iTunes 9/11 and the DNC
July 30, 2004 9:18 AM Subscribe
iTunes (and Audible) make the 9-11 Comission and speeches from the Democratic National Convention available for free downloads. Thought this was cool. Couldn't find a previous post about this, so pardon if a double post.
A link to Apple's web site isn't as helpful as links to the actual recordings. I don't think many would download iTunes if they didn't have it already, just to hear the recordings.
The convention speeches are here. Two separate files.
The executive summary of the 9/11 Commission Report is here.

Why would the RIAA care?
It is from Audible via C-SPAN Audio.

The convention speeches are also here, on the convention website, in non-DRMed MP3 format. Plus you only have to download the ones you want instead of the whole night's worth.

I think matteo was being sarcastic.
This is cool though and I will look forward to downloading the speeches tonight.
By the way, I'm glad someone linked to the actual download sites as there's nothing at iTunes that points the way so, a good SPP and a meager FPP.
But good info to have nonetheless.

D'oh. I'm clever enough to figure that out. Someday...

The mp3's from the convention's page have some distortions. Aside from that, they are 128kbs – better than iTunes's 32kbs.

No way for somebody in Canada to access the iTunes Music Store yet, is there?

Not sure if you know about this, rathikd, but Control-clicking (OK, right-clicking) on links inside the store will bring a up a contextual menu with an option to save the link to the clipboard. Also, you can drag links into text fields like e-mail messages and MeFi posting fields and such. Might be a Mac-only trick, though.
I didn't know the audiobook files in the iTunes store were lower quality. Huh.

Every time I try to download these files from iTMS i get:
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. An unknown error occured (-50)."
Lame. Thanks for the alt link, smackfu.
