Hi Stuart,
Personally, I think I'd prefer the longer issue at less-frequent intervals.
(I.e., quarterly.)
Regarding direct downloading of the magazine and related issues and questions:
At the moment, it seems that anyone can 'subscribe' to the podcast and not be a
member of VICS. Correct? Is that what we want? I thought the 10 euros anual
subscription also included the magazine, which was formerly unavailable to
those not in VICS. There were articles from other PC magazines courtesy of
readers for BCAB, in the issue that came out last winter. These articles would
be copyright of the original magazines (such as PC World, etc.) Need to be
careful there? These things may not matter at the moment; but if Infovics
expands, they will. I think it may be possible to download the magazine
directly at the moment, via the Save-Target-As option. Maybe a little futzing
around then to download the magazine rather than just the url to the stream. .

Hi Tony,
Apologies but I have had to change the subject line, for some reason the
Ecartis system thinks I am trying to make a subscription change, so here's
hoping this goes through!
Interesting comments there.
Firstly, you can't actually download Infovics, but you can subscribe to the
podcast, which will in turn download the mp3 file to your hard disk.
However, if people would prefer the option to directly download the magazine
I can easily make this change.
In particular though, I'm interested to hear your commenting that you prefer
a shorter Infovics at more regular intervals, to a more lengthy magazine,
say every three months.
>From a production point of view, a shorter magazine is obviously easier to
manage, but of course its only easier because we had very little material to
go onto it.
Could I get other's views on this? Is a shorter and more regular infovics
preferable to a three monthly edition?
Regards,
Stuart.

Hi All,
I have just been listening to Febs Infovics online and although it was
short, what particularly I was impressed with, was Brian Dalton's
mini-tutorial on the ripping programme, CDEX.
I have an iAudio player and had been wondering how I could rip tracks to my
PC as MP3's so I can then if I wish move them to my iAudio.
Anyway, problem solved
thanks to his great effort!
I haven't received the CD version of the magazine, so if you haven't then
just go online and listen!
I was trying for a link on the site to download but I couldn't find one!
Could someone come to the rescue and tell me how?
I can record the item of course but it would be good to be able to download
it!
Keep up the training element of Infovics, it is very good and very necessary
in my opinion.
I liked the link to Nationwatch, because sometimes for example when you go
away on holidays you might not always be told or even discover a great deal
of information about the place you are visiting.
Anyway I would prefer a shortened Infovics more often rather than a long one
every-so-often.
Happy listening.
Tony Sweeney.
