I intended to move my content onto the Internet Archive to avoid slamming the site with .mp3 downloads. The music I’m putting is all CC licensed non-commercial, so there’s really no point in keeping it on my site if IA will do so many cool things for me.
Well, in two days I transfered about 6G of just these three .mp3 files. That’s pretty cool, and thanks to all the people who listened to it. I’ve got more stuff in the works, like actual songs this time. Watch for something later tonight.
You can find the page for the pelog scale tests at this spot on IA and you can find my minor arpeggios over dominant chords test over here on IA and this means you can get any format they support. Right now it looks like various versions of mp3, as well as Ogg. There’s also some meta data XML files, but I don’t see an XSPF playlist. Seems kind of odd they wouldn’t have something so simple that is potentially going to be IETF supported.
Moving the content should have no impact on people playing music off the embedded XSPF player. It’s interesting because, this kind of demonstrates that with a decentralized player not tied to a proprietary format, I’m able to just move my content to whoever gives me the best deal in hosting.
