anyone know if there is a way to convert mpeg4 to mp3's? a free program? any recommendations? muxtape only takes mp3

There is a "hidden" feature in VLC (a free media player),
That allows one to convert files..

really? want to tell me a bit more about how/where its hidden?

i tried the wizard option in VLC but it keeps saying it cant open my m4a. files. ive imported all my stuff through itunes... can anyone suggest a way for me to convert them to MP3's without having to buy a program?

lletdownl are your m4a's protected?

no, none of them are... they are all albums i physically purchased in a store and burnt onto my computer

may help.

awesome, that worked! thanks a lot

well, i got it done...

here is mine


lletdownl's muxtape

Current TV has a wicked 7 song performance by Portishead of songs off their new album.

Different but still recognizable as Portishead..
Very lovely

Goddamn, I love Portishead.

N_ i know. Brilliant!!!

Being a huge Sigur Rós fan, I'm ashamed to admit that it's taken me a few months to finally get around to watching Heima. Watch the trailer. Please.

I finally watched it last night and awed over their performances amongst the beautiful landscapes of Iceland. The film was visually stunning and corresponded well with their music. They played music in areas ranging from empty fields to small village halls to an old abadoned herring factory. It was beautiful to see and hear. I highly recommend it.

lletdownl, thanks for trusting my musical taste. I'll try not to disappoint you with recommendations to the like of Hootie and the Blowfish, Matchbox 20, and/or Creed.

hey, what's wrong with hootie!?

"I ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOOUUUUUU!!!"

ha ha ha, yeah, they're kinda lame, but i do enjoy hearing a song or two from them from time to time.

creed on the other hand, well, i never enjoy hearing them!

so...

i love muxtape so much ive made another... and might make 1 a week.

i already have a few ideas... electro mix, quiet mix, rock the fuck out mix, nostalgia mix etc etc etc...

so week 1 was the regular just testing the waters mix.

week 2 is....

rock the fuck out
lletdownl like

nice.

i wish it would allow you to make multiple mixes under one user name.

did you have to reregister with a different email address?

yeah thats what i did... fortunately i have several so i can keep a few up at a time

The ACLfest lineup came out today. Kind of a disappointing list, but the festival itself is always the musical highlight of my year.

Anyone partaking in this year's festivities?

i gotta get out to austin, either for that festival or sxsw.

i agree, the lineup is less than spectacular, but manu chao and gogol bordello @ the same festival (!!!)

Unless you come for the film, I would think ACL is the better buy $150 v. $500+.

It's really not that bad of a lineup, I was just surprised to see Foo Fighters as a headliner.

i hope you all listened to my rock out mix

especially the faith no more song... who thinks mike patton is the shit... i do

haven't had a chance to check it out but i've added both of yours to my favorites.

i saw mike patton with peeping tom @ coachella last year. pretty entertaining set.

well, here is number 3!

Just saw Liars open for Radiohead last night in Tampa.
The shit was hot!
F**k i love the Liars. I just wish i had know they were playing (by themselves) at the Social in Orlando the night after. Would have been a better size venue. Although considering the fact that most people were there to see Radiohead (eviden tby the lack of interest in their act) Liars but on an amazing energetic and loud (for an outdoor amphitheatre) live show.

Radiohead (of course) but on a good show. Great light/visuals on this tour.
Plus lots of new songs...As well as some classics
Yeah!!!

that's awesome nam. i can't wait to see them at the hollywood bowl this august.

and thanks holz, for introducing me to [http://www.murcof.com/]murcof[/url] via this news thread.

d'oh! what'd i do wrong!?

http://www.murcof.com/

I also love how these days everyone has a camera that can take live footage..

Below is a random sampling of a couple
of YouTube clips of the concert from last night....
link

I went and saw Kid Koala yesterday..

He played a small but lively show of killer music. He can play the 1 and 2s like no ones business!

kid koala and the beta band opened for the first radiohead show i ever saw.... i agree... the man has skillz

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


MUXTAPE7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

http://lletdownrocksoutwithhisoldmusicl.muxtape.com/


I got my old desktop up and running... so i decided to make a mix of songs i havent heard in years...

i highly recommend giving this one a whirl...

I've been listening repeatedly to affection training, eating toothpaste, kiss and ride by bratmobile. love the single noted style of guitar playing in bratmobile like dick dale. it sounds mean.

I was listening to Al Di Meola's "sampler" last night. if you're into fusion, technical guitar, weird arrangements, funk/latin then this album is fire. it's what mars volta is trying to do.

while on guitars...jeff beck's blow by blow

i've also been listening to autechre's draft 7.30 because i missed the los angeles show...v-proc is on repeat. the beat bumps and makes my head nod.

anyone else love that Republic Tigers song?

if there are any menomena fans out here, they made a MUXTAPE!!!!!!
and its their own songs... b sides and what not... very cool!

pbs has been showing queen rock montreal.

dread, if you like murcof, check out loscil and alva noto

i do like murcof. thanks holz!

ahhhh, gotta love queen. one of my favorite songs to sing @ karaoke is bohemian rhapsody. pretty challenging but fun.

last night on kcts (pbs in seattle) they were rocking steve miller in chicago. ick.

queen doesn't sing the part in bohemian rhapsody. they stop playing and play a backing track, then they go in when it rocks out. i guess they can't pull off the harmonization live.

i wanted to see them sing...
