Reefcast on my PSP

[mako199]

Anyone listen to Reefcast on an MP3 player?

I use my PSP with 2gig Memory stick so I can listen to Reefcast during lunch break at work. I just use my headphones and zone out.

You can download straight to the PSP with your wireless connection because it has an internet browser or transfer from PC with a USB cable.
Download is about 32MB For an hour long Reefcast.

Reefcast.com (http://www.reefcast.com/index.php)

Reefcast is pretty cool and entertaining....I hear Cyclopese Tastes terrible...lol

Melev and Quicksilver obviously have a blast recording it .There is some funny stuff on there.

The information given on this podcast is from beginner to advanced so there something for everyone.

Thats cool I haven't listened to the latest one yet....I have an I-river mp3 player and thought about down loading it for work maybe I'll have to do that this week. I can use it while working, I work grocery stocking on 3rd shift and the boss don't mind.

[mako199]

It might be a little hard concentrating on the information given and working at the same time. I find myself jotting down info I can use while I listen. I cant wait till they do a video cast of sump building. Thats some information thru video that would be really helpful. I have a 4x4 sheet of 3/8 GP waiting for my sump.

[Azurel]

That will be some good info to have....Plus actually seeing it being built helps a lot, I'm OK with written instructions but seeing it is so much easier and can be less confusing.

[mako199]

Yea I read the info and look at the pics a hundred times ,but seeing someone apply the weld on and pull the pins will give you an idea of what it really takes.

[mako199]

bump

[mako199]

Anyone else listen on the go or at work maybe in the car?

[pnsnowboard]

now thats one nice looking psp

[pnsnowboard]

i have an i pod that i put my talking reef podcast and my reefcast podcast

[iaJim]

I had a 150 mile drive this evening, and I listened to episodes, 2, 3, and 4. I was surprised to hear my question being answered at the start of #4. Cool! I guess several people here must be listening.

Oh yeah, I'm on an iPod with a tape adapter.

[drock59]

so where are the new episodes?

[Electrobes]

reefcast.com - I just started listening.. even if you know the info on the topics they discuss... it's really fun listening to them! :)

[drock59]

I know where the episodes are I am just wondering why there has not been an episode 5? Itunes has it too!

[mako199]

I thought there would be an episode 5 by now......they must be workin on a good one.

[BigReefing]

i have a psp, I am gona have to try that.

[TippyToeX]

I think Marc and Evan just finished recording episode 5 this weekend. :) Should be out soon I hope.

[pnsnowboard]

yea i hope so too

[Reefbone]

You have been assimilated :eek1:

[raskal311]

looks like its time to dust off the psp :D

[Chrismo]

Yeah, bring on episode 5. Nice show, I listen while I work too, I keep meaning to put it onmy ipod, but I listen to them before I have a chance.

I love that picture, and will get Evan to put it on the site with the next update! Thanks for posting it, Mike. I sent a guy to this thread that gmailed me, as he was having problems subscribing with his PSP.

Now you got me wanting a PSP too!!!!!

[pnsnowboard]

i put mine on my ipod then take it to class and i always have to take it out of my ears during the taste test because it always makes me crack up and i cant laugh in class

Thanks Marc.... I thought you would like the pic.......As far as subscribing through the PSP ( I haven't done that) I just download episodes to my laptop and transfer them over to the PSP through USB. My PSP wont play nice with my router because of the 128 bit encryption so this is why I just transfer them over.

When is episode 5 coming.....My PSP feels all empty and bored. LOL

:rollface:

[melev]

Sunday night. :D

[mako199]

awesome.... perfect timing for listening Monday at work during lunchtime.

[drock59]

so...not sunday.

[melev]

Yeah, I know. :(

I'm going to make it official - episodes will come out every other week from now on. Evan is a very busy individual with many talents, but there aren't enough hours in the day for him to accomplish all he wants to do. Getting together with him for a few hours to record a show is no problem, but the editing portion takes quite some time. He wants it to be perfect, and it can't be rushed.

I talked to him this evening, and he told me he was going to put an announcement on the site tonight but when I checked, I didn't see it. Tomorrow night he will get it finished. Once it is done, I listen to it and create all the show notes for him to add to the downloads page within a few hours. So if that works out as planned, Thursday morning bright and early, it will be available to all.

Thank you for your patience.

[drock59]

No worries, just anxious. I know it is a very time consuming process, and besides having a tank to tinker with, there just are not that many hours in the day. I look forward to thursday.

[Deadmullet]

I had no idea my PSP could do anything other than play madden 06'http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/046.gif

[mako199]

Thursday is better then ...never.

Hey Marc is there going to be video with this one? Thought someone said you guys took some video.

[melev]

Yes, but I think it will be a separate file. Evan has Aaron helping him with that, and he's the guy that designed the website. I bet he'll make it look amazing if he has a little time to put into it.

I was thinking the actual file could have some video even though most of it is pure audio, but Evan told me they can't be combined - at least at this time. When we shot video, we also shot more for a future release on a somewhat different topic. :)

Cool. I hope the topic doesnt have anything to do with you being a professional stripper.
:)

[melev]

:lol: Never. At least not for free. :D

[zaireguy]

what is the best player to be able to get reefcast? I have been looking at getting some kind of player

[iaJim]

My iPod works great!

[melev]

Any mp3 player should be fine. If you find something you like, let me know because I just listen to mp3 on my computer, or burn it to CD for the car.

