Hey folk, Since it's a nice day, and I've almost finished my new bedroom (and cut the grass), I thought I'd stick up a limited 7 day download for my sought after K.o.L rework! The track has been supported Tiesto, Mike Koglin, Andy Moor, Mark Sherry & Jules himself on his Radio 1 show. Something nice for the summer. This won't see the light of day unfortunately so here it is for the kind folk who have been asking about it! Enjoy! Clicky wick

If it's a Jules-related upload, safe to upload it at 192kbps and don't worry about the size. We have lots of shows that are well more than 150MB+ in size to download and according to our stats they go like hot cakes when they're first posted. Minidisc is a good medium and generally if you record a digital source onto it, Sony's ATRAC encoding is said to force an equivalent of about 224-256kbps quality max on it (that's without activating any of the long play functions - pretty damn good considering their size compared to a normal CD). From an analogue source, then adjust it accordingly - for instance, a very clear radio broadcast recorded onto it will probably sound fine in 192kbps. I have a top-range MD player so I can rip stuff from it quite easily but you can do the same through any portable player by hooking a lead from the headphone socket of it into the Line In on your computer. PM me if you have any problems

he means mp3 bitrate. What I use is a 1/3 jack to 2 phono lead: http://www.djstore.com/item.php?item=sky104984 then use audacity (free download software) to record.

I normally record it straight thru to my PC, normally kin 112 or 96 kbps, as when it comes to downloading no one is gonna be interested in a mix thats over 100mb! I've learnt that lesson. Some of the mixes I have had recorded thru mini-disc and then upped on the PC, normally ones that I have taken from a set I have done out.

Once you are in "Network and Sharing Center" (either right click on your network icon or find it in control panel), this is exactly what I was referring to, then see if you can follow the rest of my instructions:

Wireless is notorious for being quirky to get to work, but once it does it's very reliable. Get on phone to the helpline and if they can get you connected physically by cable, they should be able to fix the wireless connection settings for you using remote access... you'll need a few hours free though

i've got sky broadband wait for your pc to find your connection then enter the key written on the back of your router

PS: I'm not familiar with the Sky router so not sure how to access its admin panel - but usually, normally you have to type ONE of the following into your web browser bar (the bit where you normally type in www.blahblahblah.com) 192.168.1.0 - if that doesn't work then try the one below 192.168.0.1 - if that still don't work, then try the next one - if that doens't work, then keep going until one works 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.0 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.2 Its very rare that router manufacturers go beyond 192.168.2.2 so i'd stop at that point. Usually the login is "admin" and the passwords are usually "admin" or just left blank.

What you'd need to do is connect wired to the router, enter the routers admin panel and look for the wireless settings. Give the wireless network a name, set up security (so that neighbours can't tap into your wireless network), and make sure the wireless network is activated. Then, the next time you go wireless, it should list all of the wireless networks it finds. Click on the one that you set up, enter your security code, and then away you go
