Run, Forrest, run

I'm an avid runner and I like to work out whilst listening to trance music, for it helps me to maintain a steady pace. But of late, I've been unhappy with the items on offer in alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.dance. Most of it may be very pleasant after having ingested a steady quantity of methylone or MDMA, I tend to favour a drug-free running environment.

So here's my solution.

1) Go to DI FM, which offers trance music with lots of vocals and enough consonants and predictable rhythms to help you concentrate on the distance to go, rather than distract you all the time
2) Download StreamRipper32 here
3) Add DI FM's Shoutcast streaming url to StreamRipper 32, select a directory where you want to store your new MP3's and start downloading. (I have to try about ten times on average before it starts to grab the Shoutcast stream, so some initial patience is required.)
4) Wait for about a day or so, and you'll have a nice dir full of MP3 files. I tend to convert all of it to WMA using dBPowerAMP because that way I can cram more music on my Nike Philips MP3RUN player / podometer.

Niets te danken, Super de Boer.
