@evilcookies98 I have an idea! Put them in as a cart, and run a contest on your Cookie Jar show, where you play one of them, and the first listener to guess what show it comes from, is entered into a drawing to win a prize of some sort. Maybe perhaps, an Amazon or ITunes gift card. Run the contest for a month or 2, or for however long you do it for, and then, at the end of the month or multiple months you run it, draw a name, and that person will be the winner! And the reason why I recommend you run them in a cart, is those won't show up in the title bar of streaming players. If you find carts too difficult to set up, you can also accomplish this by inserting the game show theme song for that week into your playlist, as a general spot.
@evilcookies98 I like carts for playing sound effects, as I have an applause crowd cheering cart, and another cart with an Awww sound effect in it. I’ll play these to express excitement or disappointment, whatever is going on at the time. And back when I was at @986themix, I had another cart with the jingle in it for Old Time Audio Theater, the show that followed me when I broadcasted on Server 2 on early Friday evenings between 6/18/21 and 7/8/22. I’d play that cart when announcing near the end of my show, what was coming up after me.
@986themix@celrock I just use them in the way I do because I suck at precise timing, so this way I can keep an eye on my watch, and know exactly when to smack that magic button. The day I can get myself a Jaws license and the scripts is going to be an awesome day for everybody.
@MariahL@cordova5029@evilcookies98 I know I would love to have a collection like that. I managed to get a whole bunch of classic press your luck episodes from youtube, but I would love to have music from gameshows.
@jamminjerry@MariahL@cordova5029@evilcookies98 You can probably get the tracks from youtube videos, or itunes might have the tracks you can purchase. Google the show name and in parenthesis put "music from" or "backing tracks" and it should pop the list up. I've found some great renditions and originals on Spotify too.
@jaybird110127 I would have to go to the computer and look, but it’s big enough for me to wonder what the heck I’m doing with it and if I can actually use it for anything. They don’t exactly make for something good to listen to randomly. Can’t sing along with some thing that doesn’t have lyrics.
@cub80_appleby that’s actually not a bad idea. I haven’t really chosen any yet, because I’m still pretty new. I’ve done precisely three shows, and the most recent one was the first to not have at least one technical glitch.
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby Oops? That happens with all of us! I used to broadcast until I couldn't upgrade my SPL due to lack of money once I started using SPL although when I first started broadcasting I used winamp with the sam encoders and the line-in tool!
@cub80_appleby if you still have your old version it should still work. I’m going to use the version I have until it completely stops working and then I’m probably going to have to find something else. Not going to get into why
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby Unfortunately all I have is a demo of SPL and that only lasted a month and that was on my desktop computer! I don't have it on my laptop though! I have the latest desktop version of winamp due to the fact that it's now basicly web based!
@cub80_appleby I just recently downloaded Winamp for the first time ever because I heard it was really easy to fix bad file tags with. That calliope thing has broadcasting tools, built into it, but they’re in a rather obscure spot.
@cub80_appleby they’re kind of buried in the now playing scream, which is precisely why I don’t use it. There would be so much dead air while I was trying to find the turn mic on button it wouldn’t even be funny.
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby True enough and that's why I use winamp 10.29! I don't like the new winamp since there's no usable version to update to for the desktop layout on a laptop!
@evilcookies98 Yeah me too! However that was way back when winamp first came out and when I had my first desktop and after I got the internet for the first time back in 2005!
@cub80_appleby when I first got station playlist and didn’t have any other way to use it, I would throw a bunch of tracks into the playlist and just hit play
@evilcookies98 Ah I see! When I first tried SPL I was having trouble with it since the earliest version only allowed .mp3 files until the latest version!
@evilcookies98 Oh wow!That's not cool! @carrottop1023 uses it not only for broadcasting with JAWS when we had JAWS 2023 he uses it as a stand-alone media too!
@carrottop1023@cub80_appleby I have mine set up in such a way that the metadata goes out through the encoder, so I’ve really got to watch what I’m doing. The encoder doesn’t auto connect, thank the heavens above, but I don’t really want to take my chances. I’m using NVDA, but my next two purchases are going to be a Jaws annual license and those beautiful Scripps that are absolutely awesome. I’m using a demonstration copy with jaws in 40 minute mode so I can learn how they work.
@evilcookies98@carrottop1023 Good luck with that! Yeah if we had oodles of money @carrottop1023 and I would certainly rehash our full version of JAWS 2023 and I'd buy SPL 6.0.1 or what ever the latest version is!
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby There's a way to fix it so random metadata doesn't stream out like that. Don't use the http thing to output your titles. Check the use DSP checkbox instead.
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby If you’re using the DSP means of streaming out titles, nothing will randomly stream. You have to be connected to a server in order for titles to stream out at all. If you’re using SPL as a stand alone player without being connected to a server, nobody will ever know.
@cub80_appleby@celrock oh, so that neat little trick does still work. My method of using it as a media player was to add one track, hit the insert random top up track key about 60 times, and then just mash the play key and see what kind of crazy mess I ended up with. my search folder and top up folder are the same thing
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby I’ve been known to do that, when I couldn’t think of what to play. I also have it set up, so the folder I search for both, adding tracks manually, and putting in random top up tracks, is also the same. F:\Audio on the desktop, and D:\Celeste on the laptop.
@evilcookies98@cub80_appleby She's on Dodge Radio on Wednesday evenings, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM Eastern, that's 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Atlantic, 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM Central, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM Mountain, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Pacific, 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM Alaskan, and 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM Hawaiian. If interested in listening, either tell your smart speaker to enable Dodge Radio and play Dodge Radio, or, enter http://server.dodgeradio.net/stream into your preferred media player of choice. She plays a wide variety of music, and takes requests, so definitely worth a listen!
