*UPDATE*
March 19th, 2007
200MB, or about 150 additional files have been added to this collection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shows submitted in this collection come from a variety of sources during a period of 10 years collecting Old Time Radio. Some of the broadcasts are short, just a few seconds worth of the news of the day. Other broadcasts are complete, such as World News Today, An Hour of National Sorrow, London After Dark, etc. Some broadcasts are in crystal clear quality, others are very, very poor, but submitted here for historical purposes.

These encodes, unfortunetally, had to be submitted at the 16/11kbps bit-rate because the entire collection in its best quality would have been 1.50 GB. My ISP will not let me transfer that much information on an upload, so I had to down-size everything in order to get it all to the IA. However, since these are in a lower-bite rate, and thus have a smaller file size, they will be easily available to those on dial-up.

This collection includes four difference sources of OTR News I have found over the years. It is over 500 files in all, and around 543 MB in size.

This item is part of the collection: Old Time Radio

Notes

Before I uploaded these to The Archive, I made sure they all had complete ID3 tags. Somehow, during the upload, all the ID3 Tags got erased. The ID3 Tags still exist on my copies, and only the copied files to the archive were erased. With a program like ID3-Tag-It, you can easily input ID3 Tags yourself.

Some of these files can be found elsewhere on The Archive in better quality.
