Ian,
Thanks for the links you provide and your shows are still the best. I thought I would give you an update on One Voice Technologies and theri Media Center Communicator. They have just announced that they will be showcased starting this summer in Disneyworld’s Epcot Center. They will be in the Innovations pavillion. I saw where some of the reviewers wished they could get a demo before buying. I believe that in the near future Media Center Communicator will be in some retailers for sale. Hopefully, before then One Voice can upgrade their current demo on their website. Until then any visitors to Epcot in Florida can see what it is capable of. keep up the great podcasts an updates and I hope that your Formula One experience improves. I am an old time INDY fan. Splitting the CART cars into two groups ruined the experience over here. Thanks again. Jay

Why don’t you put the ‘Show Times’ info in the lyrics in the meta-data so I don’t have to refer to your website i.e. on a protable device

Ohhh I see, this is what Pod Casting is, right. Well actually I had been doing something similar with the BBC online player, allowing listners to ‘listen again’ to previous shows. Anyway regarding the ad skip feature, you wouldn’t realise just how nostalgic they can be. what about a program to supplant the adverts and chop them up to their individual slots. There are a few sites online that have old adverts and i have been copying them from some old VHS tapes from the 70-80’s - priceless!

You know its possible to time the lyrics with the appropriate time frame, it would be good to know 10seconds before what is comming up
