I like the service and it was easy to do. I'll be interested if they bring any value to those constituencies. I also set up a couple of family social networks--one more public and based on my unique Irish last name, and another that's private and could be used by my children and their cousins without any concerns by the parents. The only thing I have been disappointed in are the Google ads there--a lot of ads for bikinis and girl-related stuff. Wes (et al.):

In my case I usually publish podcasts at 32 kbps. iTunes songs are usually encoded at 192 kbps. That's the quality difference. You may be able to use some special system that enhances the audio sound of mp3 files, or just use a good audio system, but if the encoded quality of the audio is poor then there isn't much more you can do.

Freyer. I can't find an obvious contact point other than commenting. I am enjoying the podcasts and blog. Very helpful, useful and mentally stimulating content. Is there any way to improve the audio quality of the podcasts. I find this true with many many many podcasts from university classes podcasted to itunes offering. It is a barrier to enjoyment and to access to have such weak audio quality. What are the options to message the message. Can garage band be used to improve the levels and balance. I would love to see improvement in these areas. I would find listening so much more pleasant. tks for all the good stuff. jpp I have tried for the last 20 min or so to figure out how to email mr.
