Ascoltare Radio Monte Carlo… con Linux

Paolo | 08/08/2008 | 0:21

Mi piace ascoltare la radio, specialmente quando programmo. Siccome siedo davanti ad un PC e siamo nel 2008, pretendo di ascoltare la mia stazione preferita, Radio Monte Carlo, usando il mio sistema operativo, cioè Linux (Debian "Sid", per la precisione).

Purtroppo navigando sul sito della radio faccio fatica ad interagire con il player integrato e poi, visto che uso il browser per provare il software che scrivo, trovo scomodo avere una finestra impegnata ad ascoltare musica.

Così, smanettando un po', ho trovato la URL da cui proviene lo stream, ascoltabile con MPlayer con il semplice comando:

$ mplayer rtsp://151.1.245.2/broadcast/2

con buona pace della terribile pagina web sul sito.

Buon ascolto...

Jazzanova

Paolo | 20/01/2008 | 16:47

Belle et Fou cover

Thanks to my friend Alex I recently discovered the Jazzanova group, which proposes very interesting nu-jazz and chillout music. I'm listening to their albums, finding them innovative. "Belle et Fou" is particularly interesting, and I'm continuously listening to "Outlines -- Just A Lil' Lovin' (DJ Edit)". Since Jazzanova are published by Sonar Kollektiv, you can buy albums in the traditional Compact Disc form or download them in MP3 and WAVE format, without any DRM applied. You are so free to copy your legally purchased music everywhere, listen in any MP3 capable appliance and make as many backups (real backups, not illegal copies!) as you need.

Sonar Kollektive price policy is also aggressive, so "Belle et Fou" is sold in MP3 format for 6.99 €, a very affordable amount that discourages illegal copies of the album.

You can also try the album tracks before deciding if you want to buy them, since low quality MP3 are available for download, and you can decide to buy only one track. For example in "Outlines -- Just A Lil' Lovin' (DJ Edit)" detailed page you find the link to the low quality MP3.

Enjoy Jazzanova's music :-)

Italia, terzo mondo

Paolo | 03/10/2007 | 1:08

Siamo nel terzo mondo. In Italia intendo.

Vado sul sito di Nelly Furtado (nessun commento, per favore, ascolto anche Miles Davis! :-)) e scopro che si può acquistare on line l'ultimo album. Scopro che lo vendono anche scaricabile. Penso: ci saranno un quintale di dispositivi anticopia, DRM, e altro. E invece no, si scaricano gli MP3. Leggo la FAQ, non ci credo: tra i requisiti tecnici dice "qualsiasi player MP3", ad esempio Winamp. Sono commosso, decido di comprare, non fosse altro per incentivare la musica legale e senza lucchetti.

Clicco, aggiungo al carrello... 9 $, nove dollari, NOVE DOLLARI?!? No, aspetta, ma qua da noi l'album costa circa 20 €. Fantastico, sfodero la carta di credito, riempio il form, avanti, sì, l'email, ok, il mio numero di telefono, ok, VAI, ACQUISTA!

We regret that we are unable to deliver your order to Italy.
Please empty your shopping cart.

Ma in che posto vivo, si può sapere?

Me ne vado a letto.
