Listener comments!
	🥁 ♥ 2:01pm doctorjazz: Hello Dave, Daro, Free World Inhabitants!
	♥ 2:01pm Dave Sewelson: Welcome to the Free World!!!
	🥁 ♥ 2:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:01 Daro (darned spell correct)
	♥ 2:02pm Dave Sewelson: welcome doc....i fixed it for you
	♥ 2:02pm Dave Sewelson: a priest a rabbit and a nun walked into a bar...
	2:11pm Dean: Marc Rusch, engineer for CIMP records, recognizes what you describe, Dave. His recordings capture live acoustic instruments remarkably well.
	🥁 ♥ 2:12pm doctorjazz: Some audiophile labels will use a well placed mic or a few mics, to capture the music AND the room sound.
	2:14pm Dean: Yep, that's Rusch, doc. Minimal miking, but sensitive to the sound reflected from barriers in the room. Heard Battle Trance at a house concert. Distortion, volume, saturation...they had it all.
	♥ 2:14pm Dave Sewelson: yeah Dean....
	2:15pm Dean: It's like Pauline Oliveros' "deep listening" or Stuart Dempster's recordings from cisterns.
	2:17pm Dean: A certain irony: doctorjazz and I dig our "audiophile" stereo systems, but I listen to WFMU on my crappy Chromebook. Loving this "27"!
	♥ 2:19pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Dave & Daro Behroozi and Freeworldlings
	♥ 2:19pm Dave Sewelson: hey sealy!
	2:21pm Dean: Nuts, I have to take my daughter to a birthday party. Will have to return via the archives. Thanks, all.
	♥ 2:21pm Dave Sewelson: Dean...eat some cake for me....
	2:22pm Dean: Will do!
	🥁 ♥ 2:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @2:17 I actually stream through my Technics CD player (but I do listen to phone out in cat when I can't sit in "the sweet spot")
	♥ 2:22pm coelacanth∅: perfect birthday party music Dean
	🥁 ♥ 2:24pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Dean @2:17 H'mm. I usually like FMU on the fancy big system (especially certain shows on the Mothership stream, where I strongly recommend the 256k AAC stream I set up while I was working there). Drummer is limited to 128k MP3 for Historical Technical Reasons, but it'd be great to fix that eventually.
	♥ 2:24pm Dave Sewelson: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:24 Jeff...for more bits....i concur....
	2:26pm Ras: Cool...
	♥ 2:28pm coelacanth∅: it certainly would be good to get better quality for the drummer stream...especially now that most of the shows geared toward people who actually listen to music and appreciate sound are on the drummer stream (and sheena's)
	🥁 ♥ 2:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:24 Increased bit rate for the stream would be wonderful (I also stream through my stereo system). I do find much variation in sound quality from show to show-I suspect the variations to do with the DJ's home streaming gear).
	🥁 ♥ 2:29pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Dave Sewelson @2:24 And a better-sounding codec than MP3 is really helpful! In particular, the way MP3 fails when hit by sharp impulses like vinyl ticks and pops is way ugly – and the artifacts get mixed in with the music so your ear/brain system can't filter them out and ignore them the way you can when the noises are reproduced more cleanly(!). At least, that's my observation.
	♥ 2:29pm coelacanth∅: i always use aac on the main fmu if not frequency modulation. i swear i can tell the difference.
	♥ 2:33pm coelacanth∅: Thank you for that brief explanation Jeff. good to have some articulation on that
	🥁 ♥ 2:37pm Jeff Moore: Anyway, for those who're wondering – the reason the alt streams have been stuck at 128k MP3 is that the automatic archive creation software depends on ripping the stream, and that software has a built-in expectation of 128k MP3, and the project to re-jigger that has enough dependencies to juggle that the project to make a change never got off the ground. Whereas... a few years back I could singlehandedly add some high-bitrate AAC streams to main WFMU, do a lot of listening tests, and demonstrate that adding them didn't saturate the available bandwidth and make anything else less reliable, all without involving others or breaking anything a lot of other stuff was depending on.
	♥ 2:41pm Dave Sewelson: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:37 the good old days
	🥁 ♥ 2:52pm doctorjazz: I use streamers at home-it was a Slingbox. Now a Technics sl-g700 CD player-neither gives me a choice of mp3 or other streams. At the office I use an old iPad3 to stream WFMU, d I use the Apple codex on the main station (bit I listen through a small speaker, not sure I'd hear much difference there)
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm doctorjazz: The discussion (on air) has been really interesting!
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm Jeff Moore: When you're listening to the mothership stream (which you obviously shouldn't be doing now, because this show is on the Drummer stream), the URL for the high-bitrate AAC stream is: stream0.wfmu.org... ...and a special weird meta-URL meant to point to whatever probably sounds best (which could involve a different codec in future, but which right now still points to that same 256k AAC) is: stream0.wfmu.org... ...and the one I usually listen to (but which isn't officially published anywhere, partly because it's a single stream out of the station and doesn't have the backup/failover magic the production streams have) is: stream0.wfmu.org... This one comes via an audio chain using an A/D converter whose sound I prefer a bit to one in the regular main streaming chain.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm doctorjazz: I have to see if I can find those url links on the Technic app (I spend most of my time on the Streams, so it doesn't come up all that often).
	🥁 ♥ 3:16pm Jeff Moore: ↳ doctorjazz @3:02 Does the Technics app use some sort of directory of available streams? Is there a way to paste in your own arbitrary stream URL, for things which don't appear in a directory? I see that one of the listed things it can play from is called just "Internet Radio", but there isn't much further info I can find. It might be possible to stuff an arbitrary URL in via Chromecast or Google Assistant or if there's TuneIn support... Anyway. Shutting up and listening now.
	♥ 3:24pm coelacanth∅: ^ (hand raised)
	♥ 3:27pm Dave Sewelson: www.luckychops.com
	♥ 3:29pm coelacanth∅: appreciating the information Jeff..in addition to a most fascinating and solidly in my own wheelhouse episode of music for a Free world
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: unfortunately (for me) i must depart for the post office before i'm too late. Thanks Dave! Thanks Daro! tchau
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm WR: Hi Dave and honored guest Daro Behroozi, esteemed listeners. Have been listening, short lunch break, will sit down and listen to all later.
	♥ 3:38pm Dave Sewelson: later sealy...don't forget the stamps....
	♥ 3:39pm Dave Sewelson: thanks WR...enjoy your lunch....
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm WR: Lunch is ok, the music, the discussion is wonderful.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm doctorjazz: Been making soup, now has to simmer for a while, will take the Free World work me on a dog walk. Berm digging the sounds!
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 One of these days I'll learn to proof read my phone messages...
	♥ 4:11pm Dave Sewelson: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 never.....
	4:32pm COOPER-MOORE: DO IT.
	♥ 4:35pm Dave Sewelson: ↳ COOPER-MOORE @4:32 NOW
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Anab" by "Anastatica" That was really cool! Thanks guys!
	♥ 4:49pm Dave Sewelson: ↳ doctorjazz @4:48 thanks doc...
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm northguineahills: dug the anastatica (only been here since apraniK)
	♥ 4:50pm Dave Sewelson: ngh...thanks for stopping by...
	♥ 4:54pm Gina Bacon: Hi Dave and all!
	♥ 4:56pm Dave Sewelson: GINA...we will fade the drum solo to you...
	♥ 4:59pm Gina Bacon: Thanks, Dave and Daro!
	🥁 ♥ 5:00pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, gents!
	♥ 5:01pm Dave Sewelson: Thanks all you listenears!!!
