Music for the Gramaphrone

[JayW.]

Hi, Guys. Instead of listening the radio, you can hear American "Swing" music on your gramaphone too. I found this awesome site, http://www.tuxjunction.net/tuxedo.htm . Get the songs quick because they are changing formats, a format that you can't d/l the songs.

YEHAAA! but hey where do YOU! get the songs...Dls I mean? I cant right click nothing...

[Lionman]

Same here JayW! We need your esteemed advice as to how to DL music from this little gem.

[JayW.]

Click on the jukebox button and click on the artists' names on the left-hand part of the screen. Choose your song and when a windows\ opens, copy thw link anf put it on the Window Media Player. Finally, right-click and click on save target as. It works on the old format only.

Following your instructions precisely, when the song window opens the address link remains the generic one to the top level of the site and right clicking on the player module itself doesn't produce a seperate link either, but if one selects "open in a new tab" then there is an address for the song link itself - so I guess that's the "missing link"! My other question is embarrasing for an old salt in the sea of computing but where on earth is the address entry bar/window in Windows Media Player 11? DOH

Right click anywhere on the top bar (not the menus) for the context menu. Go to File, then open URL.

Many thanks! (Crushed with embarassment.) Um . . . I'll try that then.

Nope - no good. All I get, on the (otherwise excellent) Tuxedo Juntion website, whatever I do is "Right Clicking is Not Allowed". I am using the latest Internet Explorere 7 and the latest Windows Media Player 11. If I open the page, copy the address and paste it into the "Play URL" option in WMP I get a warning that WMP cvannot play this file due to it requiring some codex WMP doesn't have, with no option to idenitfy, download or find what they actually are. So . . . . . no go.

Someone had posted the Honululu radio station mod and it had 6 download folders of about 15 songs of music and instead of making a radiostation I just tossed them in my grammophone. They're great songs, keep the crew's spirit's high!

So where can I get the "Honolulu Radio MOD" please?

There was an excellent real-time genuine 1941-1945 radio programs MOD which I downloaded but the zip was corrupeted and now I can't find it in the Forums and can't remember what it was called, although it had the creator's name in the title I think. Can anybody remind me please? Or is this the MOD you were talking about?

I went and found the mod but nvdrifter had removed it due to copyright concerns. Keep in mind that any radio mod such as Captain Cox's CBS News radio mod can be used the same way. Take select songs you like and copy them to your gramaphone folder.

[CaptainCox]

Exactly what i am doing myself, at least until the issue with the music not stopping when a news "event" occurs. Hopefully patch 1.2 will fix that...

[DeePsix501]

I havent had any problems with your mod CaptainCox. Somtimes when I time compress the music may overlap a little, but it is so faint and in the background that it sounds like interference from other radio stations so it doesnt bother me.

[CaptainCox]

For some odd reason the "news" and the "Music" have the same volume now, this happened after I did a reinstall of VISTA. I checked all the settings but still the same. So out of pure annoyance I went with the "Gramophone" concept, its OK as you just hit the stop button as soon the news starts.
