Using the default 3GP settings (just click OK when the custom dialog pops up the first time), I got a movie which plays on both these popular US handsets. On a Mac, simply use the Bluetooth 'send file' feature to send the movie over to the device. Away it goes.   Labels: 3gp, iphone, nokia, ringtone, rip, smartphone
Ringtone Converter Mac
1. Convert any song in your iTunes library into a Ringtone. 2. Send it to your phone with the Bluetooth utility (built into Mac OS X). Probably the biggest news in MoviesForMyPod/PSP/Phone 1.01 is the addition of AAC ringtone conversion. While less popular here in the USA, in Europe, SymbianOS based phones make heavy use of AAC (MPEG-4) audio. Labels: iphone, mac, ringtone, rip

The word ”podcast” is a concatenation of the words iPod and broadcast. The underlying technology used for podcasts, called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is capable of containing any type of media including audio, video, graphics, and more.
Podcasting is a way of publishing podcasts to the web, allowing people to subscribe to a podcast and receive new ”episodes” automatically through an RSS feed. Podcasting consists of publishing XML files which contain references to media (called “enclosures”) to a website. Podcast aggregators (often called “podcatchers”), then read these XML files and download all the linked enclosures.
Unlike terrestrial and Internet radio, podcasts are time-shifted, meaning that listeners have control over when and where they hear their favorite programming. And, the episodes are delivered automatically to a subscriber on iTunes so the latest updates are always readily available with no effort required by the listener.
Podcasts offer iTunes users and iPod owners the same freedom and level of control they are familiar with when listening to their own personal music collections. Labels: iphone, ipod, podcast, podcasting, psp, xml

No Adsense here, Just Sense
I posted my earbud recommendations about two weeks ago. I just noticed that my current Sony's were getting a bit tired, so I bought one pair of each of my recommendations. The joke's on me - Amazon raised the price on the better earbuds just after Christmas. Cost an extra $5. Labels: earbud, iphone, ipod, psp, sony

Best Earbuds for your iPod
 I've personally auditioned (and when I say auditioned, I mean actually used each model for at least a week with my own music listening) a wide range of earbuds including models that cost $300-$500. I have a fairly good background in pro-audio/music engineering, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to good sounding audio. Personally, the standard iPod earbuds don't do it for me. Curiously, the iPod D/A converters which drive the earbuds are actually very high fidelity, so your iPod will sound much better if you would pair it with some good earbuds. In fact, the iPod D/A puts to shame the PowerBook G4 headphone output quality. My personal choice are these SONY earbuds ($26 US). SONY is demonstrating their clear superiority in audio products here, and even the earbuds that cost $20 US are superb. If you want to make sure your iPod is visible to potential thieves, they come in white as well ($27 - 2004.04.29: I just ordered a pair). And, for those of you who like the ear-clip thingie, these ones are white also. If you know someone is getting an iPod for christmas, and you want to put something significant into their stocking, get them these, and they will feel the love. Highly recommended (I'm using them now). Other earbuds I have tried in my quest for favorites: Etymotic - found them prone to clogging with earwax and lacking bass response. High-frequency response is stunning, however. Shure e2c - did not find the sound particularly good, and had a hard time getting them to stay in my ears. Shure e3c - same basic complaints as Shure e2c. Labels: earbuds, headphones, iphone, ipod, psp

Widescreen 16:9 source content
Converting widescreen material for use on the iPod is fairly easy. The easiest method is to simply use the H.264 encoding preset, which applies widescreen automagically. If you want to use MPEG-4, choose custom, and convert with 320x180 as the target frame size. Then, make sure that the iPod Video Settings (/Video/Video Settings/Widescreen) is set to ON. Your movies should then play in Widescreen (letterbox). Labels: 16:9, iphone, ipod, psp, widescreen
'No Sound' Issues
A popular question for technical support is 'my movie has no sound - help!'. If your source movie file is an MPEG-1 file (.mpg file extension), first create a QuickTime movie using MPEGStreamClip (free), and then convert with MoviesForMyPod. Or, try using Podner ($10). If your source movie file is a DivX AVI file, try running the file through DiVX Doctor before processing with MoviesForMyPod. If your file is not one of these formats, please contact technical support. Labels: iphone, ipod, mpeg-1, psp, quicktime, VOB
