Since Charlie left TS has there been a drop off in the number of visitors/posters to the site.

I will admit that I have not been here to often since Charlie left particulary as I cant listen to Charlie anymore. The audio archives are good but can only listen to them when I am at my PC.

One other question, I am getting a CD-Rewriter will I be able to copy the archives on to CD and play them in my cd player.

Weird! It seems to have gone up, but with a different composition (as you'd expect).

By the way, you could have seen this for yourself on the Stats page. Smile

CD-writer: I've recently bought one, and it's been a major help in clearing the audio archive off my hard drive. I don't know how I coped without it! As for encoding an audio cd, I don't have windows at the moment (currently using FreeBSD), but I'll be installing windows soon. When I do, I'll try encoding an audio CD from one of Charlie's shows, and let you know what I discover.

If anyone else has already done this, please post and let us know what you did/used.

Well, although he has a healthy listenerbase in Cork, you have to remember that internet usage isn't as high as in the UK - they've only just (as of a few days ago) got any flat-rate access, and it's still not true flat rate (XXX hours per month for a flat fee).

Though the most probable reason is that most of the stupid Paddys can't use computers.

These 'thick micks' wouldn't know a keyboard from a piano

Yep, have you made any audio cd's before ?

Alot of "ordinary" audio CD players won't be able to read a CD you make on the computer - even when written as a standard audio CD - so you have to buy "CD's for audio" ... Actually just this second re-read the cover of one of these CD's and it says "for maximum compatiblity with digital audio cd *recorders*" so it might apply to domestic audio cd recorders only, not PC cd writers..

However, I think it's just bad wording, and really applies to all audio players (in this context, the cd-writer is the audio recorder)...

Anyway, I digress.. basically, test that your audio cd player plays the CD's before you write loads of them, and if it doesn't use a audio-cd (they are harder to find than normal writeable-cd's, and are a little bit more expensive, but you can get them in Comet/Currys/Dixons etc.)

As for the specifics of the charliewolf archives, you need to convert them to a WAV format so that you can write them to the CD.. I don't know of windows applications that will do this, but there must be some (after all, the "conversion" is virtually the same as you would do when you actually listen to the audio - you just want something that does it quicker than "realtime" - i.e. you don't want it to take an hour to convert an hour long show!

Perfectly doable...even on windows (!)

As a footnote, don't bother with audio cd's at all! I don't!

Get a mp3/wma player for your car/home (I have!)

Then just convert the shows into wma/mp3 instead!

Yeah, Jamie's last suggestion would be your best solution, hereintheuk.
