Interview StuffTony is one of those people with a great voice. He also has some great things to say. I took a day off work for the first time to do this intervew–and Fred’s which you’ll hear more of in Show #8. Pushing AudacitySo, I set a personal record with this show. I am learning that it’s supposed to adversely affect your sound quality each time you encode from Audacity to MP3. So I’m trying to line up everything in one series of tracks in the same session. That wouldn’t mean such a big thing, except with all the clips and commentary for the 2nd Song Contest, I have over twenty tracks to line up time and mix together! I first thought my laptop was “swapping” (memory to disk) as the disk light is going crazy and the machine is hanging for minutes at a time. Now I think it was the disk “thrashing” from one location to another to another as it tried to play so many different files that must have spanned a good way accross the disk–all in a small space of time. Hard to explain, but I know what I mean.

I apologized in this section of a recent Technicalities entry… and it’s time to apologize again. I positioned the microphone too close to Tony’s mouth for his interview. I was pretty sure it was too close after a few minutes, but for some reason I thought it ‘d be rude to stop him. Arggh!
Podcasting has introducted me lots of new stuff. Wordpress, Drupal, iTunes, RSS and much more. I made a rare “hardware” purchase.
After months of listening to podcasts only on laptop and desktop computers, I now have a good MP3 player.
I bought it on eBay for a good price. It took a while for it to arrive from Hong Kong, but it works well.
I can put MP3’s in subfolders and they still get found and played. I use it as a “pen-drive” thingy to transfer movies and photos from my camera to computers. Since it takes my SD card, I ‘m getting twice the use out of them. Since it has a built in USB plug, I don’t need to carry around a cable or docking station. It has loads of information on it’s LCD display like min:sec of current song, number of songs in total.
A feature that’s very useful for me when listening to podcasts is “fast-forward”. My first MP3 player was a real cheap-o and if you accidently bumped the “next song” button after 20 minutes of a podcast, you had no way to get back to where you were except by replaying the same 20 minutes again. Also skipping past songs and bits you listened to previously makes it handy. Of course the next feature would be for it to “bookmark” the exact location in a track so you can turn the MP3 player off and back on and go back immediately to the part of the MP3 where you left off.
I found all ya hafta do to make your own lyrics scroll by in time to any MP3 is create a file with the same name as the MP3 but give it a .lrc extension. Then put some stuff like this in using your favourite text editor:

“celebrating the uncelebrated”
and as always, thanks to Rob Costlow for kindly allowing me to use his brilliantly thoughtful and unique piano music which you’ll recognize as my signature tune in all my shows and throughout this promo.
So far FirstPersonShow has featured what I think should be the very best “hit song” from the best of the best independent artist I’ve found. I’ve scoured and searched, deliberated and daudled.. deciding which song to play from each artist. Now it’s time to play another song from an artist I’ve already featured. This is a first, so I thought I’d involve you the listener in my decision-making process.
Look on the right of http://FirstPersonShow.net and you’ll see a poll. Vote for your fave. The winner of the poll will be the one I play in the next show!
Brother Love’s Music featured on Show #1 1 CDs remaining, one to Loraine
If this was a regular “radio station” contest then your chances of influencing the vote would be tiny. Your vote would be one out of thousands, maybe tens or hundreds of thousands. But this podcast has less than 50 listeners (so far) so your vote really will matter. Let your friends know about the show, ask them to listen to the show with your favourite artist and see if they’ll vote along with you.
Arthur Yoria ’s Music featured on Show #3 one CD left
Email me or click here and leave a note at the bottom of the page if you want to be entered in a prize drawing for a free CD from one of the Second Show musicians!

(I’ve already got two autographed CDs ready to give away to one of you faithful listeners!)
Julie’s Music featured on Show #5 Bob claimed this signed CD
