Tim HarfordHOST
Andy eventually moved to another tech company and paid close attention to two things that General Magic had neglected.
Tim HarfordHOST
Number one, what's new and exciting and possible given current technology? Number two, what deadline can we set ourselves to keep us on track? The answer to the first question was that there was a new way to compress digital music, the MP3, and ever-cheaper hard drives.
Tim HarfordHOST
The combination of the two might allow a digital music player that could make portable cassette and CD players obsolete.
Tim HarfordHOST
The answer to the second question, it's January 2001, and we're gonna ship something by Christmas.
Ed SpinaGUEST
So of course, I'm going to share everything I know with anyone who asks me, you know, how do you do this and how do you get to that point? But I did mention earlier, the most important thing is raising your vibration.
Ed SpinaGUEST
And the best way to do that is find someone who's got the higher vibration or has MP3s or CDs that have this higher vibration in it and immerse yourself in this vibration as often as, as frequently as you can.
Ed SpinaGUEST
Because after a while, this is what I experienced, you, you can hold on to the, the higher vibration for longer periods of time and keep going higher and higher.
Ed SpinaGUEST
And that's, that's, that's the secret of almost everything.

Ed SpinaGUEST
He just said, "Okay, say it again." And so I said the same thing again.
Ed SpinaGUEST
And then I just felt them there like as if they were considering, and then they just faded away.
Ed SpinaGUEST
But then I got the inspiration to have my next, uh, package with MP3s to feature the, the ascended masters.
Ed SpinaGUEST
[clears throat] And I picked out eight of them.
Nate WilcoxHOST
Yeah, I mean, this is, like, kinda the rabbit trail of all rabbit trails, but you've documented it all, and done the research, traveled, bought CDs, which sorta dates the book, but that's what you were doing when you...
Nate WilcoxHOST
You were researching this in the '90s and the noughts, so it was all about CDs and then MP3s.
Nate WilcoxHOST
And it's just a great story, and, and yeah, you, you, you talk about how it's the story of American culture, but it's also, you say it's the story of technology, globalization, packaging, marketing, and the rise of recorded sound.
Nate WilcoxHOST
And that definitely wraps it up.
KneonHOST
So I was trying to save space.
KneonHOST
But I had hundreds and hundreds of CDs I accumulated over the years, and I converted a lot of those to MP3s.
KneonHOST
got rid of the physical discs and I regretted it because some of those discs like aren't even available anymore.
KneonHOST
And the file's not quite the same thing as being able to, you know, pull a jewel case out and look through the booklet or, you know, get your vinyl out or something.

Tim FrekeGUEST
To me, the analogy I want to use is when you listen to music.
Tim FrekeGUEST
And if you're listening to music and your heart's racing and you're just like, yeah, this is so good, and I come along and go, you know that's just ones and zeros on an MP3, don't you? It doesn't change it.
Tim FrekeGUEST
It just goes, go down to its simplest form, and it's digital.
Tim FrekeGUEST
Come right up, and it's beautiful.
Tim FrekeGUEST
It's gone through these different levels.
Tim FrekeGUEST
It starts as information, so it's all information.
Tim FrekeGUEST
But like the MP3, it's much more as it gets bigger.
Tim FrekeGUEST
Until now, it's like beauty and images and music and art and love and all of those things.
Brady BogenHOST
But you can put it on computers.
Brady BogenHOST
Yeah, now he sends over the little MP3s.
Brady BogenHOST
Yeah, like a
John HolmbergHOST
thumb drive or something.
Paul AsadoorianHOST
Do you remember work on now?
Larry PescePANELIST
Did you ever build a streaming, uh, uh, head unit for your car? So you could have like MP3s built right into the car.
Paul AsadoorianHOST
Oh, I think I remember looking into that.
Paul AsadoorianHOST
I don't know if they ever built one though.
Brian FischlerHOST
Claude told me, in Safari, go to the Develop menu, which I have enabled, because I open pages in Chrome a lot from that page.
Brian FischlerHOST
go into the JavaScript console, and it gave me a code that turned all the MP3s on that page into downloadable links.
Brian FischlerHOST
And then it gave me another code that I pasted in the terminal, and bam, it downloaded the latest songs.
Brian FischlerHOST
Nice.
Janine StanleyHOST
is there something similar for Chrome that you can do in developer mode?
Allison MeloyHOST
But you can also go into the co-work mode of Claude.
Allison MeloyHOST
And you could have told it, here's the website, download all these MP3s.
Allison MeloyHOST
So there's multiple ways you could do it.
