Hit or Miss

I spent yesterday listening (thanks to a free 3-day trial of XM Radio over the internet) and recording (thanks to OpD2d, a direct-t0-disk audio recorder) the 12-hour Wall to Wall Sondheim Concert. The audio stream stopped a few times to buffer, resulting in silent pauses in the files I recorded. I’d like to strip out the internal silences, but all the software I’ve found just trims silence from the beginning and end of files. Anyone know of a (free) program that does that?

And while I’m trolling for software suggestions… I’m loving my Mac Mini, but I’m having trouble using it for web development because I haven’t found an OSX FTP program that works like WebDrive (which maps my webserver as a drive letter) on the PC. I know that TextWranger on the Mac can open and save text files through FTP, but it’s not the same as having a locally mounted FTP drive.

You know you can do it directly from OS X, right? In the Finder, you choose “Connect to Server…” from the Go menu. You log in, and it’s like having a local disk.

For many reasons, a lot of people prefer a dedicated utility like Transmit. But the built-in one gets the job done.

Unfortunately, connecting to a FTP site in Finder gives you Read-Only access. That won’t allow me to save my HTML files directly to my server.

Hi. Is there any chance of purchasing a copy of the program you recorded? I heard a bit of it outside the theatre (couldn’t get in) and was amazed. How wonderful that you got to preserve it. Thanks–Josh Getlin
