Sometimes the technology can be so puzzling! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRjVeRbhtRU

For me it means something like "WTF". World Taekwondo Federation? Well, if that's what the young people are saying these days....I guess I have to go along

What does that emoticon, , signify? I have used it not knowing it meant anything special.

Keep movin', movin', movin', Though they're disapprovin', Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide! Don't try to understand 'em, Just rope and throw and brand 'em, Soon we'll be living high and wide. My heart's calculatin' My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the end of my ride. Move 'em on, head 'em up, Head 'em up, move 'em out, Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide! Set 'em out, ride 'em in Ride 'em in, let 'em out, Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide. Rollin', rollin', rollin' Though the streams are swollen Keep them dogies rollin' Rawhide! Through rain, wind and weather Hell-bent for leather Wishin' my gal was by my side. All the things I'm missin', Good vittles, love, and kissin', Are waiting at the end of my ride CHORUS Move 'em on, head 'em up Head 'em up, move 'em on Move 'em on, head 'em up Rawhide Count 'em out, ride 'em in, Ride 'em in, count 'em out, Count 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide!

Well, I succeeded with my first project! I may not have done it the easiest way, but at least it worked! Select a track. Determine the start and end times of the segment to be broken out. To do that, click the play icon and note the clock toward the bottom of the graph. Next click the Set icon. Enter the start and finish times. Click Ok. Go to File at the upper left and click Save Selection As. This saves it as a wav file. Once saved, click the title, right click and select Convert Audio Format. Save as an mp3 in the desired folder. I will have to play around with equalizing the sound. I followed suggestions to save at 90% capacity but it didn't really change anything in this instance. I guess that means the sound was already optimized?

Originally on Takoma, reissued on Lost Lake. Same album. Don't see it on the Concord site. They acquired Takoma along with Fantasy.

I would like to find these. I have Oceans (on Lost Lake or Windham Hill). He and Baden Powell influenced John Fahey's bossa nova phase in the early 1980s.

That's very helpful, Dan! I think I am at the lather, rinse, and repeat stage! I gather that I need to put all my markers for start and end first, and go from there? Do you just hear it in real time and do that at the breakpoints, or zoom ahead in the main window by moving the vertical lines right and left? Also, I am only seeing the Main and Control windows, but not the Sound window. Do I even need to see that at this stage, or is that something to see after editing, to judge the levels I should use? I understand your points about normalization. I will play around with that. I suspect that there will be a lot of floor noise as they were live recordings from a reel to reel.

Thanks, Dan. Turns out I was looking at Multisequence instead of GoldWave. I just now got Goldwave and saved a music file of mp3s as WAV files. Yes, I think my goal is like JSngry's. I have some homemade cds I would like to edit. Some tracks are 24 minutes long but they contain 5 or more songs. I want to break them up into their individual tunes. And if possible I would like to equalize the sound. It goes from loud to faint. Originally recorded on a cheap reel to reel, I believe.

I read the Get Help material with Goldwave to get started and did not understand a bit of it. It doesn't seem to even find where on my computer the file is coming from (Audio CD (F:). If this is so easy, can you tell me how to get started? Thanks.

I voted 11-15 but it's probably more than that, even though my post count on jazz is pretty small. But most of my visits are very short indeed. I don't have much to add --- I am more in the mode of learning from you. Always on the lookout for 20s jazz comments. I probably post most often in Miscellaneous-Nonpolitical, Politics, and Miscellaneous Music, which is where the copyright discussions most often take place instead of Politics for some reason. To me, that is a political issue. Anyway, it's a habit. Why was this thread revived from its last post in 2005? I am not even sure how you do that!

baptismal (and not just my expectations alone!)

"Are you sure you're not a pilot?"

