Free MP3 recording via telephone is back
At last - a real Gabcast replacment (at least for the way I used to use Gabcast)
I've just made the above recording on www.ipadio.com and as you see, they provide an embed code (the URL can be taken from the address bar). But - and here's the real bonus for me: by registering with the site and logging in - I was able to download the file I'd recorded as an MP3.
Many thanks to the guys at iPadio - Mark Smith and I have been exchanging emails all week and he has been able (with much burning of the midnight oil) to make this work as we in Education might like it to work.
The way it works, is you register a phone number (that's a change from Gabcast, but for those of us used to Spinvox and Jaiku, that's not a problem) and they send you a code and two telephone numbers. An 0845 number for local calls from a land line and an 020 number which (fingers crossed - just like with Gabcast) can count as part of a phone call bundle on mobiles (020 is a london number).
So there you go - let us know what you think.
