An AA comments...
Thanks very much to Jeff who left this comment:
And about getting mp3s of AA speakers for your iPods: www.XA-SPEAKERS.org has taken care of all that for us. And happily for free -- the way this message must always come! I was as enthusiastic about XA Speakers when I found out about it as Jeff is about the AA Radio Meeting. I mailed the XA Speaker folks a shoebox with 30 of my favorite AA Tapes! (And they are in Iceland.) I really support what they are doing over there and most of the tapes streaming at the AA Radio Meeting come from them.
I am happy to report that I have received an e-mail from a listener who says she has some tapes that she may be sending for our listening pleasure -- and I'm hoping she will include her own share. It would be nice to hear some regular speakers in the mix with all these polished "event" speakers. So please -- contact me about getting your share streaming in with the others. And Jeff -- send your tapes, too.
And about getting more speakers into the stream, I can try to lower the quality. We have 8 tapes up now, which maxes us out. If I drop down to the next quality level I may be able to get 12. And I suppose if people contributed we could expand the account to accomodate more but it feels really early for that. Perhaps when there is more participation from a more stable and active group of AAs it would be appropriate to discuss it then.
And there is a very brief and fun share just added from a friend of mine who was a great help to me when I came into the program. It's only about three minutes long but it's hysterical! Enjoy.

WOW...Thank you! This site is awesome. It makes meetings available 24x7 and comes in real handy when I can't sleep. I think you previously mentioned a way to download the speakers to my iPod. Can you repost the instructions for that? Also, the quality of the streams are great so i don't know if decreasing the quality a bit in order to get more space for more tapes would have that much of an impact or not. My vote would be to try it. Also, it'd be kinda cool if you could charge for downloads a bit to get the necessary $ to upgrade to larger space if that's at all possible. I'd pay for speakers that i like to download them if I knew the $ was going to help maintain this site.
I think you're providing an awesome service. Keep up the good work. I have quite a few speakers online that I'll work on sending to you.
Thanks and God Bless....
