow
avoiding narcissism and all that it's really neat to imagine where your tracks actually end up on the internets, without even knowing where they've gone?
I had a friend who had some music end up on college radio without knowing about it,
CREATIVE COMMONSH, TURN EM LOOSE

yeah, I remember being fully confused once when one of our songs came on some random internet radio station while I was working, it was pretty gratifying

Heh, I used to cover that Doors song in high school. We did a 20 minute version of it. I sang (it was one of two songs we did that had vocals).

I'm continually amazed by the high quality of the EM411 releases. I was oontzing over them a few months ago in a blog entry. Glad someone else has decided to continue the group hug.

As for downloading the relases for a podcast, I do the following python script (called "scrapemp3s") to get the mp3 urls:

#!/usr/bin/python

#$Id: scrapemp3s,v 1.2 2007-08-27 23:08:03 ken Exp $

# a silly script to harvest mp3s from links

import re
import sys

line_re='.*"(http:.+mp3)".*'
line_re2='.*>(http:.+mp3)<.*'


for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
m=re.match(line_re, line)
if type(m) != type(None):
print m.group(1)
m=re.match(line_re2, line)
if type(m) != type(None):
print m.group(1)

----

then I call it as follows (on linux):

lynx -source link | scrapemp3s |while read i; do wget -c "$i"; done

A few hours later I have the whole set of em411 releases. On to my MP3 player it goes. Much better than radio.
