Re: [gutvol-d] What the Hack?! and other conferences next week
Hello. I am blind so the video does me no good at all obviously. Yes, I would really like to hear just the mp3 audio of a lot of the presentations. There seems to be another done by Greg Newby on the same page. Also, why not upload the presentations to the Internet Archive since the files have a CC license? I think they generate mp3 from the mp4 anyway. Just the audio would be very appreciated. Why not post just the audio to PG? You could actually post both but the huge video file might deter people with limited disk space or slow connections. I think it would be nice to see more audio of various sorts being posted anyway.

The files are very big.
If anyone on dialup or a slow connection would like to hear the presentation, please let me know and I can put it up as a small mp3 or windows media file if the video is important to you.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't know about PG adding more audio files. I'll let the people who are smarter than me decide that one. However, you can snag the mp3 file at http://www.aaronandgabby.com/pg.mp3 . If you want to stream it, then just drop that link directly into your mp3 player, assuming it supports streaming mp3 files. Whatever you're going to do though, do it soon. I don't plan on leaving the file up there for more than a week. Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 03:22 AM 9/12/2005, you wrote:

I'll make a point here that the audio files we do have have turned out to be a bit of a pain from the catalog viewpoint. There have been various error reports about them being incomplete, having misnamed files, or otherwise lacking. Here is an excerpt from a recent email:
It seems to me that starting with file 8 of the audio book "A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" all the following files belong to a different book. Or am I mistaking??
From my point of view, I would prefer that PG had just stayed with text, and left audio files up to some other project that could handle them better.
