WebDAV Woes !!

Audacity is a free audio editor using which we can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more. It supports a range of formats that makes a good choice for basic editing. (The price makes the choice even better ) You can manage sound inputs and recording levels from the main screen, lean on a no-cost development and support community, and grow into a new hobby or profession at only the cost of your personal time. It is fast sound capture, sound enhancement are simply the best. We’ve been using the software for a while without too many problems. We use it to record old cassettes to digital format, record assignments and various tasks. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs to do some basic editing and converting. A problem that users @ HCT reports is that when the tracks are a bit long, audacity crashes frequently. I really like the program. It's a big help if you want to create your own ringtones out of mp3 files (if your phone supports it), but one thing I would like to see is the ability to resample the mp3's. Most phones can only use something less than 192 or 128 k bit rates. Add that feature, and it's a solid 5 for me.

My Podcasting Experience

A podcast is a series of audio or video files which is distributed over the Internet by RSS feeds, to various portable media players. Podcast can be subscribed to and downloaded automatically when new content is added.

It was interesting to create a podcast using audacity and to host it on Podbean.

There is no best way to find Podcast that is of one’s interest. Many of the podcast sites, do have review systems but, not all of them are moderated. Since personal opinion matters most, no matter what the reviews say, you still have to search the database of podcasts and listen to the ones of interest. Trial and error seems to work best. With a full time job sometimes you are hard pressed for time to dig in to all these websites.

The categorization of podcasts in some sites like iTunes are helpful in finding the exemplary ones.

In UAE, VoIP is blocked and there was no way to get hands-on experience to use Gabcast, so missed that.. :(
