WFMU podcasts

WFMU podcasts 01/06/2005 03:09 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Doron of WFMU sez: "WFMU, one of the nation's finest radio stations (and home to lots of boing-boing friendly music) has just launched podcast.wfmu.org. As you probably already know, some broadcast radio stations, BBC, NPR, WGBH have dabbled in podcasting, usually offering random clips or the odd talk show... WFMU is making seven of its shows available for podcast including three music shows.

"Two of the music shows (Antique Phonograph Music Program) and Thomas Edison's Attic consist of DJs hand-cranking old turntables to play cylinders and records dating from the 1880s to the 1920s and should hopefully fall under public domain while the third "Advanced D & D with Donna Summer" (aka Jason Forrest) plays breakcore and random CD-Rs from all over the place.

"The station would very much like to offer all of it's content for podcasting but like other people, we're a bit concerned about the legal ramifications. In any case, we're very excited to be offering our content in a way that allows listeners to hear our programs when and where they want to. hope you guys like it." Link

Republican podcasts

Republican podcasts 04/13/2005 08:36 AM
The Republican National Committee is pushing a podcast of Bob Dole talking about his new memoir, One Soldier's Story, part of a series on "new books by accomplished conservative authors." When I was a kid and there were still liberal Republicans such as Nelson Rockefeller, the joke about conservatives such as Barry Goldwater was that their idea of progress was putting an AM radio into their buggies. Haha. People were making the same joke about Ronald Reagan. But you sure can't make that joke now....

How I use FeedDemon to Receive Podcasts

How I use FeedDemon to Receive Podcasts 03/24/2005 06:17 PM

A couple of months ago I posted about how I use FeedDemon, and since it was a fairly popular post I thought I'd share with you how I use FeedDemon 1.5 to receive podcasts and sync them with my iPod.

In his article Payloads for RSS, Dave Winer talked about how RSS enclosures were intended to be downloaded while your computer is inactive (such as in the middle of the night). FeedDemon certainly supports this idea by enabling you to schedule your downloads, but I have to confess that I rarely use this feature anymore. I download only a handful of new podcasts every day, so I just let each download start right away. And although FeedDemon enables you to automatically download enclosures for specific feeds, I seldom use this feature since there aren't many feeds whose podcasts I always want to hear (in fact, I believe I only have automatic downloads enabled for my IT Conversations feed).

Instead, when there's a podcast I might want to listen to, I simply cick the enclosure icon to add it to my FeedStation download queue. I also make use of the fact that I can drag-and-drop a media link onto FeedStation to add it to the download queue. Chances are that most FeedDemon users don't know about that feature, but it's extremely handy - I regularly find myself drag-and-dropping MP3 links from Firefox onto FeedStation (note that this works from IE as well).

I generally add podcasts to my download queue throughout the day, and I have FeedDemon configured to automatically copy the downloaded podcasts to my iPod (although in the past I used this feature to copy downloads to my Creative Nomad as well). I then take my iPod with me the next morning, so that I can listen to the new podcasts after I drop off my kids at school.

Managing Podcasts with AppleScript

Managing Podcasts with AppleScript 03/17/2005 03:39 AM

ANN: FeedStation 1.6 Beta and "My
Podcasts"

ANN: FeedStation 1.6 Beta and "My
Podcasts" 06/24/2005 03:36 PM

Today we announced a new beta version of FeedStation, which until now has strictly been FeedDemon's podcast client. As of today, FeedStation supports NewsGator Online, our free web-based aggregator, and it will soon be supported by NewsGator Outlook Edition.

Using FeedStation 1.6 with NewsGator Online

If you're a NewsGator Online user, you may have noticed this innocent looking folder hanging out under your clippings:

This new "My Podcasts" folder is where you store podcasts you want to listen to. Getting podcasts into this folder is easy - just click the new "Add to Podcasts" icon that appears below any item that contains an enclosu re, like the one shown below:

Starting with the new beta, FeedStation will (optionally) poll your My Podcasts folder for new podcasts and automatically download them to your iPod or Windows Media Player device. Geek that I am, I love the idea that you can add to My Podcasts on one computer and have FeedStation on another computer, copying stuff to your iPod for you.

If you're new to FeedStation - or the whole podcasting thing in general - you'd probably like a little help getting started. The first thing you'll need is a set of feeds that contain podcast enclosures. If you're logged into NewsGator Online, just click the link below to import an OPML file containing several podcast feeds:

http://www.bradsoft.co m/feeds/opml/Podcasters.opml

The first time you run FeedStation after downloading it, it will ask for your NewsGator Online user name and password and automatically enable the My Podcasts integration for you. However, you'll need to let FeedStation know which media player you want the podcasts copied to - to do this, select Tools > Options, then switch to the Podcasts tab. This page on my site provides the rest of the details.

Using FeedStation 1.6 with FeedDemon

If you're a FeedDemon user, upgrading the bundled copy of FeedStation to the new beta version is easy - just download and install it, and it will replace your existing version. Although you can click "Skip" on the welcome screen to use FeedStation without a NewsGator Online account, you'll obviously need an account if you want to try the My Podcasts integration. As promised in last month's announcement, you'll get a free two-year business standard subscription - but I'm afraid we're still working on making this quick and easy for you (sorry it's taking so long, folks - shouldn't be much longer now). So, for now, you can simply sign up for a free consumer standard plan, then we'll switch you over to the free business plan once it's available.

