New audio player is on the website


higher quality, probably requires too much bandwidth to sound ok on modems (sorry)

With the new site design, I decided to finally ditch the old real-audio streaming tracks. I was never that happy with them because in order to make sure that you could still stream them over a modem, I had to keep their bit rate way down. Also, they were in a bunch of different versions of the real format and it was going to be a pain to keep them up to date. The real format itself is falling out of favor and a lot of people don't want to install the player on their systems anymore either. So I decided to create my own player in flash. The audio is much much better sounding now and you get some nice little features like the album cover and buy links and stuff. I know that it is kinda annoying to some people to go to a web page and have audio blare out at you, sorry about that. I'm still figuring out how to make the player more integrated and stuff so that you can surf around the site while listening. Right now, you have to keep the main page up to keep listening. Look for more improvements on that over the next month...

Anyway, you should check it out. Load up www.unitcircle.com/rekkids/ and listen to over two hours of tunes from Unit Circle Rekkids.