"Vinyl will always be the format," says Anderson. "Albums are meant to be listened to on vinyl; vinyl is the most romantic form of music listening. The album cover, especially the foldout, is like the caviar experience of music. Nothing will ever beat the opening of an album, the pulling out of the inner sleeve where the lyrics are, the removal of the vinyl from the paper or plastic sleeve -- it is a priceless experience." He never saw a fiend like Joe Bussard pull down a mint condition shellack 78 from his shelves and spin it on his incredible sound system! Not romantic, but special! And the author doesn't seem to play up the wonderful experience of hearing music on the radio! With a knowledgeable host/guide. There's probably something to it when the author says that music is a more casual, throwaway thing when it is so ubiquitous. I don't see why the drive toward portability and convenience necessarily entails driving music off the radio. You're in your car, for crying out loud! What is so inconvenient about turning on a radio?? Before rock and roll, I thought the general popular music was not particularly aimed at teenagers. I thought rock and roll changed that --- a new music just for them, music they could rebel by. Maybe that whole thing is becoming passe? Maybe even the drive toward portability and ubiquity will become passe one of these days. Why wouldn't there come a time in the future when music is not directed at kids anymore because they just don't have the interest? Why wouldn't there come a time when popular music is more directed toward adults? I mean, if kids are "being different" by buying vinyl lps from the late 60s and 70s, that says something. I am 51 so I certainly don't remember the shellack 78 days. I grew up with the vinyl lp. I find cds to be convenient, and once I finally get on board with an Ipod or some other mp3 player I am sure I will love it, too, if only I can find the stuff that interests me most. I just hope the market doesn't drive some of the music I love out of existence.

Well, scarcity, inaccessibility, and oblivion are bound to become more portable and convenient too! That's how everything tends! No, if we can preserve music stamped on shellack, we'll come up with ways to preserve bits. I hope.

The article suggests that the market may become more nuanced. As demographics change with the graying of the United States, there's no reason to assume that the preferences of teenagers will forever be the most significant driving force. There is substantial interest in lps, and a large population who are not early adopters of ITunes and IPods and the like, who prefer cds with informative notes attached. There will probably be markets for a variety of formats. I am eager to see what labels in genres with small audiences will be doing. In Cajun music, I know of a small label that will not release even a 500 copy cd print run of music by a major historical figure, primarily because the cost per unit of 500 cd sleeves is too great, making it necessary to plan for a run of 1000, which they don't think they can sell. The cost of a sleeve that is pitiful compared with the artwork on an lp is still enough to prevent release of the music. I hope this changes. The remarks by Garrett Kamps about his service and e-music were interesting. Subscribe to the service as you presently subscribe to cable TV, then select what you want. "For $15 a month, you can have all the music in the world, at your fingertips, on the go." That is certainly not my experience. I can't find almost any of the music I want on e-music. Labels might pick up the slack if they can afford to develop their own e-music like services. Subscribe to Swallow, for example, and their entire catalog could be available digitally. No need to mothball songs because you can't get a deal with a printer for professional looking cd sleeves. Users can learn to get their notes from a Web site in a printable format if they so choose -created and controlled for quality by the label. If you choose not to have the explanatory notes, you could still buy the music. If they wait until e-music picks them up, they are going to wait a long time or may not get picked up at all. A label could shift focus and costs from the mail order model to online delivery and promotion. Worldwide advertisement and delivery through the efficiency of the online environment could expand markets.

DOH! Thanks.

Where? Each link to the image of the album including the withdrawn songs (under 1963) seems broken to me. Thanks.

I remember that TV show the article mentioned! yeah, he was kind of light-hearted like Bobby Bare. Also, Looking at the World Through a Windshield was a pretty good truck-driving song. Bill Kirchen used to do it all the time.

Disconnected phones for James P. Johnson, Bunk Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, and Johnny Dodds...

Mark Polizzotti says it's Charlie McCoy playing the second guitar in "Desolation Row." Is the earlier, electric take on the recent No Direction Home set? I meant the official release on HWY 61. Always assumed it was Bloomfield! That's interesting.

They could only make me look better to Josephine, Mary Lou, and Ann-Margaret!

A pop song by John Leyton? I only knew him as Charles Bronson's tunnel king buddy in The Great Escape (one of the escapees by rowboat). I must have been flipping back and forth and missed Del Shannon.

Obviously Isle of Lucy with Josephine Baker Mary Lou Williams Uncle Dave Macon Ann-Margaret, and Nathan Abshire
