I need to get an .m4a player to listen to this. Can anyone make a recommendation on how and what to install?

wtf is a .m4a player and why do i not have one? 

iTunes should play the file, shouldn't it?

Download iTunes (it's free). You can convert the .m4a file to an mp3 or other file if you do not own an ipod.

never! apple can take their idildo and cram it straight up their... *tries in vain to think of something to replace iAss*

I've converted the file from the abomination known as M4A into the lovely format known as OGG. The problem is I don't seem to have anywhere to put the file where y'all can get to it. (my personal web site is down at the moment), something about improving the service. Not sure how not being able to use the service counts an an improvement

Anyone want to host it? 44 megs.

You don't have to give Apple a dime...just use the software to convert the files.

I've never met anyone who didn't own an ipod!

WOW! Perhaps you'd be more appreciative of this?

oddly... that does nothing for me... i think i might be sick or something (shuddap!)

Installing itunes, and other players, pisses alot of non computer geeks off. Especially if you have lots of music on your PC.  Read up on it first. I back all my mp3 music on DVD, and all my other files  ..... example,

Mindcore, Lots of us don't have ipods nor use mp4 files. So to reach a bigger audience, it seems wiser to send audio as mp3 instead of mp4.  Most every one can play mp3  files  .....

Spread the "saving good word" of Atheism to the "four corners" ! My atheist jesus/buddha insists  .....  or hell be on you  ..... as all the world will continue to needlessly suffer in fear .....  and jesus wept, then he got really pissed !      Then they killed him , and still do , the children, idol worshipers, of abraham's devil god ..... IDIOTS , blind fools, hypocrites ....  

you added those last 3 sentences just for show -_-

on a site note... congradulations on adding something to a non-sexual discussion, we're all very, very proud of you!

(i vote yellow as our new sarcasm font, all in favor?)

edit; damn it all! why stupid color no change! whaaaaah

OK guys...I suggested a free, simple way to convert files so you can listen to Mindcore's (or anyone else's) podcasts.

Whether or not one is a computer geek, or one prefers Apple stuff (I do! I do!) or not, an MP3 file will not sound as good as an AAC file.  For more information about AAC (as much as I hate Wikipedia, it is good enough for this):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

Apple did NOT invent this technology. Remember Dolby labs (oh gawd, some of you probably do not)? They had a hand in it...along with Nokia, At&T, and others. 

BTW, I use both a Dell PC and Apple computers and have iTunes on every computer in the house and have never once had a problem. Not once! And my 83 year old mother uses iTunes on her PC with Vista. She downloads podcasts. She is not a computer geek, I can assure you.

But always back up your files...

Amazing Ento! i despise every one of those companies you listed! wow... creepy

Even Dolby labs? NOOO! I know some of those old guys! From my audio days! Ah...life goes by so fast!!

  ---- Yea, I try to sneak a little preaching in .....

   ---- Thanks man, but them girls got me so addicted, Slavery they bring , girls got cooties, love bugs, one bite and the love drug is injected, and one can never get free, never get back to innosense, Condemned we are, as the Pope has warned Sex is a drug .... glad I didn't take his advice, addiction and slavery to this drug is wonderful ! 

   In honor of my late mom's wish, that I be an atheist preacher, I try to put in a little effort. BUT Geezz, why is this still necessary, Damn it, I just want to chase the girls .... shezzz people, can't we just do everything for FUN .....  please please .... I agree with Bob Black,

"THE ABOLITION OF WORK"  (((  this can be found in MP3 podcast, way inspiring ....

Its called Crabs, IAGAY... and they can be cured

nay, cooties are invisible, no known logical easy cure , not even castration ,  some take the suicide solution ! 

Ummm, I must check in on RRS Matt , he's really got it bad, lucky friend, he just don't know what lucky is !!!    

1: Download VLC media player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
2: Run the install program.
3. Start VLC.
4: Open the File menu and select Open Network Stream.
5: Select the HTTP/... option and copy and paste into the URL box from the long URL in the original post.  (To copy the URL in Firefox, right click on "Listen to this episode" and select "Copy Link Location." )
6: Click OK.
7: Enjoy!

Or you can download the .m4a file and just open it with VLC.

VLC is an open source audio/video player that knows many audio/video formats and runs on multiple operating systems.

I love the comparison of the RRS to Malcolm X.  Great work mindcore!

Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to respond, i just found out about these responses today. If you search "mindcore" on the iTunes store, the podcast is there.

I'm sorry about the m4as, but for some reason when I save the files from my editing software as mp3s they are 150 megabytes or more, and when I turn them to m4as they are much, much smaller. There are probably a hundred tricks that I could do to make them shrink, but because of school I'm a little to busy to figure it out for the next few months.

If anyone wants to make them as mp3s and repost them, I will not be offended.

If anyone wants a CD just send me an email at [email protected] and I will send you a CD with the episode burned on it.

Thanks to everyone for trying to check it out.

MP3 size, there should be a simple options box there to choose; 64 - 128 - up to 360. 64 works fine for my old ears, especially for dialog ..... 128 is most common it seems.

Hamby was right... you DID run out of Rum O_O
