Original Recording (finally!)

[Donna]

Yay!!

Just got a quicktime file of my tune done at O'Gara's.

Can anyone tell me how I can load this file to Songplanet or other server?

Thanks~

Quicktime? Eew ... Can't you get it in .wav or at least a decent resolution .mp3?

Finn ...

Finn ...

I think it's a movie Finn?

I think it's a movie Finn?

Do you, Steve? ...

[Donna]

Yeah, it's a movie. Or rather, it had to become one in order for the person to send the audio? Who knows,

I don't. You think quicktime sounds bad, Finn? I thought it was fine.

Ok...so I ask them to send it in wav or mp3 then.

I think I can figure it out from there. But if quicktime is all I can get, I'll give another shout.

Appreciato (and howdy there, Finn )

[FinnArild]

I thought it was sound, so Quicktime should be fine - but some sites may prefer .mpg or .avi instead.

[Steve]

Send it to me. I'll upload it to my site and send you a link.

Hey Steve ~

Thanks a lot. My apologies for delay in reply.

I'd love to send it - a weird thing happened, tho, the quicktime file disappeared

(which I blamed on the children); JF sent another, and it too vanished. I wrote him

several days ago asking for an alternative file... we'll see.

Why did the file vanish, I wonder? I clicked the desktop icon, the tiny window w/

JF's "movie" came up, which was promply replaced by a larger quicktime screen

w/ Mr. T and A-team and all this shyte. I clicked edit or file or something, then

open, then "recent" which listed my song. Clicked on it: "file not found".

That's what's happened twice. Is there a time limit on the file?

[Donna]

Just sent Steve a message asking how I can send him my (3rd) quicktime file -

before it vanishes again! I have great confidence if I can get the file

into Steve's hands, all shall be well, no disappearence or any marring will occur.

I'm posting this note as a sort of accountability factor to simply get stuff I've

done out there (recalling Lazz "audience wants to identify w/ artist's struggle"

against my Scandanavian perfectionistic streak).

And finally throwing in here the CD Baby guy's cool outlok: What might happen if I...?

Well I tried.

The newest Quicktime file stuck like the others. I was able to get one of the

(now) five files to stream - and Steve taught me this option applies only to

my computer. Seems the streaming has a shelf life of about 18 hours - today

when I tried the stream, the file "vanished". So I have three vanished files and

two stuck ones.

Therefore I'm done with Quicktime for now and will find

an open window elsewhere!

And PS: The main thing is I got to hear it...for that I'm really glad.
