Early access: playing M4A audio
Wookiee-Cast episodes are released as M4A files first, and converted to MP3 and Ogg Vorbis later. If you can't wait for it to be converted, here are some instructions.

Windows
To play AAC files in any DirectShow-compatible media player (like Windows Media Player), install the AAC codec.
 * Download the ZIP archive.
 * Extract it to any folder. Just remember not to delete it.
 * Run register_release.bat.

If you don't care what media player to use, you can use VLC, which can play nearly every audio and video format in existence with the default install.

Linux
Both the GStreamer and Xine backends support AAC audio, and your distribution may already have the necessary codecs installed. If not, this means MP3 support is probably also absent by default. If your distribution does not play M4A/AAC files out of the box, consult its official website or IRC channel for information on how to enable them.

If you don't care what media player to use, you can install MPlayer or VLC from your distribution's software repository. Both support AAC playback via the libfaad decoder.

Mac
They can be played out of the box.

 * What's that? It gives me a window with two buttons: "I have iTunes" and "Download iTunes". I don't want to download iTunes. - Sikon 05:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah what about my user thing. Darth tader ( General ) [[Image:MandalorianKOTOR.jpg|20px]] 20:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What user thing? .  .  .  .  05:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I mentioned earlier about like mentioning users more often to make them feel like noticed. I don't know any user that does stuff but isn't noticed this is there place to be. And you know what would be awesome, A JOKE! Darth tader ( General ) [[Image:MandalorianKOTOR.jpg|20px]] 20:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * All podcasts should replace musical themes with the Star Wars main title. - Patricknoddy The Jedi Council [[Image:Obiwanprofile.jpg|20px]] 14:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello, I think you should open the segments with the Duel of Fates Music. It would give a very ineresting appeal.
 * It appears at the beginning of all six movies. - Patricknoddy The Jedi Council [[Image:Obiwanprofile.jpg|20px]] 11:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * "Random QDB quote of the week", similar to the random article of the week. You open the QDB main page and read whatever quote is there. - Sikon 05:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Several of us have noted that the show is rather lacking in the Ernest Borgnine department. The next WC could really benefit from some Borgnine. -- Ozzel 05:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. You've got to give me SOME reason to listen to an hour-long Wookiee-Cast when I could instead be spending that time watching one of my Airwolf DVDs. If you can also squeeze in a Mach One-plus chopper that can kick butt, that would be sweet. jSarek 08:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I have noticed a massive Borgnine gap in my DVD collection. Could I fill it with Rex Harrison? .  .  .  .  08:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I just bought The Poseidon Adventure. That should help for some future episodes. .  .  .  .  22:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We could throw in a "you killed her" and other random spouts of anger towards the preacher from that movie as well as other Borgnine movies. Heck, do some Telly Savalas, Paul Neuman, and George C. Scott while you're at it. --  Riffsyphon  1024 04:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Submissions
''If you have any content to submit, paste the URL here, and it will be reviewed by the content director. If it is accepted into the show, you will be notified.''

Foreign Objects
If you can name every foreign object from Episode II of the Wookiee-Cast, submit the titles to me, and if you win, I'll Mount Sorrow-ify an in-universe character article that has not been an FA of your choosing. Actually, bugger it, just post them below. But here this: This comp only applies to the current Wookiee-Cast of each week.

Episode II
And there we have it. I also seem to have discovered a connection between several of the songs used and the good ol' U.S. of A. Am I on to something? How'd I do? -- Ozzel 07:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ozzel here. Okay, with a little (or more) help, I think I have them. I'll try to make up for the lack of info on some with superfluous info on others. Sorry if they're out of order, but I'm too lazy to try and fix 'em:
 * 1) Song from A Shot in the Dark (by Henry Mancini)
 * 2) Maurice LeMarche playing... I'm gonna say Captain Kirk on Futurama. Second guess would be Harvey Birdman.
 * 3) That wacky sound from Duran Duran's title song from A View to a Kill (written by them and John Barry). In fact, it makes me want to go dance into a fire right now.
 * 4) "The Wookiee-Cast" is edited from dialogue from Kevin Burns' Empire of Dreams. I believe the first part is Mark Hamill, from a line which ends with "has no pants."
 * 5) "A Horse With No Name", by America. I've heard this before, but I just couldn't place it, so I got it as a freebie.
 * 6) Not sure if these two count, because they are both 4dot. One is a quasi-Sulu impersonation, with "This Wookiee-Cast is...". The other is 4dot's Hulk... I mean... Daala impersonation saying "ISD GO SMASH."
 * 7) "Something". Apparently this is a Beatles song? Sorry, not a huge fan, but I did recognize the tune.
 * 8) "New York State of Mind". I'm partial to Floyd Pepper's version on the Muppet Show, personally.
 * 9) Midnight Oil - "U.S. Forces"
 * 10) "The Ice Planet Hoth", some unused music "from Empire Strikes Back, or something."
 * You win. .  .  .  .  07:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Episode III

 * 2) Maurice LeMarche on Futurama
 * 3) That wacky sound from Duran Duran's title song from A View to a Kill
 * 4) Empire of Dreams

 * 6) Superman Returns DVD (Ugh.)

 * 8) Billy Joel - The Entertainer

Episode IV

 * 4) ROTJ DVD.
 * 5) 1978 Superman film.
 * 6) GoldenEye opening theme.
 * 7) View to a Kill opening theme.
 * 8) "The Wookiee-Cast" is edited from dialogue from Kevin Burns' Empire of Dreams. (Thanks, Ozzel).
 * 9) Billy Joel - The Entertainer -- http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 00:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * (That would be GoldenEye.) Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]]

The Anderson Tapes
Okay, this is basically a segment which will allow you, the user, to have a soapbox. On which to stand. Submit an audio file of you ranting on a Star Wars topic, and it will be reviewed by our content director. If it's funny, or interesting enough, it'll go into the show. Simple. Keep it clean, though.
 * Wait a minute. Are you telling people to do something you don't particularly do, fourdot? :-P Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 17:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
