HOW TO USE OTE_AUDIO_FILES.txt

Attached is a text file containing 1,295 URLs to individual OTE .mp3 downloads. Use this in conjunction with your favorite downloader.

Episodes are listed in order of their appearance using the python API query:

internetarchive.search_items('collection:OTE')

An example URL:

https://archive.org/download/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me.mp3

In your own text editor, if you search and replace all instances of .mp3 with another audio format, you can obtain those files as well (if they were generated).

Example file formats:

https://archive.org/download/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me.wav (replaced .mp3 with .wav)
https://archive.org/download/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me.flac (replaced .mp3 with .flac)
https://archive.org/download/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me.ogg (replaced .mp3 with .ogg)

Example torrent file:

https://archive.org/download/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me/OTE_19900816_Fire_Walk_with_Me_archive.torrent (replaced .mp3 with _archive.torrent)

A typo in one archive.org entry was repaired for this list: Tese.mp3 became TestWave.mp3

As of this writing, the archive.org OTE catalog counts 1,294 canonized episodes.

This text file contains 1,295 episodes, after subtracting 3 duplicate archive.org entries:

The Serial Show (retained) vs. Serial Show (removed)
Throbbing Zeppelin (retained) vs. Throg Zeppelin (removed)
The Edge of Lenny Bruce (retained) vs. What God Rot (removed)

..and adding 4 online contributions from Finnius (OGG and MP3 only):

Negativland vs. Farmington Sound Machine
The Zoo
Moonrock Footnotes Part 15
God Nose Runs Again

Because this text file only lists fully qualified/tested URLs to individual audio files, it does not include 5 additional episodes contributed by Finnius in a single .RAR file:

2001.03.16 Whatever's Lying Around
2001.06.21 The Black Death Debate
2005.06.23 All Art Radio 5 (complete episode)
2008.02.29 How Radio Was Done 69
2009.05.29 Music Is 3

As of this writing, the Finnius bundle can still be downloaded + extracted here:

https://archive.org/download/otenotinarchive/ote%20not%20in%20archive.rar

After downloading that .rar you can rename it to .zip if your unarchiver is having difficulties.

Perhaps the day will come when we can apply this approach to the KPFA archives.
