Any problems with the embed (some WYSIWYG editors can strip out code automatically, should be fine in HTML view) just drop us a line and we’ll give you a hand.

Also, don’t forget that you could pre-produce the whole podcast and just upload it to ipadio, though I guess that’s no different to other podcasting systems. jd

Well, I was thinking of more along the lines to use the service to record and broadcast live an online radio show as a new alternative to the available methods out on the net.

Using a land line phone or Skype on the computer with a high quality mic (that way battery life wouldn’t be an issue), I was wondering if it was possible, and then integrate it on a blog, therefore having a podcast radio show of sorts using ipadio as the medium delivering the content to your audience.

I think I’m going to test it out on my blog soon and see if it works in that sense.

Have a go on a live demo at http://www.ipadio.com/live – it shows the any phone function.

iPhone app gives more functionality from the phone and better audio quality, but actually through your web account you can also geolocate, add 4 photos, tag, description etc.

And also replace the MP3, so if you really want to you can record and edit locally and just replace your call with the locally produced audio, though that would be a bit of a faff!

Consumers of these services, like myself, are after quality audio and great design and functionality. My own experience as an enthusiastic user and member of the AudioBoo community, is that whilst it’s great to speak to the ether – it’s better still when the community using the service responds and interacts. Truely social.

Lets see if iPadio can get that aspect right. In the social space they’ll be judged on different criteria to their other role on worthy, more NGO focussed projects. I’ve yet to see them show a good understanding of community and truely social media.

What most of us really want is an easy way to get good quality audio, tagged and shared or archived, on the web. All other features are secondary and will do little to differentiate competitors.

Good to see them making the effort though. The healthy competition in this area at the moment is ensuring all platforms – iPhone, Symbian, etc will see all audio apps very shortly – I’ve just been lucky enough to get my hands on an AudioBoo API key and have a Java app which runs on most mobile devices ready to give away with Audio Geek love

Could one call from Skype or other such service from a computer and use a higher quality mic for better quality recordings?

Very interesting stuff, would love to use it once I play around with it!

Recently, they provided me with my own player on my own website, that auto updates when I record a new message…

I would highly recommend ipadio to anyone that is not great at writing blogs etc.. but that can talk all day about their products / services or themselves..

You can also do a interview with another person.. all cool..
