Thanks Rod, All depends on ones point of view I guess. As an IT support specialist at a university, I can fix just about anything... but from the point of view of a typical end user, if it doesn't work when you click the button, it's a bug. I tend to agree with them.

Re: FLUXLIST: JOB_APP
Yeah, all these podcasting mess is a bit buggy sometimes. But once you get an aggregator that reads the podcasts good, it is easy to get addicted. Really an aggregator is not any more complicated that an automated downloader of selected subscripted podcasts. Some people wants to call the aggregators for podcast catchers instead to demystifie this all podcast hype. I have used Doppler, iTunes and Juice. I like Juice best (Juice was called iPodder before). It is for both PC and Mac. I am on PC but I guess it should be no worse problem with a mac. /Björn - Original Message - From: Rod Stasick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FLUXLIST@scribble.com Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2006 10:43 PM Subject: Re: FLUXLIST: JOB_APP On 1427Muharram 06, at 9:42 AM, Björn Eriksson wrote: Don't know if this is what this question is about... but anyway, an easy way to get a podcast working very fast and hassle free is to use the Podomatic service.

JOB_APP (the JOhn Bennett Audio Poetry Project) will consist of 50 audio works by 50 Fluxlist folks (I hope!). The audio pieces that you choose to create will use one of John's text pieces as a starting point. If you haven't already chosen a work of his to mangle, dangle, or just spangle, you may want to check the Fluxlist archives here: http://tinyurl.com/6kqab Just put Bennett in the Search window and you should have quite a list to work with (maybe John has other suggestions concerning his website). I know that not everyone has access to CD burners etc, so this is why I am leaving the media that you choose to send me pretty much open. Yes, CDRs and mp3s would be the preferred way, but DAT, minidisc, and cassette would work too. I've decided on a maximum limit of 10 minutes per person, so that it all can fit as HIGH quality mp3s on a single CD. When you send your submission, mention which Bennett text you are using as well as the name of your work. So if your name is Rusty Naffziger, and you decided to use today's text from John called Wet Meat and you decided to call your work Semiological Falsesighted, then your work may be listed like this: 1) Rusty Naffziger: Semiological Falsesighted (Wet Meat) I've now decided on 3 months deadline instead of 4, so this means that all CDRs, cassettes, emailed mp3s, etc should be on my desktop by DECEMBER 1 (after all, you won't have time to do anything during December anyway, right?). I will send reminders to all of you typical last-minute tax senders about OCTOBER 1 and again about NOVEMBER 1 if we haven't reached 50 submissions by that time. Of course, I will announce when I've received goodies from 50 folks and begin assembly early. I will do the assembling of the tracks (probably using chance operations), the design of the CD covers (each one different) and the design of the 50 discs themselves (also, each one different). I'm really expecting to spend December doing this with the intention of getting them to everyone around Xmas time or the first days of '06.

Re: FLUXLIST: JOB_APP
In my sleepy-headedness, I realized that it sounds like I was saying that everything would be spread out over 50 discs, but NO - what I meant to say is that you can get a lot of sound on one disc by creating many more-than- decent-sounding MP3 files and burning them on ONE disc. One disc would go to each of the 50 participants, etc... Also, I was thinking that since each disc and cover would be unique, I could provide a gallery of the 50 CD covers and the 50 CD disc artworks afterwards. Anyway, I'm getting WAY ahead.

Probably, Sept 1 I'll announce officially (rules, address to send, etc) with reminders and updates on Oct 1, Nov 1, and Dec. 1, with all CDs, cassettes, emailed Mp3s, etc on my desk by 2006. I work on compiling, art work, etc and try to send them out Feb 1. This is the rough-edged plan, but I'll officially announce around Sept 1 and we can get on with it. I'm good at follow-thru (almost compulsively so), so this shouldn't end up like the Fluxlist Box 2. All of this, of course, under the hawkishly watchful eye and OK of JB and his Allstars Poetry Crack Team, if he's willing to sit back and allow the minions to tear his work to shreds. but, AGAIN, not until around Sept 1 when I should make the announcement (or if someone else is ready and waldo to take it on earlier...) verstehen Sie? a, das ist gut!
