Podcasting Hacks

Jack Herrington — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Book Description
Podcasting does for Internet audio listeners what TiVo does for television viewers--it puts you in charge of when you enjoy a program. Podcasting is a web-based broadcast medium that sends audio content (most commonly in the MP3 format) directly to an iPod or other digital audio player. You subscribe to audio feeds, receive new files automatically, and listen to them at your convenience.

As you can imagine, podcasting is taking the "blogsphere" by storm. A podcast is a professional-quality Internet radio broadcast, and like blogging and HTML before it, this revolutionary new way of publishing to the Internet has become the new outlet for personal expression.

If you've got Internet access and a copy of Podcasting Hacks, you can find out just how easy it is to listen to and create your own Internet audio programs. With Podcasting Hacks, Jack Herrington, a software engineer with 20 years of experience developing applications using a diverse set of languages and tools, delivers the ultimate how-to of podcasting for anyone looking to get the most out of this hot new medium.

Since August 2004 (the month that iPodder.com editor Adam Curry considers the start of podcasting), audio blogging has exploded. Podcasts cover every conceivable topic, including sex, relationships, technology, religion, home brewing, recreational drugs, rock 'n roll, food, entertainment, politics, and much more. There were podcasts from the Democratic National Convention in Fall 2004, and some programs on Air America and NPR are also podcasts.

Podcasting Hacks offers expert tips and tools for blogging out loud--for transmitting (and receiving) audio content worldwide with ease. This groundbreaking volume covers both entry-level and advanced topics perfect for aspiring and experienced podcasters. Herrington shows you how to get started, create quality sound, use the right software, develop a great show, distribute a podcast, and build an audience.

The Macintosh iLife: An Interactive Guide to iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD

Jim Heid — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Amazon.com
A DVD/book combo--what a great idea! Think of The Macintosh iLife: An Interactive Guide to iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD as "iReading." You get a 90-minute movie that allows you to peer over author Jim Heid’s shoulder as he demonstrates all the essentials of the four iApps. In iTunes, he shows how to create playlists, change the info tags for a batch of songs, burn a compilation CD, and more advanced features like choosing equalizer settings for each tune. In iPhoto, he shows how easy it is to organize even the largest collection of family pictures, and even how to make minor touch ups. In iMovie, he shows how to create a home movie that won’t put your friends to sleep by incorporating cross fades, an audio track of both ambient sounds and MP3s from iTunes, still images from iPhoto, and titles. He then shows how to use iDVD to create custom menus and chapter openings.

You can watch the book’s DVD on the computer and hit pause whenever you feel like practicing something for yourself. The book goes into even greater detail on each iApp, for example, covering cross fades in iTunes, working with multiple libraries in iPhoto, and tweaking variations of the Ken Burns effect in iMovie. In bonus chapters and sidebars, Heid goes in depth on related topics like the inner workings of an iPod, tips for taking better digital photos and movies, and how to hook up a TV for improved playback while editing in iMovie.

Anyone working in OS X, even seasoned Mac users, will learn new techniques, timesaving tips, and lots of ideas on how to get the most out of everything the iLife promises. And it may even turn skeptics who thought this was just another advertising gimmick into giddy converts. --Angelynn Grant

Christopher Mitten — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-Clearly admiring the youthful creativity that made Fanning a successful business owner by age 19, the author also emphasizes the teen's single-mindedness: he spent long hours writing code, subsisted on pizza and cereal, and dropped out of college during his freshman year to devote all of his time to his programming project. While the advent of Napster was a revolutionary new use of the Web, enabling Internet users to exchange music MP3 files online, it also led to a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing when the music industry sued Napster for copyright violations. With the post-lawsuit version of Napster now in beta testing and soon to be released to the general public, this is a timely volume if not a visually appealing one. The few, small black-and-white photos do nothing to enhance the text. Nevertheless, this book will appeal to young techies, music fans, and students in search of information on business successes or copyright violation cases.

The Macintosh iLife '04: An Interactive Guide to iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and GarageBand

Jim Heid — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Amazon.com
The Macintosh isn't meant to be a computer, really, but rather an appliance that enables you to have more fun, and enjoy yourself in novel ways (hence iLife, Apple's name for a set of hardware and software technologies primarily for home users). The Macintosh iLife 2004 combines multimedia presentations on a DVD with printed illustrations and text. The combination should enable even the most timid technophobe to assemble a new Macintosh, connect it to the Internet, then hook up a digital camera and an iPod to the system--and use the collection of devices to gather music online, edit video, publish photos on the Web, and create multimedia DVDs. The book, in short, covers everything a young family would want to do with their Mac in order to keep the folks at home up to date on the growth of a grandchild.

The printed portion of this publication (the book) uses many screen shots. There are often three or four on a single page, cropped to call attention to the important parts of each. Callouts--arrows and captions--highlight key controls and other features on each screen shot; they serve as how-to instructions. The DVD can run on a computer or DVD-equipped television, and includes both video lectures and full-motion screen captures. The DVD helpfully makes reference to pages in the book. --David Wall

Topics covered: How to use the iLife series of applications and hardware devices. Coverage touches on iTunes (music, on the Internet and on an iPod), iPhoto (editing, sorting, and publishing photos from a digital camera), iMovie (editing video), iDVD (burning multimedia DVDs), and GarageBand (creating music).

