This sounds like a very good option - I will look into this. This
might be an excellent option - I wonder if there are any size
restrictions - or what they consider old radio - seeing as my
collection is current?

There are no restrictions. They will host any file that is in mp3 format.

Ok! The first episode is up as a trial. Url is
http://www.archive.org/details/ImSorryIHaventAClue

Let me know what the opinion is. Is this preferred as opposed to
mediafire etc? Can others contribute I wonder and help build the
collection?

i think it's a good idea to have the shows stored on more than one
site---that way if we lose one, there's a back up. If you go with
archive.org, I'll opt for another.

Does anyone have an objection to my using megaupload as an
alternative? Right now non-paying folks can download files up to
500mb, and there isn't a single season of ISIHAC (or JAM for that
matter) of that size!

That looks very cool!
I'll put shows up here before mirroring them anywhere else. Perhaps we
could divide the duties by series...

Would you please tell me how you want things labeled---if we come up
with a standard form now, it'll make things simpler.

Is does look good! There is also an option to add multiple files -
which was a concern of mine at first - i thought it would be one at a
time BUT (and here I hope someone will help me) I don't think I have
created the page correctly - as I dont think I can add to that page
now. It seems I should create a page episode 1 series 1 etc. I was
intending to make a page ISIHAC - which would be a container for all
episodes - but I think it is my account which is the container. Hmmmm!
I am just a little uncertain of how it works exactly at the moment -
and therefore the best 'filing' system to use.

I've looked at your page at
http://www.archive.org/details/ImSorryIHaventAClue

In the "Resources" box, you will see a button marked "Edit Item". Only you
will see this button, because no one else is allowed to edit your page. You
click that button to edit the page, which allows you to either edit the text
description or to add more files.

The first you MUST do is edit the text to add this statement -
This item is part of the collection: Old Time Radio

Edit the Keywords also, so they read as follows -
Old Time Radio; OTR; Comedy; I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue; ISIHAC

Then a moderator will be able to pick up on the fact that this is an old
time radio page, and will make the necessary adjustments. This will take a
couple of days usually.

But meanwhile, you can also use the "Edit Item" button to add more files:
click the "Edit Item" button, then on the page that opens click on the link
marked "Item Manager", then on the next page that opens click on "checkout -
edit item's files (non-XML)". This will open a page with an FTP link on it
(you may have to wait a few seconds for this page to load): click the FTP
link ("Click to open a FTP window in your IE browser") to open an FTP
window, into which you drag a file (or several files) to upload them.

Make sure you only try to upload mp3 files. The file names must use only A
to Z and 1 to 9 and underscore: no spaces! Anything else will cause the FTP
transfer to abort. When you have uploaded all the files you want to, click
the HTML file in the FTP window that is marked "Click here when finished".

Hi
Downloaded the file easily and it plays fine so hoorah it looks as
though we have a new home.
I may be a good idea in the long term to put the files on both sites
so if one falls over there is an alternative

Just a thought but if cymro.gwirion@... has a PayPal account I
for one would be happy to make a contribution to the time and effort
it will take to upload all this again - It's not a payment so I don't
think it will affect any broadcasting / copyright issues - just a
gratia payment for a huge service rendered.
