more Podcasting ideas
The Wall Street Journal mentions how public radio stations are using podcasts to increase their audiences. I've been a believer for a long time. But this technology is still very young and there's much more to do. Here are some things I want in a podcast player:
- skip
- 30 sec forward/backward
- to next/prev segment
- find
- first/all occurrences of a particular word or phoneme
- particular speaker
- speed
- play back at faster than real time (I generally hear just fine at 1.2x - 1.5x real time) so you can finish a 1hr talk show in 40 min or less.
- don't speed up if music is playing
- mark: some way to mark a segment for later recall, such as linking it to a blog
