Download Chillin’ with Lovespirals #55 MP3
Ryan and Anji have been distracted by the new iPod 3G, checking out the music apps, making ringtones, and installing the podcasters iKit to make the podcast easily streamable from your iPod (or iPod Touch). Still, they’ve continued working on music and share a clip and behind the music story of their latest song in progress. The band also chat about Geoff Smith’s ringtone service, Last.FM paying royalties for song streaming, and meeting Brad of The National Pool in WOW. And, of course, they sneak in one more mention of Hungry Lucy, in particular, their song “Storm.” Just realized that, though we announce this as episode #54, technically it’s #55 because of the Lovespiralsgasms episode – shoot!

Congrats on the iPhone! I got a white one about a week ago. I love it!
On the ringtones: Yes, the iTunes Store was once the only way to get ringtones. People hated it as they had to buy the song, then again for the ringtone. Later, the Garageband solution came out. Actually, if you have an AAC file that is 40 seconds or less and you change the extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r”, iTunes will treat it as a ringtone.
Here in Australia, I thought I’d check out the iTunes Store ringtone feature, which was never available to us before we recently got the iPhone, but even though I’ve got over 12,000 songs in my library, I still have yet to find one that has an icon in the Ringtone column. No biggie. The Garageband technique is very well thought out.
Personally, I prefer soundbites to music for ringtones. Comedy works best.
Good work on the iPhone support for the site, but personally, this is not useful to me because I’ve got all the episodes and therefore there’s no point in streaming them. I hope you expand the iPhone optimisation to the main site itself. I’d love to be able to quickly read the show notes and enter a comment without lots of pinching and dragging.
hey jason,
if you have any ideas on how we could simplify the site/shownotes for the iphone, i am all ears!
