1/12/2004 Town Board Meeting Audio

This is a test!

I have a new gadget which allows digital recording up to 14 hours! It's called the i-BEAD. It's about the size of a pack of gum and also plays MP3s, FM Stereo and works as a 256MB Flash drive. I used the digital recording capability to record the entire Town Board meeting tonight. The resulting file is 8.37 MB and is 36 min 21 sec long. I've put it up here two ways. One is a web page that will start playing the file as soon as you go to it. The other is a link to the actual sound file. I think the best way is to download the file to your disk and then you can play it from there. You would do that by right clicking on the link below and select save to disk. (Control click on a Mac) The volume is a tad low as the board was several feet from me. Turn up your volume before you play it. I may be able to increase the gain with software but I haven't looked into that yet. About 23 minutes into the recording the furnace came on and that didn't help. All in all I think it worked very well, but I could use some feedback from you. Let me know what you think.
