Best of luck with that. Having a good product is only half the battle, hopefully your marketing approach will pay off.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Vinyl record story
« on: January 10, 2010, 11:02:48 AM »
The only reason I buy old vinyl is when it's the only way I can find an obscure song. But I then convert to mp3 and sometimes CD too. Not sentimental about it at all.

I think several here have bought these from this seller. This is the guy with a warehouse full of old Gibson Kalamazoo parts.

17 F here last night too at the weather station nearest my house. Not expected to be quite that cold tonight.
After last summer, the drought and the record number of days 100 degree or more, a little cold front is welcome.

Thanks, guys. I do have Movie Maker on my XP desktop and Vista laptop, that will do. I sure don't need anything more complex, just wondered if this was the best relatively simple way.
I heard Microsoft unbundled some features for Win 7 (Windows Mail, for one). This may be due to antitrust lawsuit settlements. It's still available for free.

I'm 62, no secret about that. Though it's a bit frightening to look at my kindergarten photo and realize that Harry Truman was still president at the time.

I don't know for sure, only that it claims to be the biggest. So it must be true.

Thanks, George. I looked and found a YouTube video from 2007 that explains how to create one using photos and titles, it was intended as a tutorial for Blogger which apparently didn't allow embedding mp3s alone at the time, but it still tells me everything I need to do to create and save it to my computer. From there I can figure out how to upload it to YouTube.
Pretty simple unless you want to make it fancy. Import audio track, import photos and stretch to the audio.
BTW, Windows Movie Maker should already be on your PC. It was originally under accessories in XP, now as of XP SP3 and Vista (and 7, I assume) it's just in the general list of programs.

The Outpost Cafe / Basic video editing question
« on: January 08, 2010, 07:06:29 PM »
I've never done any video editing because I've never had a video camera. Now I'd like to upload some old songs to YouTube. These don't have videos with them, I want to make something up like other ones I've seen that use a title and one or more still photos as the video to accompany the song. Nothing fancy.
Is this doable using Windows Movie Maker? Is there any easier way, like some simple dedicated program? I've seen Muziic's free encoder but it only allows one still photo to be used and it has Muziic's name on the screen.

No, but there's Musikmesse in Frankfurt in March. Even bigger.

You're probably right in general. Still, the January NAMM show is easily the most important event in the US retail music industry. AFAIK it's as big as ever.
