HELP! Boston-based listeners and really smart web people…

by | Jan 3, 2005 | Announcements | 4 comments

Hey Coverville listeners! I’ve got a couple things I need help with, if there’s anyone out there that can assist:

First off, if there are any Boston-based listeners out there who can send me a copy of the Boston Phoenix article, I’ll PayPal you your time and shipping if you don’t mind mailing it out to me. Email me at brian at coverville dot com, and I’ll send you my address to send it.

Secondly, and most importantly, my feed is having some trouble adjusting to the new server. Does anyone know anything about a file server that isn’t letting MTEnclosures get the file sizes of my mp3s?

If you have any ideas, or further questions, email me at the address above…

Thanks!

    Sorry, I don’t live in Boston and I don’t know anything about MTEnclosures. I do have another idea/suggestion.

    While I appreciate the neat format of the names of your shows (“Coverville-2004-12-28”). It’s nice to see somebody else who understands how to name files so that they’ll sort properly.

    My suggestion is to change the name slightly so that when I view the Coverville playlist on my iPod, I can see the full date. Currently, I see “Coverville-2004-12…”

    (Caveats:

    • I just got my iPod for Christmas, so there may be some display settings I haven’t discovered
    • I realize that some coverville listeners may use other devices which don’t have this character limitation
    • I use iPodder for windows to get my podcasts. Perhaps it (or another tool) could modify the name for me

    )

    I picked up a copy at lunch. Shoot me an email with your address if you’re still looking.

    How about using a shorter date version:

    Coverville-040104.mp3

    However, Brian will have to write a script
    to rename all those files when Coverville
    celebrates its 96th anniversary 🙂
