Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 05 Apr 08 - 01:32 PM 19:00-1910 Sounds of the Sixties The Folk Revival: Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen feature in this episode of 60s archive. [S] cut and pasted from the BBC4 website, Sounds of the Sixties appears to be a continuing series..that's about all I can find. cheers Charlotte (the view from here) |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: The Borchester Echo Date: 05 Apr 08 - 01:40 PM From Radio Times online: Sounds of the Sixties Saturday 05 April 7:00pm - 7:10pm BBC4 The Folk Revival Ten-part series featuring rock, pop and R & B performances from the BBC archives. The leading lights of the American protest movement, with Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Tom Paxton and Peter, Paul and Mary. It might be on the iPlayer an hour (or so) after transmission but if you don't live in the UK (i.e. don't pay the licence fee) you can't use it. (And you can't download if you haven't got bloody Windows . . . hiss) |

Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 05 Apr 08 - 03:43 PM About the only way I and others like me, who live outside the UK,can view this programme is hope that someone posts it on You Tube. :-) Charlotte (the view from here) |

I have no problem receiving BBC 4 in Spain. |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: The Borchester Echo Date: 05 Apr 08 - 04:39 PM Yes, of course you can view via satellite at the time of transmission but you can't use the iPlayer later. And this one isn't even on it "for copyright reasons". The Zimmerman clip was the one everyone's seen a kazillion times (I'll be surprised if it's not already on YouTube) and the Cohen was very well-known. So anyone who didn't see it has missed not a lot. |

Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: Ross Campbell Date: 05 Apr 08 - 06:50 PM Diane: "(And you can't download if you haven't got bloody Windows . . . hiss)" By download I presume you mean saving the file to your hard drive, or to an iPod or CD for playing later. I seem to be managing this via Apple's Safari browser. There is a smart piece of software called Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba which records streaming music from almost any source. It's available for both Mac and PC. Demo version is free, fully enabled version is 32 dollars (US). You can set recording quality from full CD-level to mp3. You could use it to record material from BBC, YouTube, MySpace, etc. I found the tutorials fairly easy to follow. There is a quick-record facility which I presume is for when you discover a live podcast already in progress. The old BBC player used to be a real pain to use. I couldn't get it to pause and restart, with the result that I would have to start a program three or four times from scratch just to hear the last few minutes. The new version seems to allow pause and restart OK. Audio Hijack mostly works straightforwardly. I only had one problem with it. A few weeks ago it just stopped recording. Despite all settings showing up as normal, no sound-level was shown in the meter-display, and nothing was being recorded to the nominated file. After leaving things for a week or so I find it seems to be working fully as before. Ross |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: johnadams Date: 05 Apr 08 - 07:19 PM BBC 4 is a tv channel - not to be confused with BBC Radio 4 which is... er... radio. I'll agree about Hijack. I use that to record all sorts of audio off the web and the timer ensures that I don't forget to access a particular stream if it's timed rather than 'listen again'. ...and it will record at high quality too. Recommended. J |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: The Borchester Echo Date: 06 Apr 08 - 01:12 PM Can Ross Campbell or Johnny Adams please come round and show me how to work Audio Hijack Pro? I got it to record the first time I tried after downloading it aa year ago. Then I made the mistake of reading the tutorial which is entirely incomprehensible and never again succeeded. The iPlayer doesn't recognise Safari. Neither does the appointments system at the Royal Free Hospital. It's an anti-Mac conspiracy. |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: mattkeen Date: 06 Apr 08 - 02:44 PM Diane - iplayer works with Safari 3.1 on Leopard |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: The Borchester Echo Date: 06 Apr 08 - 02:53 PM I should have said: iPlayer doesn't recognise Safari for downloading. As far as I know it works on any (recent) browser for playback |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: johnadams Date: 07 Apr 08 - 05:59 AM Audio Hijack is problematic with Safari and only works sometimes. I use Real Player to log on to the web site downloads I want to record and then set Audio Hijack to capture the Real Stream. You can also install a plug in to AH so that it will instantly record anything you happen to be listening to. Diane, try the Real Player route and see if that works. If you need to install the plug in PM me and I'll assist. I'm back in UK on Wednesday and can look at my notes to see what the plug in was. Johnny A (Sweating it out in Singapore!) |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: The Borchester Echo Date: 07 Apr 08 - 06:17 AM Ah, so it's not me!! Johnny, I'll try it with a different browser and Real Player first. Then I'll pester you again if still in trouble. |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: johnadams Date: 07 Apr 08 - 09:37 AM I'm not sayin' it's not you. I'm sayin' it's not necessarily you! :-) Good luck! I'm standin' by. J |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: scouse Date: 07 Apr 08 - 10:14 AM I have a old version of sound Forge and I set it to record. Set my audio config to "What you hear." open up BBC Radio page press listen again and Wham..... I can record the wave file and listen in my own time. As Aye, Phil. |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: johnadams Date: 07 Apr 08 - 10:16 AM Is that on a Mac Phil? J |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: Captain Ginger Date: 07 Apr 08 - 11:42 AM For audio capture on the Mac I use WireTap, which is freeware and does the job simply. I'd love to know of something similar for video on the iPlayer, though. |
Subject: RE: Tonmight: BBC4 60's folk From: Ross Campbell Date: 08 Apr 08 - 10:49 PM Diane - Just got back to this thread. I've used Audio Hijack to trap podcasts, mp3s, CD clips and BBC and other radio "play-again" programs. Like the program claims "anything you can hear on your computer". Apart from the glitch I described, it seems to do what it says. When you call up your required program, Safari opens up a new screen with the iPlayer/Real Audio/Quicktime controls as appropriate. Usually you can pick the point in the program where you want to start (on the time-slider). Set that and press "pause". Open Audio Hijack. Adjust the AH and program screens so that you can see both at the same time. On the AH screen, left hand side "Component" column shows Recording Bin and Quick Record at the top, with a list of potential sound sources below. (I can't remember now, this field may be blank when you first start using AH). Currently showing on mine are DVD Player, Finder, iChat, Real Player and Safari. If the one you want isn't listed, look for the "Session" drop-down menu at top of your screen (click the cursor on the AH screen to activate it). Clicking on "New" brings up a new entry under Components: (No Application Selected). In the panel to the right, with "Input" active (shaded), the top "Select" drop-down allows you to choose the source you require (One of these should be the one your program is sitting in - pick that one). I haven't needed to use the other facilities offered. Click on "Recording". The "Format" option allows you to set the quality of your recording. The higher the quality, the more storage space will be used. With the streaming music setting, I find I can transfer the resulting recording to CDs which will play on my (ageing) stereo set-up, where mp3 files would not be recognised. Most modern dvd/cd players and computers will cope with mp3s. Under "Files", I default the destination to Audio Hijack. The recording eventually appears in "Recording Bin", where it can be selected for replay, editing, burning to CD, etc. Name the recording how you like. I don't use any of the other options. Clicking the "Hijack" button in the top-line of the panel sets eveything ready to go. Clicking the "Record" button activates the recorder. A timer appears underneath the button and may start to run (this doesn't always happen, sometimes the timer is activated by the sound-source starting off). Click back on your sound-source screen to activate the screen. Click on the "Play" button (right-pointing triangle at LHE of the time-slider). Your program will begin to play. The meter-display (to the right of the "Mute" button on the AH screen) should show varying blue lines indicating the sound level. Some sources seem to de-activate AH at the end of the program. On others I have found the timer under the Record button still mounting up ages after the source has ended. This doesn't affect the amount of storage used, no more sound = no more store required. That's it. Sit and enjoy the music. Or go away, make a cup of tea, knowing your recording will be there when you come back. Or click on the "Mute" button and sit in silent contemplation. Your options are endless. Oh, all right, three. Good Luck! Any queries - I'm going away for a week. Will try to remember to call back! Ross |
