If any of you have ever visited my comic (yeah, like THAT'S ever happened), then you might have noticed that I have a Winamp station that readers can dial up on their Winamp players and listen to some groovy tunes whilst they read my comics. And I just had a cool idea... what if we had a Keenspace Radio station that we could all put on our sites? We could make radio promos for our comics and things like that! Would anyone be
interested in doing that?<P>Tune in at <A HREF="http://166.90.143.152:12476/" TARGET=_blank>http://166.90.143.152:12476/</A> <P>------------------

Well, I'm no songwriter, but I <i>would</i> like to get behind a mixing board again. I did a <i>lot</i> of production and voice-over work for my old high school radio station, and so would <i>love</i> to crank out a few promos for myself (and, possibly, others). So yeah, count me in!<P>------------------

I could have <I>sworn</I> I replied to this yesterday.<P>I think it's a great idea. Check Neon Umbra and Penny Arcade for some examples of how this can be done.<P>Anyone know a good way to make mp3's from CDs? I have some friends who have CDs, and I'd like to get it on my computer.<P>------------------

Yeah, PDI. You have to download an Audiograbber type program. I have one. It is only the beta version, though. All you do is put the CD in the drive, and run the program. Then it turns them into mp3s on your computer. It is really cool. <P>------------------

Well, hey, not only am I in a band, we've recorded six or seven songs. We're not on MP3.com, though, because I really am not fond of their little rule that gives them the right to distribute my work in any fashion they deem necessary forever... :) I'm interested in this, though.<P>------------------

Someone start one up (I have no idea what's involved) and show us how to work it, and we can host it on GEAR.<P><P>------------------

Yeah, me too--if I had the facilities. I don't. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif"><P>But I still want to do some ads. And maybe a song. I can write it using the two chords I can play on the guitar! But definitely ads.<P>P.S. I just wrote a song about Keenspace to the tune of "Louie Louie." So make that <i>three</i> chords! Whoop!<P>------------------

Cool. I've been working on a soundtrack for my comic strip. The tracks have gotten bad to indifferent reviews. Now I can force people to listen!<P>------------------

If you don't like the songs I pick, I guess I could give you the password too so you can upload some songs you like <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P><P>------------------
