Just email me at thetastates@gmail.com. I am interested in all types of events, and will travel almost anywhere if flight and accomodations are covered. I'm not too hot with computers. A bit of help please? THE MOST IMPORTANT PART If you are having any technical problems or are nervous, ASK A FRIEND. 50% of the first-world population knows how to download music and put it on an Ipod, and there is no substitute for having a friend/roommate/child there with you to show you how to properly download and enjoy the music. Downloading the mixes All of the mixes can be saved to your computer! If you don't have your computer set up properly, just clicking on a mix link might just start it playing in your browser or in an external music program. If you like that, cool. But you should know that you can also save the mix on your computer. In Windows, just use the right mouse button to click on the link. There should be an option like "Save Link As..." or "Save Target As..." so choose the one that makes sense. It will then ask you to name it and where to save it. Leave the name, but I recommend just saving it to you desktop if you don't know where else to put it. Getting mixes on to an Ipod/mp3 player CPI mixes are perfect for the gym, road trips, long hikes and evading the authorities through the wilderness. The first step is to download the mixes to your computer. Do you see them? Did you save them to your desktop? If you use an Ipod, chances are you are using Itunes. Open Itunes, and click-and-drag the mixes in to Itunes, placing them wherever you want there. Then just sync up your Ipod, and they should now be there. Burning mixes to CDs Most CD-burning software will let you burn an MP3 as an audio CD! It's true. Just start a new audio CD project, and drag-and-drop a mix in to it. Voila! The only issue is that CDs can't be longer than 80 minutes, so you won't be able to burn the longer mixes on the site. Alas... Many newer cars have CD players that will read MP3 discs, so for those you can burn a number of mixes (600 MB!) to a single disc for hot in-car action. Downloading the MP3 blogs You can subscribe for the new updates via joining the facebook group, an RSS reader like Google Reader, checking the blog weekly, or just going straight to the list of files. At the list of update files, download them by clicking on each one. Or, use a download manager for batch downloads of an entire month or year's worth. If you use Firefox, I recommend using the DownThemAll extension. Filtering the MP3 blog entries If you use a program like Itunes or something equivalent, drag all of the songs in to a new playlist. Then click on the "Genre" tab to sort by genres first. This will allow you to focus on genres of music in the blog that you are most interested in. When you are pressed for time, just go for the styles you know you'll enjoy. Don't fret. You can go back for the others later. What's this about buying books? Oh this? My hope is that one day when a fan is feeling generous and they are perhaps a bit drunk at their computer, that they will buy me an art book from my Amazon.com wishlist. I have a thing for art books.
