.NET Rocks! now available in bookmarkable iPod format

We've decided to start publishing .NET Rocks! shows in a new format, in addition to WMA, MP3, and low-fi WMA. This all came from Luke Hutteman's suggestion for renaming iTunes .m4a files to .m4b files to get the bookmark feature when listening on an iPod.

We gave it a shot, but we don't have an iPod to test it on. So, again, we're asking that anyone who tries it leave us some feedback so we can fine-tune the process.

Happy iPodding

I use to hear your great .NET rock show on my Sony Ericson k700 cellar phone. It has about 40MB RAM, so I can't get a total show onto it.

I convert them to .mp4 (32kbit/s, mono), cutted into small peaces of half an hour (instead of bookmarks).
So I get the show down to 25 MB.

You can also test by using the same feature in iTunes itself. Play the file in iTunes then switch to another track. Go back to your new audiobook file and play it. It should play from the same place.

Yeah, it works for us in iTunes, but we don't have an iPod to try it on.

It does work, this is what I started to do with the WMA's I downloaded previously. I would let iTunes convert it and then rename it from m4a to m4b.

Our goal is to get as many listeners as humanly possible, so we're committed to accomodating our listeners in any way we can.

In fact, we're going to convert all the old shows to the bookmarkable iPod format as well!
