A Matt B show and no Andy

Just to note, it's really really easy to make an enhanced version of the show. All someone would need is the approx time in the show that the photo should appear, and which photo.

What applebucks was talking about is making an Enhanced Podcast. It allows chaptering, remembering play position when returning to the episode, and displaying album art for each chapter of the ep.

The main problem is not only is it a bitch in the technical details from a podcast producer's point of view, but it is also a proprietary Apple format, so people not using iTunes or an iPod cannot use them. Which means an MP3 feed still needs to be provided for everyone else.

If anyone has the tools (GarageBand etc) to make M4A/M4B files, make a katg ep and see what us forum members think. Enhanced Podcasts are cool, but unless there's a fandangle file builder out there, it's far to complicated to produce them than it should be.

What program do you use to make M4As?

GarageBand is honestly the easiest IMHO.

Already on it ;)

Problem is both the KATG crew and myself (and whole bunch of others too) are on PCs, not macs, and can't use GarageBand. Audacity cannot export to M4A.

I heard people exporting from Audacity as AIFF/WAV and using iTunes built-in converter to write to M4A. Problem is it doesn't support chaptering this way.

Anyone else know a PC free Enhanced Podcast builder?

The problem is that Apple hasn't released the Chapter Tool for Windows, so as far as I know, all the software that can do the chapters is Mac only.

so basically, it's a bunch of mp3s with their own cover art in the tag put in another container file?
