The links provided are surprisingly straightforward, if they do indeed work. The format of the audio (ASF, MP3, WAV, whatever) doesn't really matter, and I downmix most of the audio I grab to 64kbit mono anyways.<br /><br />Thanks for the links!aphttp://www.theunticket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-21042214820809039592012-06-11T22:22:51.293-05:002012-06-11T22:22:51.293-05:00You WAY overblew that Corby rant.

No thats right, you just don't care enough." Today Corby went on a fat person rant after reading the stats on the fattest cities in the US, with Dallas being 3rd (I think?) on the list. What makes this nauseating is that Corby does this from his mindset of "I am better than these people, I run marathons, and since they can not be as bad ass as me they deserve my wrath." <br /><br />Look, I get it, he is the Snake and that is what makes his on-air persona worth a big contract. But the guy is a serious ass hole. Often times he is a good example of the lily-white American that he so often criticizes. He is a family man with kids, a wife, a mortgage and he goes to church on Sundays because his wife makes him do it. But on the air he rejects his wife, says he does not believe in God and says that kids are "dream killers". Maybe its all a bit, but I think radio is Corby's way of dealing with the Chris Chris attitude he has at heart.6/11 Community Quick Hitsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-46313427125392035272012-06-11T16:06:52.253-05:002012-06-11T16:06:52.253-05:00"Entertaining and appreciated."

Perhaps this could be useful to AP and DP.<br /><br />As has been occurring gradually across the country, the heritage Cumulus stations (that is, not including the Citadel acquisitions) have been converting their streams from in-house "live Cumulus streaming" to StreamTheWorld. As mentioned in a previous post, this will offer AAC streaming for the first time on the Cumulus streams as well as making them compatible with iTunes.<br /><br />Direct streaming URL format to use to plug in to various media players:<br /><br />for 48 kbps 44 kHz stereo AAC - http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/CALLLETTERSAMorFMAAC.pls<br />for 48 kbps 22 kHz stereo - http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/CALLLETTERSAMorFM.pls<br />for 48 kbps 22 kHz stereo - http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/asx/CALLLETTERSAMorFM.asx (Windows Media Player compatible)<br /><br />Working example: http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/KTCKAMAAC.pls<br /><br />For the DFW market this affects KTCK-AM, KLIF-AM, KLIF-FM + KPLX-FM. <br />The former Citadel stations (KSCS-FM + WBAP-AM) have used the StreamTheWorld platform before + after their acquisition by Cumulus.P1bdogETXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-29056251528908639682012-06-09T23:19:19.524-05:002012-06-09T23:19:19.524-05:00Anon, you seem like a decent chap/lady. But there...Anon, you seem like a decent chap/lady. But there's no need to get so defensive. I guess there's no getting across the point to you that moaning about Plainsman's style of writing is like bitching about the Pope being Catholic: it (or he, in the Pope's case) just is what it is and there's no getting around it. So either you sift through it or you move on. No shame in that. Rail against an opinion of Plainsman's; say you think the blog is too slanted toward this or that. That's the sort of actual criticism that you speak to. <br /><br />I said that it's fine to criticize the writing style, once. Like you wrote, many readers are new and for them this is all fresh meat. Fair enough. But once the criticism of style is made, move on, unless it's addressed by someone else. Would you agree that our world is based far too much on style over substance these days? Isn't that a bad thing? I think so. <br /><br />As to the Grumby Anon Troll. First off, I didn't accuse you of being the troll. I was merely telling you how the accusation hurled at you might've come about. So let's get our facts straight before we fly off into Imputation Land. Indeed, I even apologized to you for the person(s) who did accuse you. Secondly, said troll is pretty easy pickings to spot out. Because, by your own words, you seem to be a new reader/commenter, you most likely have no idea about the troll in question. Sooner rather than later I've no doubt you'll "meet" it. When you do, you will know it. And it will present itself under various names and anons. <br /><br />Shaggy is right. Make up a name. It's easy! It's fun! <br /><br />Finally, with regard on how to deal with trolls: 'Preciate ya pal, but there's more than one way to skin a mule.ausgangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-84055182992799179092012-06-09T22:19:11.192-05:002012-06-09T22:19:11.192-05:00Hey, I'd never seen that site before.
