From: Max

Hi all. I am testing some new Radio Methods. Please check here from now till about 6 or 6:30pm EST today and tell me how it sounds. You'll need Real Audio of Course. Post messages in this thread to let me know the quality or any flaws that may be heard. Thanks.

Nice view, Max! I just heard your soundcheck and it sounded good. Yes, it was loud enough and the music sounds smoooooth!

Please note if you hear me talk vs. the music. Are they both loud enough?

sounds pretty good max. I seem to be getting more volume then "normal" - but that's good, because I have normaly had to crank you guys right up to hear you. voice is coming across well in addition to the muzac.

Better than usual here Max. I always find Bert hard to understand because he sounds like he is speaking way off mike.

The music sounds a little bit louder than your voice. Also, is it me and my RA Player...I keep losing the connection and I have the time outs set to the maximum? Have had lots of net congestion this afternoon on anything I've tried to listen to, but I will give it a go during the show anyway and right now.

Max, are you still on? I get a "Requested File Not Found."

Fairly solid on the check just now, Max.

Sitting On Top of the world ended and the stream seemed to stop at that point. Did you end it?

Sounds good here in Kentucky.

Other folks might have this small problem...sometimes when I click on a RealAudio link, istead of a window opening where I can see it, for some reason it's minimized. I always forget to look at the bottom for it.

Good luck tonight, Max.

Got it....Sound is quite good and picture is MUCH better it seems to me. Better real time action.

Max - upgraded video? Looks sort of black-and-white, but it may be that kind of day. It's far less "halting" than uusual. Max - I see you on the corner smoking! You look sort of Bob Dylanish... The music I'm listening to sounds good. I haven't heard you talk yet.

All I'm getting is a stuck picture of a white truck crossing the intersection -- wonder if it'll ever get where its going...

It is not the best time of day for me as I get a lot of net congestion (usually clear by MCR time). From what I have receieved, the quality of the picture is much better and there seems to be an improvement in sound quality, it sounds pretty god to me! I can't really pass comment on the balance between talking and music as it keeps going off due to the net congestion.

The video seems to be moving faster; but, it's a little hard to tell since it's raining! I like the improvement in the sound, Max -- Excellent!

I think Allan solved my problem, I reset my buffering to full clip and so far no lost connection messages! SOunds much clearer and the video is a lot better.

Play your CD, Max! I wanna hear YOU do S. Lee!

Max - your voice sounds balanced...well, the sound level anyway. I wonder if this waxing had caused a flurry of activity in the bidding on you, or whether everyone is saving their pennies until the bitter end. Wish I had more money - I could really have some fun with this...

at about 5:20 PM EST, the sound seems good quality. The spoken voice of the singer was fine, but the interviewer was rather hard to hear and understand.

That's Leadbelly's last sessions, the interviewer is hard to hear on the CD so that means its just fine. I'm surprised he's coming though at all.

Every time I've checked has been good...VERY good. Well balanced and a big improvement. I've been getting supper and checking, but everytime has been great.

Max, did you get the e-mail?

Video is great...the Mudcam!

Sound is kind of burbly now, like too much chorus effect...It's an on-off kind of thing.

Whoa, sounds like the space shuttle just took off, you're just having fun there aren't you!
