The Hopeless Jazz Werewolf is teething


Haha, well, it’s going sort of ok. I thought it was going to be easy using blipmedia, but despite being able to upload the mp3 and it creating an RSS feed automatically, there have been problems downloading it onto iTunes. I suspected it may be an iTunes/RSS compatibility problem, but a new RSS hasn’t made a difference. It now appears that the problem is that whilst downloading the podcast, the server cuts off for some reason, often at the same point.
So, options are to find some webspace to upload the file to. i.e. host it myself. Or perhaps hope that this is a temporary blip in Blipmedia’s service. I download somebody else’s podcast from there though, and it’s fine. Hmmmmm.

I’m using Audacity to create the mp3, and that seems to work well, and The Podcast RSS Buddy to create an RSS file, which also worked. Hopefully I can just edit that file now. Well, once I get it all up and running. The first podcast is going to be an introduction to the solo work of Frank Black (eventually)

The Hopeless Jazz Werewolf is born

I created this blog for music purposes, specifically to have a go at creating a podcast of music I like. It may work, it may not, but I'm having a go. This may die because my musical taste isn't particularly wide, but then again, it may inspire me to look for new stuff. Anyway, now I've got to do one.
