TANGENITAL!

Tangential was the word. Tangenital is what you get from hanging out on nude beaches.

How big is the "tangential" picture we are looking for? Is it the size of a banner ad? The size of plain text? smaller?

To have seperate images, just split your recorded mp3 and have a seperate image for each mp3. zip em together for download. I have an iriver H340 so no pic+audio at the same time support yet (got hopes on some firmware).

For some reason this podcast13 mp3 sounds like chipmunks (ie too fast) when played on my palm.

- Other Engadget podcasts play fine
- I take the SD card from my palm and play it directly from the card to my PC and it sounds fine.
- I've tried playing it with both Realone and MMplayer on my palm, same chipmunk effect

What was the digger product you mentioned on the podcast... it sounded like blog digger or web digger? This was the app that managed to find a tour of your house.

Thanks!

I have the same problem on my Dell DJ. I loaded it up minutes before I went away for the weekend hoping to listen to it while i was away, but found it played slow. Even the time display on the DJ played slow (one second took about 1.5 seconds)
This is the first Podcast I've tried on my DJ. Plays fine on the 'puter.

Love the idea of embedding this information in the mp3 (blogged about Scoble's blog of it here: http://podcastreviews.net/archives/other/robert_scoble_text_links_for_podcasts.html).

However, when actually trying to view them; I found that Windows Media Player doesn't display those images. I wonder if that's a flaw in WMP or a side-effect of the way you inserted them?

Good discussion of photo embedding - it almost a type of meta information on the podcasts.

Any ideas on embedding meta info for usability? Specifically, it would be nice if you could somehow jump to specific topics within a podcast.....
