vlm will be posting a few full-bandwidth cd-quality (128 Kbps) and decent quality (but much smaller file size and download time) MP3s of various songs from small pet o.k., something in french, the 7"s including unreleased and older songs on a rotating basis. keep checking back here for the current batch of songs.
also keep an eye out for our vlm dyi mp3 diskette-only releases. a full-bandwidth mp3-encoded vlm song (hey, we didn't say they were long songs) on a 1.44M dos diskette. we've got a lot of those aol disks and we're going to use 'em.
here are a few hints on downloading and playing the Vooodoo Love Mint sound files;
-
if your computer and web browser are set up to handle MP3 (or Real Audio) sound files, you can just
click with your left mouse button on any of the song titles like this one - Bar Song . Your web browser will then download the song and play it.
-
if your computer and browser are not set up the handle MP3 files, you will either see garbage on the screen (Netscape) or a "File Download" dialog box (Internet Explorer) asking you to either "Open this file from its current location" or "Save this file to disk." Choose the "Save this file to disk" option, press OK and proceed to the next hint.
-
alternately, you can click on the song title with the right mouse button to bring up a menu that offers, among other things, to "Save link as..." (Netscape) or "Save Target As..." (Internet Explorer). select these menu items to download the sound files and save them on your computer. you may then use an MP3 player such as Winamp or Sonique to play the MP3 files.
-
mp3.com has a good guide on getting started with MP3 files here.
-
look to the right of the song titles at the descriptions of the sound files. here you will see what type of sound file it is (MP3 or Real Audio - Real Audio files can be treated the same way as MP3 files except they need to be played with the Real Player) and its size (related to the quality of the music in the sound file - better quality (128 Kbps or near cd-quality) means bigger sound files and longer download times). some of these sound files are large and could take a while to download using a standard dial-up internet connection.
