one thing you could do is just cast to twitch.tv and stream your browser window while playing the Music page from the beginning. if left to its own devices it would just play through the entirety of all the tracks..

Re: How will this year be different? How will it be the same? (42 replies, posted in General Discussion)
- i got an iPad this year, so i'll probably spend time figuring out different ways to use it for DAW-type stuff, recording, mangling etc.
- still don't feel like i'm adept enough at most desktop DAWs so i'll probably steep myself more in them
- will try to establish reusable workflows for live recording and/or sound design
- increased focus on getting more confident with mastering, multiband compression, cleaner mixes, etc.
already did the full 52 last time, so i'm not feeling as much pressure to satisfy EVERY week.

Re: scrape-able song pages for sharing? (1 replies, posted in General Discussion)
btw, i believe this page outlines the general approach. those instructions are primarily meant for angularJS apps, and while i'm sure this site wasn't done with angular, the secret sauce seems to be in adding a couple of .htaccess rules for the relevant User Agents, plus something to handle the resulting redirect.

Topic: scrape-able song pages for sharing? (1 replies, posted in General Discussion)
not sure if this was brought up before, but is the possibility of scrapeable WB song URLs (for correctly populating things like facebook share links with more specific content than the baseline WeeklyBeats project description) out of the question?
as i understand it, the AJAX-heavy nature of this site would probably make the populating of META or FB opengraph tags moot. i think the only alternative left is to have the server detect requests from common web scrapers and then serve up to them a bare-bones static page containing only relevant metadata, such as song title + author + description?
anyway, i don't really know exactly how much of of a technical rabbit hole this would entail, but this would help make sharing a lot easier and clearer.

Re: The End! ...And so long! (92 replies, posted in General Discussion)
it's been a crazy year - some weeks' results surprising, some weeks disappointing, but always educational. this is coming from someone who used to take YEARS to finish ONE song.
overall, i'm actually quite proud of the average quality of my output -- some of the tracks were painfully short but i still tried my best to not phone it in and i can name very few passages that are "horribly embarrassing" enough to the point that i regretted venturing there.
thanks everyone for providing constant inspiration and encouragement by sticking it through. thanks especially to Phil Harmonic for being so forgiving of my frequent last-minuteness!

thanks big time. it turns out that my uploading of the mp3 kept killing the iphone's hotspot, requiring a reboot and reinitialization of thr iphone's hotspot settings. go figure. now that i've found a stable wifi connection it's all sorted out now.
