How to record audio online
I want to record the MP3 files online, without any external software. This would be useful for both audio comments and the recording interface.
But: I don't have any idea how to do this. Is Flash MX able to record audio data (I think so) and send it to the server? Does somebody know a Java Applet which is able to record and encode MP3 data? What about Macromedia Shockwave?
Any ideas?

Re: How to record audio online
I’ve done some researching for that, of course.
* Using Flash you’ll have to have access to a Flash Communication Server, which is a rather exotic product. It’s not possible to install this on a php-server. It doesn’t produce MP3, but a special streaming format which can only be played via Flash.
* Using Java, it could be possible, though I did not find a well-programmed applet, which I could use for Loudblog. Anybody interested in writing it?
* Shockwave? Pfuh. That’s quite a good idea. I’ll have a look. I’ve got a little bit experience in writing Lingo ...

Well, if you don't want to use Flash Communicatio Server, or any other server software which will directly store the audio streamed by the client who is recording, you will always have to save the audio to the local disk and then upload it manually. So there isn't really a difference to using a real desktop recording tool.

Re: How to record audio online
Well, you can transfer audio data via HTML-POST. Or use ome FTP-tricks (That’s not recommended for the audio comments, as people would be able to sniff FTP account data ;-)
It’s possible to write a Java- or Shockwave application that does these things. It’s a question of time.
What I surely plan to do is asking Skype, if they can write an API for their new Skype Voice box, so Loudblog would copy Messages from the Voicebox into the system. You could "call" your Loudblog-System via phone.

Re: How to record audio online
I only get error messages when I’m trying to use this "monster" on my Mac. This is the reason I don’t like Java ;-). But I’ll try on my WIN-PC later...

Re: How to record audio online
it's not a problem to engineer a java-based tools for recording podcasts, but like you notice, there are several bug for some operating systems.
maybe a shockwave application with lingo is a solution. i will google for it.

Re: How to record audio online
Here are two phone - Podcasting services.
http://www.audlink.com/
http://www.audblog.com/
I have heard of people wanting to request a skype service.
Here is a solution though I haven't tried it yet

Not tested either using soundforge

@Poidi: Thanks for those links. I’ll check this, especially audlink seems interesting.

Re: How to record audio online
are you still interested in a java-based tool for recording podcasts online? maybe i've got some time the next weeks for those work.
let me know

that would be great! sipgate is also an option, they have a voicebox installed by default, also great for audio comments.
btw, the flash applet doesn't like lower sample rates, 32khz sounds like mikey mouse...

Re: How to record audio online
Is this still a topic?
It would be great to Podcast via Phone.
This ( www.phonecaster.de ) makes your Podcaste available via phone. An you can record new Podcast with it. Perhaps Loudblog could grab this feed (cronjob) and publish it?
