30 years ago, New Year's Eve 1971, I started taping the Top 100
songs off the radio. That year I used extra-thin tape on a 7" reel, in
quarter-track mono (meaning that the tape had 4 sides instead of 2),
to fit the whole show on one tape.
Within a few years, I had switched to 10" reels so I could record the
countdown in stereo, then came Beta HiFi and finally DAT.
Meantime, video went stereo, and in the 80's and 90's I recorded the
MTV countdown as well as the radio. MTV followed their countdown
with a party show of live music, and by the mid-90's I was looking for
all the live music on TV New Year's eve, in addition to the radio and
video countdowns.
In recent years, I went "off the beaten path" to find satellite feeds of
the Phish concert (2000), a Canadian concert, and even a rather
bizarre show for Cox cable.
This year, I stuck with established commercial broadcast channels
(ie, TV networks) but enhanced the process by recording the live
performance clips directly to DVD with the new Panasonic stand-
alone DVD recorder. There were a number of sources this year,
including ABC, FOX, MTV, dance music on MTV2, a countdown on
Much Music, & Leno, Conan, Kilborne, so...
I used 3 DirecTV feeds, plus my C-band (large) dish, Dish Network,
and ExpressVu (Canada), all into TiVo's and then to DVD and/or tape.
At once point I was taping 5 different sources at once. (I could have
gone up to 7 simultaneous sources, without even using my TV
antenna!)
I taped for 13 1/2 consecutive hours to make the "live performances"
DVD, which worked out almost exactly to 2 hours length - not
including the punk and metal from MTV, which I decided to put on a
separate punk and metal DVD. Bush played 4 songs on 2 different
shows, and with the TiVos I managed to get those consecutive for a
mini-Bush concert in the middle of the disc.
It's 5am now, but wait, the next big project is just starting! I've given
up on MTV's countdown (awful music) in favor of Much Music's
countdown (also awful so far), which they broadcast on New Year's
day, which is now, so I have another 8 hours of TiVo-buffered
(commercial edit) recording to tape ahead of me presently...
But wait, there's much much more! The KROQ countdown and new
year's eve party put 12 hours onto DAT - pretty much automatically
but with the commercials stuck on the tape (generally a no-no). And,
there were 10 hours of commercial-free DJ "techno" sets tonight on
MTV2 (formerly M2) - that went to TiVo and DishPVR. Those turned
out to be mainly audio (nothing important on the picture) so perhaps
to CDRs....
Plus, DirecTV added 2 new "FreeView" concerts this morning - Willie
Nelson and Bela Fleck, and MTV has a "USO" concert tomorrow
morning - this adds up to 6 hours --- With the KROQ and MTV2, that's
28 hours of pure music that I haven't even started working on... With
the 2hr DVD and 8 hours of Much countdown, that's 38 hours of music
total!
Plus, last night, trying to finish up 2001's news SVCDs, I finished a 4-
SVCD set of Ashleigh Banfield's travels in Afghanistan...
I wonder what I'll tape in 2002?

hi
what do YOU consider to be best, inexpensive hardware/software option for
taking material off a DAT recorder
for dumping it onto a hard drive in .WAV or .SHN format via EAC?
thanks

Hi,
The AC power supply for my DA-P1 bit the dust and I'm in need of another. I
seem to remember someone announcing that they had one for sale. Anyone have
one they don't need?
