Radio broadcasts and music

I'd imagine the files before december of 41 won't be used, so that should cut down on the size.

If your looking for for the real musical stuff for those two or three years during the Pacific war it's not hard to find out what interested most all soldiers ,sailors.and airmen musically.

For one there was a very strong radio station in Hawaii that was pumping out music music music. FDR and dumb Hitler speeches were gathering dust next to all that swing. Apparently it was heard all the way over in Japan.Soon there were floating AFM stations aboard vessels that were flooding the whole South pacific with groove.

Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey,Benny Goodman,Lionel Hampton, The Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby,The Bob Crosby Band,.it goes on and on.....
Do a little research yourself.Look at Armed Forces Pacific Entertainment 43 to 45.

We overran the Pacific with music during those times.
I'm sure there were many a guitar,uke,accordian clarinet,trumpet,trombone etc onboard, stashed somewhere on ships as well as subs.
Music was as important as war itself for most all soldiers, and sailors, and airmen during WWII, Korea, Vietnam (my war) and now in Iraq.
When those subs had some open water,and a clear sky, and no Japs in the vacinity chances are you would hear the music before you would see that Gato.

Yup, take a look at

Scroll down to what's new, then click on music and other audio files. Then music from world war 2. About 70 songs

I cannot seem to get .ogg to play. I've downloaded a couple of utilities, but no joy. Is there something really simple to use that just plays them? I don't need to edit or anything, I'd just like to be able to hear them to identify them.

Media player classic.

The official OGG website over at http://www.vorbis.com/ exactly tells you what to do in order to play them.

It seems even windows media player can do it.

I did not try it yet but am gonna do it right now.

- - - - a little later - - - -

I followed their instructions and now my standard windows media player also plays OGG files

Good Site!!

So I missed a few.Miller,Sinatra,Dinah Shore,Tex Benekey...Perry Como, Krupa,.

From Guadacanal to Saipan at the end of a battle, at the end of a day, above or below the surface, someone cranked up a Victrola and put on some music somewhere out there

yes, of course and only few skippers will realy need the 24hour broadcast of DDay...

most of those mp3s are 32kbps mono, so 2gigs of that would be pure overkill! I think all these links we already have make a nice pool to pick the best out of it.

My focus is to play SH4 and not to listen to ALL broadcasts all day
