What kind of radio shows are available on Our Golden Radio? Our Golden Radio provides the easiest access to the genre usually known as OTR, or old time radio. Another term for it would be The Golden Age of Radio. Most of the shows are from three decades; 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. This was a fabulous time in radio and shows from this era are as enjoyable today as they were when they were first broadcast. You'll find a very wide variety of shows available on Our Golden Radio.

Can I burn the shows to CD? You certainly can burn these shows to CD. There are two ways of doing this. You can burn them as MP3 files, which allows you to get LOTS of content on each CD, but you'd need one of the latest home or car players which can now play MP3 CD's. Older players can only play audio CD's.

The second way is to burn them as audio files. Using the latter allows you to listen to whatever you burn on a normal CD player, but you will only be able to fit around 75 minutes of content on each 80 minute CD-R.

For instruction on doing either using iTunes please visit http://www.apple.com/au/itunes/burn/
How do I record these shows to cassette so I can listen on my cassette player? If you want to record MP3 files to cassette you will need a lead to run directly from the "Out" socket on the sound card of your computer to the "In" socket (or phono plugs) of your cassette deck. Usually this will be something like a stereo jack plug to two standard phono plugs. If this all sounds a bit technical for you don't worry. Give any local electronics dealer(Radio Shack, Best Buy, Future Shop etc) a call and they will know exactly the kind of lead you need. The good news is it should only cost you a few dollars at most. Once you've got the lead set up it is a simple matter of pressing record on your cassette deck and then playing the file you wish to record on your computer. The downside of using cassettes rather than burning to CD is that you have to record in real time. That means, if a show is 30 minutes long it will take you 30 minutes to record to cassette so it can all be very time consuming.
Is there an easy way to catalog the files that I have downloaded? The easiest option for cataloging the Old Time Radio shows you have is using the built in cataloging ability of iTunes. All of Our Golden Radios shows are specifically formatted so they can be easily and automatically cataloged by most popular players, such as iTunes. Another option is to use Media Monkey Standard a free software that will automatically scan your computer for audio files and catalog them, it is available from www.download.com for free. http://www.download.com/MediaMonkey-Standard/3000-2141_4-10109807.html