Book Description

The first and best book about iLife is better than ever! The Macintosh iLife '04 is a revised and expanded version of Jim Heid's bestselling book/DVD on Apple's personal digital media studio.

The new book is updated to cover the latest iLife '04 applications,including complete coverage of GarageBand, the iTunes Music Store (including iTunes 4.5), and the latest iPod models. Its innovative, full-color design puts everything you need to know about iLife and digital media at your fingertips -- each two-page spread is a self-contained tutorial or set of tips on a specific subject, all written in the friendly, crystal-clear style that has made Jim Heidone of the most admired writers and instructors in the Mac community.

The companion DVD-Video disc is all new, and contains two hours of videoinstruction on all five iLife applications -- watch over Jim Heid's shoulder as he creates iLife projects ranging from slideshows to music videos to original GarageBand compositions. The DVD also includes software, GarageBand loops, and more. Inspiration guaranteed!

iPod Madness

Warn Your Children!

The book you are about to read may startle you. It would not have been possible, otherwise, to sufficiently emphasize the frightful toll of the new menace that is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly increasing numbers. In depicting its soul-destroying effects, no attempt has been made to equivocate.

The scenes and incidents depicted in this book are all based on actual research into the results of this menace. If their stark reality will make you think, will make you aware that something must be done to wipe out this ghastly menace, then the book will not have failed in its purpose.

Because the dreaded iPod may be reaching forth next for your son or daughter...or even you!

A disturbing scene has been witnessed across America in recent years and is spreading throughout the world at an alarming pace. People who look normal from the outside--young and old, rich and poor--have joined a new cult. They may be your neighbors, your doctor, your children's teachers, your stockbroker, your local mechanic or mailman, or even one of your children, but they are really part of a new cult that is slowly and quietly spreading its influence and capturing new members.

This cult sprang from nothing in 2001 to now count more than 6 million members, and its ranks are growing daily. There seems to be little the authorities can do to slow its progression, and if the current trend continues, the majority of Americans will be affected in just 12 years.

You can spot the members of this cult by the glassy look in their eyes and the distinctive white wires that run from their pockets to their ears. Few people realize what these wires are for, but you see them on people everywhere: on campus; in buses, trains, and airplanes; even on people walking down the street. These odd people all exhibit strange, rhythmic body movements as they walk; some have been observed moving in similar ways when seated as well.

"They're everywhere," said Rob Griffiths, a webmaster from Portland, Oregon. "I counted at least ten people with those white wires the last time I took a plane trip. Even the guy sitting next to me had them!"Is this an invasion by creatures from another planet? How have these people been taken over by these strange white wires? What purpose do they serve? This book is the fruit of three years of research. From Maine to California, from the United States to France, I have investigated this odd new cult: the cult of the iPod.

Why do so many people wear these strange white wires, and what do these wires do to their brains? What are the tiny white devices, with cryptic symbols on their faces and a screen that displays text that looks like gibberish? In an attempt to answer these questions and many more, I went undercover, interviewed dozens of members of this cult, and even donned the accoutrements of one myself, all to provide you with this unparalleled expose of truth.This book contains five parts.

Part I: After a great deal of research and investigation, doors were opened to me, and I was able to examine the iTunes program, which is said to be the gateway for members of this cult to pass information onto their tiny electronic devices called iPods. I explain how it works, how cult members use it to manage "playlists," and how it serves as a conduit for the iPod itself.

Part II: After obtaining several iPods, at great risk and peril, I have plumbed their depths and attempted to understand how they function. I present to you, dear reader, the most harrowing details, the most surprising information about this tiny device. You will discover what the secret controls operate, how to decipher the text on their screens, and how to use them for their nefarious, mind-numbing effects.

Part III: Many people are worried about the influence of this cult, and none more so than musicians, who see it as a way to take total control of their music. I interviewed many representatives of this trade in search of their feelings on this new cult. While some cult members say they are "infatuated" or "obsessed," the musicians I spoke with shrink in horror at the potential ramifications of this device.

Part IV: In spite of warnings by authorities and public health officials, computer programmers around the world have created tools to further the influence of this cult and allow its members to manipulate information in ways unimagined when the cult first appeared. I scoured the lower depths of the Internet in search of the most powerful programs that cult members use, and present, here, an unabashed discussion of what these programs can do.

Part V: Perhaps the most worrying element of this phenomenon is the many vendors of trinkets and baubles designed for members of this cult so they can protect their iPods and use them for other evil tasks. To write this final section, I traveled across the seven seas to find out which of these products were the most popular and why members of the iPod cult would want to use them.

You will surely understand, dear reader, that I put my life in peril to investigate this cult. While the incidents presented herein are all factual, I have had to change some of the names to protect the obviously guilty.

This peril is real, dear reader, and it is coming for you. Only through education, such as what this book offers, can this scourge be wiped out. If you are not aware of the forms it takes and the ways it hides, you may be its next victim.

Update This Book!

Apple is likely to update the iPod and iTunes, or even release a new iPod, between the time this book goes to press and the time you purchase this book--or even later. For this reason, I'll be adding content at my blog, Kirkville (www.mcelhearn.com), about new iPods, new features in iTunes, and more. Check my blog regularly to keep up to date on the latest iPod and iTunes information.
