in Internet Explorer, I went to ftp://bigfool.com
and logged in with the password and such
and it just showed up as folders. as if I was in Windows Explorer. so I copied and pasted them into a file on my computer.

Interesting, because when I do that I get a "cannot find server/DNS error."

For those who don't know from FTP clients, I like this one.
Install it and run it.
File --> Connect.
URL = bigfool.com.  User name and password as above.  Everything else, leave the default.  Click OK.
Left-hand window is your computer.  Navigate to where you want to put the files.
Right-hand window:  Open "Catie n Goo" (you're welcome to the other stuff there if you want). 
Select the whole dang list of files.
Click the button with the red, downward arrow on it.
Zing!  Watch it go!

Have at it.

I think I may post mine for you folks to download too.  I like that idea.

I will however send to those people who have already sent me their addresses, or to anyone who has sent me a mix this year.

I am downloading The Mayor's mix now, on which I have heard only one song previously, so I'm excited. I've never even heard *of* some of these bands/artists before, so I am hoping that I find something new. That is kind of the point of mix discs, no?

I downloaded the Zart mix.. I know most those bands but not those songs weirdly.. heh.
Yay to Movietone!  they just aren't mentioned often enough.

[ETA:  yep, was quite good.  I'm a fan of shoegaze/britpop

Speaking of which, around the same time as downloading the mix, I downloaded this which semi-reminded me of shoegaze even if it is listed as post rock.. it's that guitar distortion I guess.. hah]

I'm glad it's having that effect for somebody, because I was worried my mix is all passe.  I know starlight won't find anything new there; hell, I think she introduced me to a couple of the artists via her illegal download-filled livejournal.

I downloaded another mix you had too, Mr. Mayor.  I hope that is okay.

Where are your other mixes located Mr. Mayor?  Also, how do you get Zart's mix?  Where is that?

Zart's mix.  I think you have to sign up with RapidShare to obtain it; maybe other, more computer-savvy people can dispute this, though.

If you go to the FTP site mentioned previously, you can find another mix in a folder called "Centreville QC."  That's the 2004 year-end jobby.

That's the one I downloaded also, Mr. Mayor, but I haven't had a chance to listen to either of them yet because I need to fill in the ID3 tags so my iPod will know how to play them.

You don't. At the bottom there's an button to click to just use the free version of radidshare. Then it'll make you watch a counter go down from 60 to penalize you for using the free version. Once the counter hits zero the actual download link will appear.

Righto, but you still have to download it.  But I'm lazy about that sort of thing, so this may just be a hassle for me.
