I’m wondering how many less people downloaded from the Church website since it was so amazingly easy to get the videos of the talks through itunes. That’s what I did this time.

Good, shipping at the end of November now.

I applaud the improvements made to the General Conference mp3s. Higher resolution album artwork, talk title is the track title, and better overall ID3 tags. It’s much less work for me to clean up now when I add it to my listening library.

Thank you!

I’m still waiting for the CDs I ordered. I’m wondering if I should have just burned conference to CD rather than sending in the order.

Any idea how much longer it will be until they arrive? I’m on the subscription plan (I thought it would speed things up).

I agree with Jay about Linux support. Audio (and of course text) is no problem with Linux, but once you start requiring third-party software that doesn’t work on Linux the video becomes problematic.

Tim,
Maybe I can do another post with the live statistics we have for General Conference streaming. With regard to archive language views, English, Spanish, and Portuguese (in that order) are most popular. That should be no surprise, but the fourth most popular language may be surprising; it’s American Sign Language. Fifth is Japanese and sixth is French. Let me know if there is a particular language you are interested in.

Cody,
Those are our two theories as well. I think it’s probably a combination of both.

Is there a further analysis by language? I’m also curious if there are statistics for live views.

Cody: I thought the same thing about the Saturday morning session – people wanting to catch-up.

I found it interesting that the most popular session downloaded was the Saturday morning session. Do you have a guess as to why? I have two theories … either a) it’s the one most missed by the general public due to conflict in schedules or otherwise and so folks are catching up on what they missed or b) those who are going back and listening to Conference start out by downloading the Saturday morning session first, followed by the afternoon, etc. I’m interested to know what you think. Thanks.

Is there any movement for the move player to support linux? I know I’m in a small minority, but it would be nice to have it supported natively. I haven’t got the work-around to install firefox (with required plugins) under wine to work just yet with the lds.org content. Anyway, if you have any input into what platforms Move Networks decides to support here’s at least one vote for linux support.
