We turn the Macworld Podcast over to you today. During the last podcast we asked listeners to submit audio comments, questions, and Mac tips for the chance to win iPod gear; we received a flood of responses, so here's some of the winning submissions. more

In reply to:

Id prefer the audio file to be in AIFF format, mono at 128 kbps with as little background noise as possible.

Is this possible? AIFF is an uncompressed format and almost always is 1411.2kbps. Did the author mean 128kbps AAC?

Actually, I meant AIFF -- ignore the 128 kbps bit.

Good show here, One addition I would like to request is URLs embedded in the AAC Enhanced Feed. I'm not an expert on this subject but I have seen the URL field in garage band for Podcast creation. Although the show notes are great, I really like to listen to the podcast on itunes and then just simply click on the link (inside the album art) to go to a site for whatever is being discussed at that time. For example as the earbud options were being discussed I would have loved to have a link to see some of those products. I didn't think to go to the show notes untill after the Podcast was over.
I know time is tight and you may not be able to get this done, so it's just a suggestion.
Also I was disapointed to see that I need to create a different user for the playlistmag.com forums. Although I know it would not be good to have one login, login to both sites. I would have liked to have the same account, password, preferences, and sig ect.
