    So Does Anyone HAVE THE ESSENTIAL SELECTION? its usually hosted by pete tong


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭Rollo Tamasi


    works fine for me johnny, just downloaded it again there


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 notorious546


    So im Assuming no1 Knows how to read the question....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    It's available to stream for 7 days after broadcast on the radio1 site.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/radio1/aod.shtml?radio1/essselection

    You'll need real player or media player classic to stream it and bit rates are < 90kbps. There are apps for recording streams out there if you want to rip it...

    I never miss it, but I don't have a tuner card on the PC, so I never record it either. The buzz charts and the hot mix at 8.30 are always worth blowing the speakers for...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 notorious546


    I cant seem to find one that will rip the stream for free

    know of anything that is free and will rip at a good quality?

    THANKS

    All depends on what type of soundcard you have. I used to use something calle OPd2d, but it doesn't work on my current external soundcard.

    As for qulaity, it's a compressed stream....certainly not FM quality, and you won't be ripping tunes from it to play out, if that's your intention.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Christ on a bicycle...anyone listening to this travesty?

    Scissor Sisters sitting in for Tongy...and they're sh*te, utter sh*te.
    I like some of their stuff musically, but very litle of it falls into any category of dance that would qualify them as hosts for this flagship show.
    They are brutal presenters and the tunes so far have been deplorable. Text ins? Porn names? Cheering in the studio like 12 yr olds? Fook that...

    There's also talk of the ES being cut by an hour and not starting till 7....I like the way BBC shake up things every few years but there's some things that simply shouldn't be messed with...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 notorious546


    yes this essential selection is getting weak

    atleast i think the songs are still picked by pete tong?

    well anyways if he doesnt play on BBC he might get some more coverage Globally like from internet or like satellite radio


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Songs were picked by these gimps from what I could tell....I switched off after 40 minutes....the first time I've ever done that.

    At least it's just a one off.

    He'll still be playing R1, it's just that the show is being cut from 3 to 2 hours.
    He already gets global coverage through R1 which is available globally on the net and by satellite. The man makes far more money from live sets and I think he prefers it that way...

    So u think u could somehow get a copy of the LATEST essential mix every week in MP3 format?

    cause then i could listen to it a bit more , kinda what i wanted to do


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    So stream it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 notorious546


    but i cant listen to it on my ipod can i..

    Do you know of a program that Captures any sound played through my soundcard or something like that , that will record the Essential selection?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    I already said waay back up the thread....OPd2d.

    Audacity has a ripping function too maybe...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,353 ✭✭✭radiospan


    You can download every Essential Mix, Essential Selection, Blue Room etc every week from themixingbowl if you know how to use BitTorrent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 notorious546


    i know how to use bittorrent but themixingbowl wont let me register as a user if u could send me an invite or something?

    or am i just gonna have to wait?

    NOOO the essential mix got cut 1 hour but pete tong has a new show

    i guess it evens out..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Does it f*ck...I've been listening to the ES for nearly 13 yrs now....2 hours isn't enough time to squeeze in the variety of stuff that Tongy liked to play and some part of the show is going to suffer because of it.

    Fergie is leaving R1 too....his last show is on tonight....I never really catch his show but any time I did I enjoyed it. Though hard house isn't really my thing. He's doing his last show and the EM from Lush tonight....should be good.

    Is this true? The Essential Mix is just one hour from now on?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Cut from 3 hours to 2 hours....starts at 7pm now and runs till 9....when it started way back when it used start at 7 and run till 10. Then they moved it back and now they're cutting it :(
    He's doing another hour long show on thursday nights, a showcase for new music, so that's something...


    [edit] No not the EM, the friday night show.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 notorious546


    CAn Any of u guys find a Mp3 of pete tongs new show -In New Music we Trust - cause i cant seem to find one


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    You don't want to find it...it's brutal. Tong doesn't suit scripted shows, the music ain't new for the most part, records rarely play out in their entirety and it's fragmented into a magazine type show with pointless features. I can't see Pete sticking with this format to be honest...

    The BBC is dumbing down a lot with regards to Radio 1 since the new schedule....swapping Fergie for Eddie f*cking Halliwell? Shame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,353 ✭✭✭radiospan


    They've dropped one of their best shows too:
    The Blue Room (with Chris Coco and Rob Da Bank) :(
