The HiFi Party

HiFi Party News...

The 5/10/21 show is up!

Monday nights 8:00 - 11:00PM ET on TopShelf Oldies

Hi everybody and welcome to the HiFi Party, home of the UNcommon oldie. Here's the tour. First up is this week's Second Chance Survey Further down, you'll come to the Show Archives. Most entries but the latest follow this format... I recommend the archives "Streaming" option, but if you want to save the show, right click on Download and choose "save target as" (IE users), or for Firefox users, "save link as". On the far right of each show date is a link to the playlist. Much further down is a listening box for TopShelf Oldies with a link to their website. The chat box below that, allows you to join the TopShelf chatroom using either Mibbit on the left (the easy way) or dedicated chat software on the right (mIRC for instance). New folks opting for Mibbit, want to pay close attention (ie, read) the left hand side of the chat box, and act accordingly. On the right side, you'll find out about mIRC, which is the software the experienced folks here use for chatting. Further south is the TopShelf show calendar. Finally, you can email me with requests and/or comments. Thanks for visiting!

For the download option in the third column, right click any of the choices and save the file to your hard drive. Then, load it into your mp3 player or just play it on your pc. Ahh freedom. For help with what's playing, check out the playlist link. Each show will be encoded at 128kbps.
