Hey Espen,
Once done, please advise what a 'Torrent' is!
Meanwhile would it be possible to post your episode 400
on Mediafire using the links page? I've been disappointed
so many times with episodes masquerading as this one
that I don't fancy downloading a decades-worth of files
just to find out it is the usual 'Garden Words' or one
of the other files that this has been mis-posted as in
various places in the past (see my previous posts). Part
of this episode, I believe, is on Silver Minutes, and it
sounds really, really good.
Here is my list of missing files for anyone who might like
to help, or indeed, would like any gaps filled:
3,4,5,6,9,11,12,23,34,36
182,195,259,307,309
364,383
400,402,417
701 (my own recording has been corrupted somehow)
As everyone will be aware there are several episodes that
are of such poor quality they are almost unlistenable to
and certainly detract from (mine, at least) the listening
experience. I have recently been transferring all my files
to DVD as a back-up and have found that many of these
same poor quality files play a lot better through a cheap
DVD player and mono TV output. I wonder if anyone else has
experienced this? - So far the improvement is most marked on
414 'Biscuits In Bed'. The drawback of fitting hundreds of
files onto one DVD is the variation in loudness of different
types of original recording which can suddenly wake me up
blasting out an hour or two after I've dropped off.
I digress. I'm making a list of files which are not of the
quality I would hope for with a view to getting the best
quality recording of every episode. I know not everyone
cares about this, but if anyone else is of a similar mind
I'm happy to correspond. I must stress here that I don't
count a file as poor quality because, say, part of the intro
is missing - basically I'm happy if an episode is complete
from the introduction of the first subject to the end of the
last. If the player introduction is included nd the scores at
the end then all the better. I probably should add that I
doubt the work Martin has done on some of the earlier episodes
is ever going to be improved upon and accept that the early
days are going to be somewhat ropey and that few. if any. new
recordings are likely to come to light. I'm really interested
from series 6 onwards.
