Before Sony brought out its new NW-HD3, it didn&#39;t have a hard-drive-based digital audio player that could play MP3s. This was a shame, because while Apple makes some great MP3 players, it could use some credible competition.

Eleven days ago I wrote a blog post describing a call-in service that I'd like to use to create a podcast with my friend and fellow blogger Robert Scoble. A new service (or one that I just became aware of) comes achingly close to doing what I want. Maybe it goes all the way there, but I've not seen how to do it. First, here's how it works. 1. Call 646-495-9201 x 49763. 2. Talk. 3. Hangup. There will be a new recording here.  http://drop.io/tradesecrets  Looks good!  But there are two problems. 1. The RSS feed doesn't have an enclosure, and even if you were willing to scrape the HTML there's no pointer to an MP3 file. 2. There's no pointer to an MP3 file on the landing page, although there appears to be one if you don't look at the HTML source. Tricky. It was enough to get Mike Arrington at Techcrunch to think it was there. I have a call into Mike to discuss. A caveat, I am also in touch with the folks at BlogTalkRadio. I want this service, and we're close to having it now. drop.io doesn't go quite far enough, they clearly want to drive traffic to their site, and appear unwilling to let the MP3 out into the wild. Interesting stuff!!  Update: I did a podcast with Robert and Patrick Scoble using drop.io. I was able to download the MP3, although it pretty well hidden, and upload it to my S3 account.

SMPlayer is a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters, edl lists, and more.   Most important changes since 0.5.62:   * Added support for pls playlist files.  * Better accuracy on subtitle selection. Fixes problems with mp4 embedded     subtitles. Requires mplayer svn r25158 or above.  * Now the screensaver and powersave on Windows is really turned off, even on    Windows Vista.  * The cache setting is independent for each type of media.  * Added an option which allows to fix the problem of loud volume on startup    (requires a patched mplayer).  * (Windows) The file associations code has been improved. Now it should work    better in Windows Vista as well as other versions of Windows.  * New option Video->Add black borders, which replaces the letterbox options     in Video->Aspect ratio.  * (Windows) Work-around for a mplayer bug: now filenames with characters     outside the local codepage can be opened, by passing to mplayer the short     version of the filename. This can be enabled in Preferences->Advanced.  * Now the H.264 loop filter can be disabled for High Definition videos only    (720p and above).  * Possibility to update the video while dragging the time slider.  * New icons for the default theme.  * SSA/ASS subtitles can also be resized during playback. Requires at least     mplayer r25843.  * Now it's possible to zoom out the video image.  * New Help->About dialog.  * New option Help->FAQ which will show the FAQ.  * Bugfix: the colorkey is passed properly to mplayer.  * Added the Finnish and the Korean translations.

The MPEG4IP project provides an MPEG and IETF standards-based system for encoding, streaming, and playing audio and video.   Hi,   I've released version 1.6 of mpeg4ip.  This will be my last release of mpeg4ip; I am changing jobs and can no longer contribute to this project.  I will be able to answer questions about it in the forums and email list, but will not be able to actively make changes or maintain it.  The plans for what will happen to this project are not yet decided.  Working on this project has been a lot of fun for me, and I have a lot of great memories interacting with the forum regulars.   It is hard to believe that there have been almost 400K downloads of this project.  Thanks,  Bill May
