Best Show MP3 archives
« on: July 29, 2008, 04:47:12 PM »
Hi all - I was wondering where, or if there is, a good place to download Best Show MP3 archives. I can't listen to the streaming archives on the official site and was hoping to load up my ipod with some early shows. I've already played the 7 recent episodes I have to death. Thanks!

While not mp3 archives, these two links to earlier topics might help.

Also, there's the Best Show Vault.

Thanks for the info. I'm on a Mac, so I'm gonna have to do a bit of working to do this. Too late to try it tonight, but I'll see if I can get through it tomorrow.

Anybody know the new location for the .rm/.mp3 archives? The old address isn't working anymore. PM me!

I hadn't checked in a while, but...have the old .rm files been moved somewhere altogether different? All I see in the archive now are .mp3's that only go back to last year. If someone has an updated address for the .rm archive, I would greatly appreciate a PM!

Has anyone figured this out?  I would also really appreciate a PM.

Aw man, I just discovered this last night. I knew there was a WFMU archive, but had no idea that you couldn't just download files from it. I listen to Best Show on an iPod Nano, and don't have any mobile devices capable of using the Archive Page's pop-up flash player.

I really wanted to listen to the shows from August-October 2011 due to some things I've read about that happened during that stretch.

How can I get hold of those episodes?

It's a pain, but every so often I set an old episode up to play overnight and use Audio Hijack to capture it as an MP3. Wish there was a more convenient way but I don't know of any.

Since these are fairly recent, they're still a part of the podcast feed. You can download them by subscribing or visiting this page: http://wfmu.org/podcast/BD.xml. These won't have the opening music sets, though.

Oh nice. Last night I must have been looking at a different feed because it only went back as far as November 2011 (I think it's the same feed iTunes is using). This one goes back a fair amount further. Thanks! EDIT: Hmm, looks like most of the ones from before Nov 2011 are re-broadcasts from previous years. Will have to check this out further.

@cavorting with nudists - I've been considering doing that as well. Just letting one record per night. Got to figure out what program will do that best.
