Though its says it starts at 10.04pm, which is bizzare. Ever faithfull UK teletext has also mentioned it as well, claming riverrun news will be announed and album details possibly.

How the server won't max out!

The server WILL max out. this is gonna be chaos.

I wont be around to witness it tho

but i hope the dirty.org IRC server doesnt melt.

NME sez: "the show will be the latest installment of their broadcasts, which have previously been unannounced."

Wrong.

And anyway, maybe there's a reason they're not announced in the music press?

i sure hope the radio stream doesn't fracture to pieces...last time around, there were a few too many "in the wire"!

well it's bound to be madness getting on no matter what. that's why it's always good if someone can record the darn thing and distro it to the rest of us who just can't get on.

I wont be able to record it but I will assist in distribution (most likely over at RTSR).

hmm... will the vpro broadcast have a higher bitrate than uwlive? That could take the pressure away from the uwlive server if they are going to broadcast in 96 kbit/s.

For recording i will use streamripper-win32-1.61.19 with the following commandline:

streamripper.exe URL -a -A -o never -t -r 5555

That will write to a single mp3 with cue sheet (so no gaps), doesn't overwrite any files in any case and would automatically reconnect (so no heart attacks when the server goes down

) and set up a relay server on port 5555 so i can listen to it while recording and not use another slot.
(Will i actually use 2 slots when recording and listening without using a relay server?)

ohhh... i'm so excited!

Jan: thanks for the info with the stream rip. AFAIK, the 3voor12 programmes along with their BPM show are streamed at 160kbps, so youre free to hook up to that. Here's the page. You can listen to some of the shows now.
