The Nicecast 1.0 final has been released. It's a really neat internet audio broadcasting application for the mac. You can broadcast any single audio source (iTunes, DVD Player, Line in, your DV camera with the porn soundtrack playing...) over the internet. Anyone using an MP3 player (such as Winamp 2, 3, or 5, iTunes, Sonique, whatever) can tune in.
It's super easy to use too. (What, would you have rather I said "hella easy"?) Just open it, click the start button and choose copy from the edit menu to copy the server's address then paste it into an iChat message or something. It also supports a bunch of effects like reverb, echo, gain, and the like.
I will have a stream up for a few days. You can listen at http://blasphemy.unsanity.com:8000/playlist.pls (128kbps, max 3 users, it might be offensive or too goody-goody). More streams can be found here.

So I was listening to the Final Fantasy X soundtrack and then I read this post. Clicked on the playlist link and what do I hear but the Final Fantasy X soundtrack.
Well at least you have good taste. :-)
I'll check out the app when I'm at work tomorrow and have a bigger upload pipe.

Which Nicecast doc did you modify to point to the image of the Teletubby? I want to do something similar but couldn't find the appropriate string in the Nicecast plist doc.
Thanks.
Posted by: P.N.03 on December 9, 2003 8:11 AMHrm. Imagine if you were to be listening to someone else's stream and streaming yourself... and if your listeners were streaming too.... you could potentially listen to a string that originated 5, 10, 20 hosts away! :D

I did but *none* of those strings are present in the plist. I even trashed it in the hopes it was the plist for the beta. Sadly, no.
Posted by: P.N.03 on December 9, 2003 9:06 AMNever mind, all. I figgered it out. Seems as though the string must be added using Terminal.

Are you taking requests? If so, Monte Python please. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was nice.

Posted by: CREB on December 9, 2003 12:23 PMP.N.03 - let me give you a quick rundown on how preferences work in OS X. The plist preferences model has multiple levels of preferences. There's global preferences that apply to all programs, then there's application preferences (which is the plist that you looked at), and then there's default preferences, which are hard-coded into the application (or sometimes stored as a plist in the application bundle). If a preference isn't in the global or application preferences, it looks in the default preferences. And if a preference is never modified, it never ends up in the application preferences.
Thus, with these hidden preferences, since the application never modifies them, unless you add them to the preferences plist, they won't be there.
The easiest way to add preferences is with the 'defaults' command-line tool, but you can just edit the plist.
BTW, I love the FF game music. In fact, I've always wanted to get me a good collection of FF game music (and other good RPGs) but I never know where to look. Where did you get yours?
Posted by: kevin on December 10, 2003 6:38 PMI bought some FF music right from Amazon.com. They import them so delivery can take longer that other items. Also a little pricey for some, but a trusted reseller none-the-less.
I've also bought successfully from animenation.com.
No personal experience the below links but they were listed from a friend of mine on his company's site of which btw he has some self made FF remix CDs available.

Hrm. Nice Weird Al. You've been playing some songs that I didn't recognize *at all* even though I have the CD. I guess I just practically never play that one.
Posted by: kevin on December 10, 2003 9:44 PMAck! You're playing Weird Al's Rohemian Rap City, and the balance is off! It's playing like 75% on the right, and in my headphones it's soooo insidiously annoying!
Posted by: kevin on December 10, 2003 11:07 PMHahahah! That's the best thing I've heard yet! Fanfare 3, a 3-second fanfare from Chrono Trigger! :)
Posted by: kevin on December 10, 2003 11:13 PMYou just played a song about getting the wrong foot amputated, and it was listed as Weird Al. That wasn't a Weird Al song. You might want to change the song info.
Posted by: kevin on December 11, 2003 1:49 PMThe songs are entirely random and I haven't heard quite a few of them since I got my first iPod two years ago.
A lot were "acquired" so they have completely wrong tags. The ones labeled weird al are a very good example. People seem to think that every comedy song is by him. Some are by Cheech and Chong but I cannot identify them or the correct title for the mislabeled songs.
Posted by: Rosyna on December 11, 2003 9:39 PMWell, all the Weird Al ones aside from the one I mentioned (that I heard, at least) are Weird Al.
Man, I'd love to know how you got so much game music. I'd kill to have the collection you have!
Posted by: kevin on December 12, 2003 10:13 AMArgh! You just played part of HHGTG, and then went on to something else! Now I'm going to have to download the whole set off of my dad's computer at home to keep listening to it!