Giving Due Credit

For almost a decade now I've been used to announcing things that I created by myself, but this time I'm announcing something that involved several of my NewsGator co-workers. So I'd like to acknowledge the late nights of development work by Darryl Dreiling and Doug Furcht, QA work by Katriana Hutchison and Ria Kaur, and oversight by Ed Jukkola that was required to make this happen. Nice job, folks :)

Update: Here's Greg Reinacker's post about the new FeedStation.

First search engine for podcasts set to
launch 04/14/2005 01:11 PM
TVEyes, a real-time broadcast search provider, will debut Podscope later this month, making every word within an Internet podcast searchable. Podscope will crawl the web to look for podcasts.  When it finds one, it will create an index against every word within the content.  Users will be able to search for a term or phrase and the program will generate a list of ranked results, providing the most relevant podcasts as well as links to play or download the content. TVEyes has been indexing both radio and television broadcasts since 1999. Podcasts are essentially downloadable radio programs distributed through RSS that can be put onto a digital media music player or iPod.

Know what you're listening to

Know what you're listening to 12/02/2003 01:23 AM
It's becoming increasingly difficult to know exactly what it is you're listening to on the radio now that DJs almost never announce the names of the songs they're playing (though, there are a few different services that can help, like Shazam, which sadly isn't out here yet, not to mention satellite radio, which usually includes track information). Anyway, if you want to be able to look at your radio and know exactly what it is that's playing, there's a new tabletop radio/CD player from Cambridge SoundWorks called the SoundWorks Radio CD 740 which uses Radio Data Service information to display the song title and artist of whatever it is your listening to on the radio. Almost certainly something that is going to start showing up in more and more radios. Read [Thanks, Kit]...

Look At Me, I'm Not Listening To You

Perhaps here's something the brand new iPod division in Apple can ponder on... invent a headphone / earphone that is aware when the user has it on the ears.
This is so that the iPod / iTunes / RealPlayer / Windows Media Player can automagically sense that the user has removed the headphone from the ears, and can proceed to pause the current tune / audiobook / broadcast for the user.

Oh, So You Are Not Listening?

Oh, So You Are Not Listening? 07/25/2004 01:02 AM
Jas on Snell describes a new feature of the iPod, where the music will automatically pause when you pull out your headphones from the iPod.
The world is now waiting for Apple to invent a new headphone which can detect whether you are listening to your tunes.
Imagine: you are grooving to your iPod, a phone ring, you pull out the headphone from your ears to attend to the phone, and the music automatically pauses. After the phonecall, you put back the headphone, and the music automatically re-start from where you left off. Cool, isn't it?

Listening

Listening 12/06/2003 04:32 PM
I’ve written before about how listening is the most important skill a software developer can have.

One part of listening is the art of listening to feature requests.

Sometimes you get a feature request that describes a problem and proposes a solution that’s right on the mark: all you have to do is implement it. Sometimes you get a feature request that’s just about right, and with a little modification and back-and-forth you end up with the right thing.

And other times you get feature requests that describe a problem but propose a solution that’s not right. So the art here is listening to the problem. Sometimes it’s not always plain, you have to figure it out (often by asking questions of the person who made the request).

For example: think about how Exposé must have come about. Users made requests about ways to find a given window easily when you have a bunch of windows open. I imagine people suggested solutions like a system-wide window menu.

But what Apple did in this case was listen to the problem rather than specific solutions, and they came up with a solution that probably nobody had asked for—but that works wonderfully (and that, as a bonus, delights people who use it).

Not every feature request will be solved so dazzlingly. Most requests are for small problems with simple solutions. But it’s worth keeping Exposé in mind as an example of the art of listening.

Podscope 04/11/2005 10:16 AM
TVEyes, a search provider for broadcast media, has announced Podscope, which they bill as "the first engine to search within a Podcast." TVEyes' Podscope enables the audio indexing of podcast content thus making every word within a podcast searchable. TVEyes crawls the web with Podscope looking for podcasts and creates an index against every word, thereby making the contents searchable. The user can search on a term, generate a list of results ranked by a variety of methods to find the most relevant podcast and click to play or click to download. So speak clearly, podcasters -- Podscope will be available later this month.

Listening to the chatter 02/05/2005 09:31 PM
I'm sitting in building 33 waiting for the Bill Gates keynote to start, listening to the chatter. A guy behind me is asked whether he'll make the investment in VSTO 2005. He's on the fence. "I've been doing a lot of the stuff you see here for years in VB," he says. "And there's no upgrade from VSTO 2003 to VSTO 2005 -- you have to buy it all over again." Stilll, he appreciates the productivity gains as as you climb the VBA -> VSTO 2003 -> VSTO 2005 ladder. He'd like to convince his money people to write the check, but isn't sure they will. And then he makes this interesting point: "With the VB solution, if somebody changed one cell they'd break you," he says. "Now the tool insulates you from those changes." ...

What is the Sound of One Ear Listening?

What is the Sound of One Ear Listening? 12/02/2003 12:36 AM
Paul Gilster writes about the problem of audiences at events with Wi-Fi access: The not-so-silent clacking of keys provides a sensory backdrop much like a white-noise generator. You speak, and a constant barrage of tippity tap tap clack clickety clack echoes in the background. It's not symmetrical: at times, people listen and the typing stops. Other times, one lone typer hammers away--is he or she blogging what you're saying or playing Doom? The sounds rises and falls randomly in different parts of the room. Interestingly, he talks about the second level of communication being a basement meeting, but I think he hasn't seen an O'Reilly conference in action. At Emerging Technology in April, there were always several simultaneous channels: it was more like instant analysis and commentary of a live event. People would blog and post; using IM, including IRC channels; use SubEthaEdit (ne Hydra) for Mac OS X Rendezvous collaborative note taking; use some of the unique services for discussion or note posting.
