Screwtape, who's the tenor singing Nessun Dorma in your entry?

Yell at him for me; he's making me cry.

Blast you Plácido Domingo!

Remember that if we get all the entries early, the rest of the links go out earlier.

Mine should be in tomorrow....technically my entry has been ready for about a month just havent had time to get round to uploading it or writing anything about it.

 

[cobl04]

I've got a theme going for the mini one.

 

[phanan]

I'm tweaking mine still. But I'll be done on time.

I doubt all the entries will be in early anyway.

 

[Lila64]

I've downloaded all of the early links that Screwtape sent out. I'm having a problem with corianderstems. I'm missing some tracks:

14 The Bangles
22-26
39

Anyone else have these or perhaps they could be re-uploaded?

Any more early emails coming, for listening purposes?

I've only got a few more than what was sent out so the next e-mail won't go out until the 31st or when all playlists are in.

I'll re-upload Corianderstem's links this weekend and send them to you. Hopefully that will help.

 

[Lila64]

thanks!

 

[corianderstem]

Lila, you have issues!

Thanks for offering to reupload them, Screwtape.

 

[Lila64]

well, if you want my vote, I want the balance of songs!

Tell me something I don't already know

 

[Screwtape2]

Lila, you have issues!

Thanks for offering to reupload them, Screwtape.

No problem. It will get my mind off the emotionally exhausting work I'm putting into my new Desert Island trilogy.

 

[Lancemc]

Ok, I'm ready to upload. But can someone just give me a better step-by-step on how to create zip files and upload them onto mediafire the correct way.

I'm using a Mac btw.

Thanks.

Once you have everything in folders, right-click and select the Create Archive option. That should zip the files. Then on mediafire select the number of zip files you have. Then click browse and select the the individual zip files.

 

[Lancemc]

Thanks. Uploading now. My submission should be in a little over an hour from now.

 

[Lancemc]

Uuuugggghhh.

Uploading failed. Some stupid error message. Fuck it.

I'll try again in the morning. I'm not waiting another hour just for this to fuck up again.

 

[Screwtape2]

Make sure each zip file is under 100 MB.

 

[Lancemc]

They are.

I have a feeling it might have gotten mucked up because I left my computer to let it upload, and the screen went to sleep in the meantime, so that might have screwed things up.

Who knows.

I'll get it right in the morning.

 

[AtomicBono]

Uuuugggghhh.

that was a decent job of raging but you need to get more into it

UNNNNNGHHHHH WAKE UP YEA CMON UNNGHHH FUCK YOU I WONT LOAD WHEN YA TELL ME

 

[Lila64]

Dammit, now I want to hear the song, but it's too late to turn it on and blast it - especially with the kid in the next room

I couldn't plug headphones into my computer , and it hasn't made it onto the iPod yet

Everything is working.

There is one slight problem, the Gustav Holst and Wilco tracks aren't able to be played because you purchased them on the Apple online store. I have a different version of the Holst track and I can find the Wilco track, so would you like me to replace the protected tracks with those?

 

[Lemonchick]

So far I've listened to 3 of the playlists, and I'm extremely impressed.

Corianderstem - yours was the perfect one to listen to yesterday simply because I was in such a great mood . I love the summer road trip feel of it. I had a lot of fun listening to it, and it also helps that you have my favourite INXS song and one of my favourite R.E.M songs.

Screwtape- Absolutely beautiful. I love the flow, the theme, and I'm in awe at how you manage to put so many different songs into an impressively cohesive playlist. The more I listened, the better it got, yours is probably one of my favourite playlists from all Desert Island games.

LMP - Wow, you're really good at this, aren't you? . Excellent playlist, I like the way you divided it into four sections, with each section having its own mood, you really pulled it off. oh, and Sections 3 and 4 in particular...

Thank you. That's high praise. I have to confess that I thought people would hate it.

 

[U2vertigofly]

Mine will be in soon, I still need to do all the typing stuff.

Also, most of my songs are iTunes store files. Can these be uploaded?
