    Hi,

    I just reread your mail and wanted to try answering a couple more
    questions.

    I'm not sure what you mean by having the playlists created in Audacity.
    Are they single sound files? If they aren't, you could always export the
    playlists into single sound files and do things that way. Or you can
    import the individual sound files that make up the playlists and then
    re-create your playlist inside Campcaster.

    Campcaster uses a format called SMIL as its playlist format. This is a
    simple XML document that tells the player which files to play. The files
    are stored on the filesystem, but they are renamed to match the unique
    identifier that the Campcaster Storage Server database has given them.

    Hope this helps,

    douglas

    Hi there.

    I'm in a school and our radio is powered by campcaster.

    While upgrading to ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn the upgrade process freezed in
    postgresql-common.

    Now the system is completely unstable. I'm thinking in a fresh
    reinstallation this time with hardy.

    Myu problem is that the students have created a bunch of playlists in
    audacity and import them to campcaster.

    I need to save these musics that are in the music database but I don't
    know how to do it.

    Does campcaster install the music database in filesystem?

    Any help is welcome!!!

    Thanks in advance

    Hi douglas.

    Thanks for your quick response!!

    In fact we are using audacity because we need to create playlists with the exact duration of class breaks, like 10 or 20 minutes.

    Is audacity we create an ogg or mp3 file with the 10 or 20 exact minutes with several musics.

    I've tried to put this in work with campcaster but the playlist editor don't let us crop one music. If that music is 10'35'' we want to cut it in exact 10'. I don't know how to do this in campcaster. But maybe the xml allow that, I will investigate that.

    I'm trying to save that audacity work which is stored in campcaster database.
    So my question is: where are musics stored in campcaster? In filesystem in the postgresql database? How can I export them back to mp3 or ogg files.


    We are in a private school in Lisbon-Portugal http://www.cscm-lx.pt and we have started the radio club bradcasting music inside our school. The radio is on air since December last year and is powered by campcaster.

    Thanks again!!
