any chance someone could rip the reposted web cast?

I have a Loooooooong flight (ok, not too bad, but I'll be having to deal with traveling for about ~7-8 hours) this evening, and it'd be great to have a recording of it....

ppppllllllleeeeeeaaaasseeee????

it's a real shame that there are those skips and glitches during the last two underworld songs bamboo and always loved a film...

I want those both on a CD so badly!

[crank]

So the webversion isn't clean?

[patrick]

nope. still quite glitchy... unfortunately

[Ufotofu]

It was a real thrill to hear NEU!'s "Isi" among all the new Underworld gems, as that was the first song I ever performed live with a band.

Well the glitches in Bamboo (and less prominently in a few songs before that) were from the encoder machine, as Malcolm told us in the chat. There should be no glitches in ALAF because it was fixed at the end of Bamboo. The only reason there are glitches in what I posted earlier is because of lost packets either on my connection or at my Akamai mirror. The Listen Again is always better because then there are local copies at the Akamai mirror, so there shouldn't be any dropped packets.

can anyone explain to a complete novice how they managed to have a alias of a quicktime file on the site that remote links to the real deal on an apple server somewhere without any indication in the source code of where it could be? and also why more people dont think of that...
all of these quicktime files automatically sound so much better when converted to mp3, and if the real mov could just be nabbed we'd have some amazing sound quality on our hands.

How can it sound better when you're going from low-bitrate AAC -> MP3? At best you'd have near-equal quality, and at worst (depending on the MP3 bitrate), you'd have a encoding-artifact sonic nightmare.

there is no .mov file that you can get to; it's just a link to a rtsp link.
