Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

Three Cross-Platform Audio Editing AppsWhen I'm done editing audio using Audacity, I export the audio as a WAV file (so that I have a pristine Master recording) and then convert the WAV to an MP3 file using LAME, the open source and cross-platform program. Since I'm constantly moving between Mac, Windows, and Linux boxes, I'm really liking the cross-platform apps. That way I don't have to constantly re-learn and re-adjust to programs on each platform; I just learn one program that works the same on all three. I just read about another cross-platform application I'm certainly going to be trying out next: Jaikoz. This program has a purpose which I've been seeking a cross-platform solution for: editing MP3 tags. I used to think I wanted all-in-one apps that could perform many functions; my view on this matter is changing. Audacity, for example, can perform all of the above, to some extent: it can edit audio, convert it to MP3, and edit the resulting file's audio tags. Yet Audacity, as all-encompassing a program as it is, performs best as an editor, and that alone. For converting/encoding files, LAME excels; it's much faster at performing this task than Audacity. So I'm hoping Jaikoz will perform its purpose as well as these apps do theirs.
