        <![CDATA[Last night , I had a long Skype chat with Rita Zeinstejer, a teacher I met on the EVO online podcasting course earlier this year. She talked to me about  the CAEB Project, a project she was starting between her English class in Argentina and a Spanish class in the USA. 

To learn more about this ambitious project, look and listen and add comments at&gt;

      <title>Comparing the ease and quality of Creative MP3 recording amd Podmatic's own system! </title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[My prevous recordings were done using Podmatic's web interface, with no editing done. This time, I'm recording simultaneously with the Podmatic interface and, for the first time, with my Creative MP3. Please comment and let me know if you notice any differences in the quality, and if there is a difference, which version is better.
Well, unfortunately, I only managed to include the Podmatic recording here. next I must try to upload the Creative file, which I had to change from .wav to .mp3 format, using Audacity and Lame software.

        <![CDATA[I'm going to try to import Scott's podmail into my podcast now. The volume is very low, but perhaps it will improve on its trip through cyberspace&gt;-(

Below are the instructions that Scott sent to me as a text message. I'm a visual person and it's much easier for me to see them written dow. Thank you, Scott!

	Hi Ruth,

On podOmatic, with the podcast as well as email functions, you have the choice either to make a recording over the internet or to upload one you've made on your mp3 recorder (and stored on your local computer). Recording through podomatic is probably the simpler of the two (though the sound quality is more prone to degradation).

For an email message:
1- select podMail from your account page (http://podomatic.com/podcast)
2- choose compose and enter address, subject and text message as you see fit (any of these steps could follow the recording - this is my process).
3- click the Red record button and wait for the connction to be established (you might have to click "allow" on a pop-up dialog for the flash player - Flash is installed on your system isn't it?)
4- Once the link is established begin talking into your microphone (the signal indicator should move in relation to the audio input - this is the green/yellow/red animated horizontal bar).
5- Press Stop Recording when you've finished your saying what you have to say.
6- Before pressing the send button, you might want to listen back to your recording with the preview button.
7- You can re-record if you are not satisfied with the results

The only difference if you want to import a file you've recorded on your own system is to press import instead of record. You will then need to browse to the actual file on you own system to tell the browser to upload it to podOmatic. You can preview it before sending if you wish.

I've not used the mixOmatic option yet so can't say anything there.

So, sorry for the long message, next we need to let our friend know how to listen to the podOmatic message we've just sent them.

I think it should be intuitive - I just sent you a voice message Ruth, could you listen to it.

Essentially, the person receives a message from podomatic telling them that so and so has sent them an audio recording (similar to those lovely virtual hallmark cards). The person must click a link to be taken to podOmatic and then they get to listen to the message after following a link or two.

It might be useful to send a message to your own address first to see how everything unfolds.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

For a future experiment, I might try sending a message to the whole Yahoo! Group. stay tuned...
