Well unfortunately this requires uninterrupted recording, any gaps are
unnacceptable. It is a club night with a DJ blending tracks together
continuously, for rebroadcast on the Net.

Hmmm... then it seems as if there should have been someone
there with not only the appropriate software and the ability to
reassemble them with maximum transparency in post, but that
actually, the file(s) should have been immediately converted to
the proper format and stored directly on the server. That's not
something that any old Jowe Blowe can just walk in with a PC
and do. "Gaps" are very nearly a requirement due to file size
limitations, both in the computer software as well as on the
hoster/server. Large binary files are often busted into hundreds
of parts for later reassembly due to transmission (bandwidth and
continuity) limitations. If you really want to pull this off, you'll need
the on-site ability to dial up to the server and store the file in the
proper format, in the proper place, on the fly.... otherwise, you
deal with the limitations of the on-board software and the required
post production needs. If you want to help the guy, you need to
educate him. Anyone can do the recording, given the limitations
of 95% of all computer's file size restrictions.

Who is doing the format conversion?

What are the format requirements?

Who is doing the uploading to the server?

What are the server's requirements?

How will the server actually name and manipulate the file(s) to make
them available for streaming?

Has anyone actually looked into this beyond the idea of recording?






Well at the moment most of the night minus the last hour and a half (which
may not be recoverable as it may not even have been recorded) is now
streaming online, as an mp3 at 128K stereo with full track and artist
titles. You can't start from the beginning, you can only listen in to this
endless loop. So I guess the guy is capable or knows people capable of
putting it on the web, but is rather inept at recording it in the first
place. I suspect he was up for 24 hours splicing those 16000 temp files
together ........

I'm curious.... got a link ??
