Other
  • The full 8 hour show as broadcast, on mp2 files. Many thanks to Eddie.
  • Taper's note: "You can treat these .mp2 files as if they were .mp3 files - most software and hardware "mp3" players can play mp2 files as well, but some braindead ones require you to change the filename to ".mp3". To play back these files, I would recommend "foobar2000" to Windows (and Linux users with Wine). Just open up the 7 ".cue" files in order, and you will be presented with the fully indexed 8 hour broadcast."
  • The files as originally formatted and shared are no longer available online. However, they have been converted to 192kbps mp3 by SIG and can be accessed from the links below.
