The Chris Pirillo Show (soon to be titled GnomeRADIO) is streamed online using a special new technology that doesn't require any buffering - even for regular dial-up users. Guillermo Castañeda has been enjoying it. "I'm in South America, so I can't catch your show when it comes on the air, but I'm listening to the recording and it is great! This is the first time I've heard it and it is very entertaining and informative. I just heard a question from a guy who couldn't record MP3s into a CD. I don't write music CD's often, but there is an option in Winamp that will allow you to convert / record an MP3 file into WAV format (which can then be burned into a CD as an audio track). The shortcut in Winamp is CTRL-P for Preferences, then select the 'Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in' under Plug-ins. Click on Configure to set the output directory, then close the Preferences dialog. Now all MP3s played in Winamp will be converted into WAV format. In order to listen to MP3s [regularly] again, reverse the configuration procedure and select the Nullsoft waveOutput plug-in." We love helping people!
