  • The Behringer PODCAST & RECORDING
    PODCAST & RECORDING QUICK-START GUIDE Welcome to the Behringer PODCAST & RECORDING quick-start guide Thank you for choosing one of our podcast-capable recording products. This top-notch hardware bundle lets you creatively produce professional-sounding podcasts, voice-over sessions, narration, and music projects for online distribution. If you’re a vlogger, you’ll have a superb pack of equipment to dramatically enhance the audio quality of your videos compared to the built-in camera microphone, giving your broadcasts a more professional appeal. Move up to the next step in the evolution of broadcasting and free yourself from the limitations of conventional communication. Podcasting Basics Before you get started, it is important to understand some of the terminology and uses surrounding the emerging field of podcasting. Podcasting is a term derived from the combination of the words “iPod” and “broadcasting,” and is defined as the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music clips, over the Internet. This is accomplished by using one of two syndication techniques that allow users to access media on such portable media devices as smart phones, tablets, MP3 players, and laptop computers. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication formats written in XML that provide either podcast content or summaries that link to content and additional file information. Podcast is a feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for public access. Anyone can subscribe to the feed and download the media files. This allows you to collect programs from a wide range of sources for listening or viewing media content, either online or offline with your computer or an appropriate portable device.

  • Amarok Usability Report
    Heuristic evaluation of amaroK Preliminary study to learn about possible improvements in the user interface Author Chi Shang Cheng Note: the name “AmaroK” is used instead of “amaroK” for grammatical correctness. Abstract After a short heuristic evaluation of Amarok, a total of 41 usability issues were found. Only 8 issues of low severity were found, 11 were marked medium, and the remaining 22 issues considered highly severe. Most of the issues were related to design flaws. The application was not tested for task-oriented usability. Even though the application functioned properly from a technical perspective, attention should be given to a more aesthetic user interface design in the future. 1. Introduction Digital music is very important for many computer users. The KDE desktop has two major applications to fulfill the needs of the digital music enthusiast: JuK1 and AmaroK 2. This short usability report reviews the second most popular music player application for Linux, which is AmaroK3. The purpose of this study was to find possible improvements in the graphical user interface of AmaroK. A specific usability inspection method was chosen for this study: the heuristic evaluation, which will be discussed in detail later on. The application has only been roughly reviewed. Most parts only glanced, other parts weren’t examined at all, such as the icons. This leaves material to be examined in the future. Although a development version was used to conduct the evaluation, there Amarok Wiki and Bugzilla were visited in order to ensure no duplicate work would be carried out. Please note that during the evaluation no users were involved.
