Comparing No-Edit Cloud Based Audio Recording Options #playingwithmedia

Published by Wesley Fryer in books, podcasting on June 26th, 2011

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We frequently hear people say “a picture is worth a thousand words,” but pictures can be worth far more to us when they can speak through an associated audio recording. Cloud-based audio recording services like AudioBoo.fm, Cinch.fm and iPadio.com offer students and teachers the ability to quickly create AND share “no edit” audio recordings. These sites create unique “channels” of audio content which can be readily accessed and shared. Depending on the site, audio can be posted to these channels using phones (as “phonecasts,”) using a microphone connected to an Internet-connected computer and a web browser, or with free smartphone applications.

As part of my chapter on audio for my forthcoming eBook, “Playing with Media: simple ideas for powerful sharing,” I created the following table to highlight the current differences between AudioBoo, Cinch and iPadio. Note ALL these services are FREE.

I created this graphic using Seashore (a partial Mac port of the open source image editor, The Gimp) and the free version of Skitch.

Do you know of other web services that should be included on this list?

Please consider “liking” the Facebook page I’ve created for my “Playing with Media” eBook to stay up to date. If all continues to go as planned/hoped, I’ll be publishing it next Wednesday in advance of my ISTE 2011 BYOL workshop, “Simple Ideas for Powerful Sharing.”

I have a Droid X and searched the Android Market for Ipadio. There were no results, even though the Ipadio website has a QR code to download the app. Just wanted to let you know, since I know you use iOS devices and may not have access to an Android device.
