RED (WIRE) - Video clip of a new Christmas U2 song Part 2

[Danny Boy]

Ahah. Ok figuring out more stuff all the time. I see now that on the opening page (when you launch Redwire from your desktop) there is a new box (after downloading the 2nd issue) that says My Collection, clicking that brings you to an icon for each volume (Vol. 2 has Bono on it) click that and it brings up the larger desktop collage page for Vol. 2, which includes a large photo for the U2 Christmas song in this issue. (Funny though that it's a pic of the guys from the U23D premiere)

I left the application open all night, and it didn't download anything, but this morning I closed it and reopened it, and it started downloading the content. Not sure what the issue was last night.

Sounds like they still have a few bugs to work out.

I'm guessing they chose that photo because the guys all look Christmas-y.

I got the email last night, but I think the "two months free subscription" thing is a mistake. When you click the link, it takes you to the sign-up page where you can get two free issues, but that offer is available to everyone.

The way I read it, the "gift" was the making-of video.

Oh okay. That makes sense. I thought I missed out on something worthwhile not getting the email.

Yay!! glad to hear you got it.

Just got my email moments ago from REDWire letting me know the new issue is ready. There's also a link to begin the download. Maybe we were all a bit early yesterday

That's what I was thinking. Although I wouldn't have been so adamant about downloading the new issue last night if U2.com wouldn't have posted about it in the first place.

Have you tried that RED loader thing to move the content into Itunes? I'm afraid to do it, I haven't had any issues doing it manually.

 

[bonocomet]

Yes and it worked great. It seems it transferred the videos as well as the mp3s. Looks like it didn't automatically add the artwork, but I guess we can put that there ourselves from the images they put in our image folder.

Nah, now that they've moved the content into the documents folder, it's easy to just drag it into iTunes.

In itunes, go to file "add file to library", go to your documents folder and then look for the RED Wire folder, the video is in the "videos" folder and the mp3 is in the "music" folder. You do each individually.

You can also import each of these entire folders (music/video) but it will bring all of the content into your itunes not just the U2 video/mp3.

Has anyone got this e-mail yet?

I got it too, but the strange thing is I don't subscribe to U2.com.

But hey, the're welcome to send any freebies they want too.

I have already received an email from (Red)Wire that I was getting 2 issues free. I've not downloaded the 2nd one yet.
Been too busy the last few days.
Having issues with it too.
Just trying to follow everyones instructions.
May wait till tomorrow.

 

[Naeara]

Could someone please send me the mp3? naeara@gmail.com
Thanks! Merry Christmas!

 

[sue4u2]

I just saw the Stand by Me video mentioned on E Entertainment.
It said to check in to PlayingforChange.com

Looks good to me and I like the music.

Glad to see (Red)Wire making a difference already.

thanks for the advice ! Did try as you suggest and clicked on Redwire via I-tunes but still not working for some reason - do I need to do something to my Redwire settings ? Thanks again, Mike

 

[ramblin rose]

Don't click just on the RED Wire Folder, but on the Music and Video folders within the Redwire folder. (You need to do it twice one for the music and one for the videos.

Or you can try their REDmover program which supposedly moves the stuff automatically. I haven't tried it, but other people who have say it works.

You can find the link to download and on the bottom line (towards the right) of the Redwire page.

Here's the direct link, but I'm not sure it will work.

Thanks!!! I'm now a very happy bunny.....although it does seem a little odd blasting out a Christmas song on Hogmanay,

Happy New Year

I'm looking for the 'official' MP3 of U2’s I Believe In Father Christmas released on December 23rd via (Red)Wire. I understand its 256kbps not a ripped version (96kbps) of the FLV (video)? I don't live in the US or UK, therefore cannot get (Red)Wire even for free!

I’d like the file in its original form (no renaming). I’d be glad to trade.

Cheers,
