I release mp3 files.

It sounds like a software and/or hardware problem on your end.

Is anybody else having the podcasts show up as mpg files rather than mp3? It doesn't sound like anybody is. I think I would have heard about this sometime in the last 4 months if it was a widespread problem.

I have downloaded the latest episode on three different computers and on my iPod and they all recognize it as an mp3 file, and play it as an mp3 file in iTunes, Audacity, Windows Media Player, real player, etc.

I don't think the problem is with the file format that the show is released in.

every computer I have ever downloaded them from have said mpeg not mp3. I have had to convert them in cool edit pro to put in mp3 player.

They are recognized as movie clips that are defaulted to open with quick time but yes, they work in windows media player and burn just fine in NERO.

are you using a mac to create these files? It might also be the bitrate, only 2 things I can think of.

Dr. Solar · Post by **Dr. Solar** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:33 pm

These are created with a PC, using Audacity. The bitrate is low, I think I encode at 64 kbps, maybe lower. I don't recall, I would have to check my settings in Audacity to get the bitrate.

These ARE mp3 files though. They are not video files or any other format. If your software is recognizing them as anything different, I don't know what is going on on your end.

well its been the same on at least 3 different comps so that's not the problem, right on for the info tho

My podcasts are not to be taken advantage of, if someone wants one of my cherished babies then they will just have to pay the cost.

figured out how ta fix the problem BTW, had to go save as: file instead of the movie file it was trying to save it as, then I just added the mp3 extension the the file name, presto, no need to convert.

Balls don't mean much without integrity.

Yea there's alot of integrity in using the same quote thats been quoted more than a Dave Chapelle Skit.

Nothing dishonest about being honest so I don't even know where that came from but ok.

The quote is ethically neutral. A person neither has integrity nor lacks integrity to use that quote.

"a lot"

Another great podcast guys. Loved hearing more about the Harbingers. Especially since I just yesterday completed my set of Harbinger by getting and reading issues 5 & 6 for the first time. (Kinda completed at least. I have the TPB of 1-4, so I've got the story and that's what is most important to me. Maybe someday I'll pick up the actual issues.)

Keep up the good work on the podcasts, I love 'em!

Cool! I only had the trade for the longest time, and only finally got 5, 6, and 7 about a year ago or so. The story is SO much better with all 7 issues than just 1 - 4.

Thanks for the kind words, it is great to hear, and motivating!

I'm curious, what are your big 5?

Jay Tomio wrote:Word Balloon - best interview podcast by far IMHO. The Newsarama affiliation simply has unequaled reach and Suintres is the best interviewer I've heard on a podcast in this hobby.

Around Comics - used to be my favorite, and I think they are slipping a bit but still awesome enough to hang on to top easily. Losing Skottie Young hurts. Older AC is hilarious. Still damn solid with Katers and Co.

11'olock comics - New but solid all around.

CGS - the godfathers - and the go to guys because they so prolific. They have to come out with 3-5 episodes a week.

Raging Bullets - DC goodness and life saver because the shows do last 2-3 hours.

I've never listened to Word Balloon, 11 o'clock comics or Raging bullets. I'll have to check them out. 2-3 hour shows generally lose me. Around an hour is the sweet spot for me.

I agree about Around Comics. I used to love their show more than I do now. Those older episodes WERE hilarious. I still like the show though.

Maybe I am listening to the wrong long podcast. I listen to Uncanny X-Cast a lot to keep up with the X-Men, and they usually ramble for hours, a lot of the time at the expense of getting to a point or solid content.

I wish I was funny.

Well, I just got my new iPHone, so I signed up for the Valiant podcasts. I also downloaded the old ones, and will listen to them.

Listened to the first three so far. My wife can't believe I am listening to podcasts about Valiant (she asked at first if it was Car Talk).
