New Opentape WIRED CD playlist

In celebration of the WIRED CD disks we have had floating around the stacks for so many months now I've implemented an Opentape playlist for the WIRED CD 'empeethrees', all of which are freely available from the first two links in the following copypasta block, and here at E.T.Truck on our WIRED CD Opentape page.



Here's the E.T.Truck WIRED CD Opentape embed code:

<object width="300" height="160">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="http://ettruck.com/tunes/Wired_CD/res/jw_player.swf?playlist=bottom&displayheight=0&thumbsinplaylist=false&file=http://ettruck.com/tunes/Wired_CD/code/xspf.php" />
<embed src="http://ettruck.com/tunes/Wired_CD/res/jw_player.swf?playlist=bottom&displayheight=0&thumbsinplaylist=false&file=http://ettruck.com/tunes/Wired_CD/code/xspf.php" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="300" height="160"></embed>
</object>


Here's the page that the embed above is referencing. After that page loads left click on any song title to start playing and click again to stop. Just right click on the mp3 tags to save the ones you want to your storage media of choice.

Audiocasting

By audiocasting I mean broadcasting audio content over the internet. Podcasting is what most people think of, but many sites stream music without being a podcast. Many social networking sites allow members to build and share playlists. This is a very popular activity, and many artists and big labels think they are getting burned, when actually they are getting free publicity and being broadcast in a new medium.

When radio first came on the scene most big labels were against their music being broadcast because they feared no one would buy records if they could listen to the songs on the radio for free.

Now we are into new technologies and instead of radio stations we have people sharing their favorite ear candy by embedding it into their "FaceSpace" page, on web sites, and emails.

There are many applications that audiocast content on web servers and generate embedding codes to be shared.

Opentape has become popular in Ekone, and it is time to state how we use it. All content in our playlists are either in the public domain, or are copyrighted by the people whose works are in the lists, and who are grateful they are there ready for "air" play. The owners of the songs retain their copyrights and distribution permissions. We get content. People get get music and information. Win-win-win. Nobody's losing.

Instead of a few hundred radio stations broadcasting to America, we now have millions of micro audiocasts in a myriad of flavors going out all over the planet over internet technologies.

For downloads the distribution permissions we follow are that the person downloading the music must agree to not sample or sell the files and explain the deal to anyone who they share them with. Working musicians are allowed to play any of the songs in their shows as long as credit is given to the songwriter and a recording of the show, or at least of the set the song was in, be sent to the songwriter.

That's the deal for content that is "broadcast" in forms that allow downloading.
