DMusic supports Creative Commons and embeds MP3 files DMusic supports Creative Commons and embeds MP3 files. unmediated: "DMusic, the oldest independent digital online music community now supports Creative Commons in their upload process. More importantly though, DMusic is providing the first web-based application to embed Creative Commons license information into ID3 tags of MP3 files. Now, when you upload your MP3 file to DMusic and choose a Creative Commons license, DMusic will put the license into the MP3 file for you. When people download your file, or share it on a file-sharing network, there will always be a way to detect the Creative Commons license." 4:05:56 PM  comment []    trackback []     More evidence of video based networks turning to Flash More evidence of video based networks turning to Flash. unmediated: Streamingmedia.com: Flash Powers Comcast.net's Innovative Video Browser "The interface is a bit funky but the review is glowing. Sounds a lot like what a dot bomb company I was working for a few years back was trying to develop. I would like to see Flash open up a bit more and see some better authoring tools but it does seem as though they got some things right with the video streaming. All in all, pretty interesting, too bad it is the same content that can be found on TV." 12:58:56 PM  comment []    trackback []     Programmers troubled by XML icon I didn't really know that many programmers had issues with using the XML icon.  I can understand partly the view of not wanting to be told what to do, but doing something as a developer to meet best practices for user interoperability, consistency and higher level integration I always thought would be no brainers with the majority of developers.  Scripting News: "In comments on Scoble's site, Firas explains why so many programmers are troubled by the XML icon (and probably a lot of other things about RSS). "They hate being told to use it." I know how that feels, I felt the same way about the Macintosh user interface guidelines, but then gave in. That made users happy, because while programmers hate being told what to do, users love consistency among apps. If you don't believe me, ask a user. (These days apps are websites.)" 11:03:18 AM  comment []    trackback []     AT&T Wireless to Carry Audiovox PPC 410 Is the audiovox PPC 410 a valid platform to start build the audioblogging mobile Radio?

World's First Audioblog By A Presidential Candidate "Aaron Russo today completed the first audioblog by a Presidential candidate in the history of America."   Special thanks goes to Doug Kenline for all his help and effort in making this historical audioblogging event happen. 7:29:36 AM  comment []    trackback []
