Building an RMT collection
Many of us have the complete series (1400 shows) in .mp3 format. The set fits on 22-28 CDs, depending on the collector. Collectors build
their collections by trading CDs through the mail and downloading from newsgroups.
The .rm files for the Show of the Week are made from the .mp3 files; the mp3s sound a good deal better. I do not post the .mp3s because they are about 5x larger,
and the extra bandwidth causes the site to get pulled within hours. This way the site usually lasts a while.
In addition, the streaming lower quality of the .rm files makes it so the files are only useful for personal enjoyment of fans.
The CBSRMT Show of the Week encourages fans to buy RMT shows directly
from Himan Brown if/when he starts selling them. I don't expect it to be anytime soon. :-(
FAQ
- How should I bookmark this site?
Bookmark http://cbsrmt.listen.to
rather than the actual site URL, as the hosting site changes regularly.
- Why hasn't the show changed in a long time?
It changes every week. If you didn't bookmark the URL indicated above you are looking at an old site.
- How often does the show change?
1x/week, usually over the weekends.
- How do I save the file from the download link. Depends on the browser and server. You may have to:
- click on the download link; or
- rightclick on the link and select "save as", "save target" or whatever option your browser provides.
- etc, as required by your browser
You may have to rename the file to (whatever).rm
.
- Why can't I stream?. Depends on the server; some servers will not send the proper MIME types
which can confuse some browsers and media players. Try downloading instead, or try another browser.
- Why can't I download?. Depends on the server; some servers will not send the proper MIME types
which can confuse some browsers and media players. Try streaming instead, or try another browser.
- I downloaded the file but don't know where I put it. Where is it.
There's not a great deal I can do for you on this one. You might want to be more aware of where you save things on your hard disk.
Note that if you're downloading the .rm files to collect them, you're probably going about it the wrong way. Mp3 files
are how collectors trade/collect RMT.
- Can I request a show?
Show requests will be honored if possible. Some will not be possible (ie, was previously Show of the Week on this site, really bad audio, etc.).
Please request the show by shownumber and title (there can be multiple shows with the same title). "That show where a guy gets killed" is not good enough. :-) If you need help ID'ing a
file, see the RMT Database for help tracking it down.
Please limit yourself to a show or two in order to avoid hogging the queue. Understand that there are already several months of requests in the queue ahead of your request.
Note that when I pick shows I usually pick the ones with clearer audio. So shows that are picked by listeners may be more
variable in quality.
- Why all the banners/ads?
It's the cost of being hosted on free servers.
- Why does the site say bandwidth is exceeded?
Some free servers limit bandwidth, and may require the
site to be offline for a short time.
- Why does the site URL change?
The bandwidth consumed by listeners can make the Show of the Week site
unwelcome on some servers, so it has to move periodically.