[Brandino007]

Just wait till you can take pics and video of your take with your PSP!!!

The PSP is one awesome handheld.
*Looks down at his poor DS*
Sorry but the PSP is my Fav.

[quiksilver]

[fantasticfish]

[mako199]

Videos were cool......and thanks for the mention on the the website Evan.....I don't think I can wait till work on Monday so I'm going to listen now.

One thing about the video....I have 6mb broadband so I wouldn't mind a hi rez video download if its not a lot of trouble maybe you can post both a hi and low resolution video. When you do the sump building video (that I'm hoping you do) it would really help to be hi resolution download.

[iaJim]

I second what mako199 said. Lots of people have high speed and would love the alternative. I suppose that increases your bandwidth, and cost, so if that's the case..... That's cool too.

Thanks for your hard work.

[melev]

The videos this time were pretty large. If a large number of people download them (and we'll know soon enough), bandwidth could quickly be a problem. The food video was 60 megs. If 1000 people download it, that's 60 gigs right there (I think).

I'm sure as things progress, we'll be able to provide better options in the future. One person offered us some hosting space for videos, so that would help. I know the video doesn't seem like a lot of work went into it, but it took several hours to get it edited and rendered for the web. I thought it was rather poorly lighted, so we'll have to address that in the future.

You're right about the need for high quality video when showing construction, because you need to see what is happening.

[mako199]

Marc and Evan thanks for almost mentioning me on Reefcast 5....I'm going to kill Evan for forgetting my name...LOL:D :rollface:

Just kiddin........Great Reefcast..... and I will be running over my plastic hydrometer with my truck tomorrow and ordering a refractometer from Marine depot . :p

Listening to Reefcast on my MP3 player is officially responsible for the "Weirdest Look I've Ever Received" award...

I ride a large motorcycle (Honda Valkyrie) and have a MP3 player w/ amplified speakers clipped to the handlebars...

I was at a stoplight, listening to Reefcast. Good-Ole-Boy pickup pulled up next to me, window started to come down, this happens quite often. I usually get a "Nice Bike!" type comment, and that's it...

The window came down, the guy listened for about 10 seconds (I don't even recall what they were talking about, much less which episode it was), and suddenly the window was brought back up really really quick, the driver wouldn't look at me, eyes straight ahead trying to not acknowledge my existence...

Considering I usually listen to stuff like acapelle pirate music or bagpipe music while riding, the fact that Reefcast out-weirded even those is definitely saying something!

[melev]

That is too funny. I wonder what our discussion was about. Would he have responded the same had it been Howard Stern? ;)

[raddogz]

I'll try the next reefcast on my psp.

Right now I just download it onto my iPod, and listen when I drive to and from work. Cuts my stress level down.

reefroids and p.e. mysis....mmmmmmmm

[oddball1972]

i listen with my psp, had trouble putting the video's on it. and haven't taken the time yet to work on it

[mako199]

I use this free software for converting videos and sending them to my PSP.


PSP Video 9 freeware (http://www.pspvideo9.com/index.html)

[sivad]

Must have more reefcast. Maybe Mark/Melev could lower there high production values and crank it out more content. Great fun and education for me.

[melev]

We just worked on another episode today. Evan has post-production to do now.

[rmulet]

Every two weeks? I guess that's how long it takes for Evan to get that stuff he's eaten out of his system!

[melev]

:lol:

[oddball1972]

hello just thought i would let you know i just got back from a week in indiania went up there to visit my kids and yes i listened to reefcast on my psp during the 8 hr drive . haha i just wish i had more then eposide 2 and 5 on there but i fixed that yesterday

marc evan keep up the good work

[Nano_reeflover]

Hey guys,
I just got a new mp3 player today and was hoping someone would be able to tell me how to get reefcast onto it.

Thanks, Travis

[Nano_reeflover]

ttt

[melev]

Hi Nano_reeflover,

I still don't own an mp3 player, but I do download mp3 files to my PC all the time. Once it has been downloaded, you should be able to move the files onto your mp3 player either with the player's software or with Explorer in Windows. Hope you can figure it out.

If you don't know how to download an mp3 to your PC, just find the appropriate link (like any other file you'd want to save to your harddrive), and right click. Next click on Save File As, and be sure you note what directory you are saving it to.

If you still can't get that to work, try PMing me or ask in the Lounge as I'm sure someone with a player should know what to do. Be sure to let them know what brand & model player you have, in case it is something type-specific.

I'd like to get one myself, but can't get past the price tag. I remember when a Sony Walkman was $80 and that was considered high-end price-wise. Now a iPod is $300! :eek2:

[vanmo92]

I listen on my ipod vidio and i have a little reefcast logo as the album artwork. Its pertty cool. Glad they FINALY came out w/. a new one. I really thing that it woiuld be awsome if they actualy did it weekly like their intro says.

[Nano_reeflover]

Hey thanks Marc, I'll give that a try. BTW if your looking for an mp3 player, I just got a Toshiba Gigabeat 40gb for only $165 on ebay. I love mine.The best thing is they are color and can hold pics.

[melev]

I've never even heard of that one. Thanks for the tip!

[quiksilver]

I used to have a creative zen micro that I absolutely loved for like 170 bux but then someone stole it at the gym :(

[vanmo92]

sorry bout tht quicksilver
