Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

Panic Lays Audion to RestI just received word from Panic that they're retiring their excellent Mac audio software, Audion. The stylish alternative to iTunes and the only Mac audio player able to encode files to the space-saving mp3PRO audio format (especially useful to Live365 Internet radio broadcasters), Audion has been around since the early days of MP3, competing with other retired audio players like Macamp and SoundJam MP (both of which can still be downloaded at software repositories like VersionTracker and installed on classic Macs).
If you're interested in reading more about Audion, Cabel Sasser, a co-founder of Panic, has provided a history of the application, a fascinating account which will probably finds its way into a podcast somewhere. (In fact, maybe I will do that!) I wholeheartedly agree with Jarrett House North who described the story of Audion's rise (and fall) as "exhilarating and heartbreaking and very, very informative". Movie/podcast of the week? So what's next for Panic? Panic develops a variety of applications, including a stable and gorgeous FTP program, Transmit. As for Audion--it's now freely available to the world. So if you're interested in trying an alternative to iTunes but don't want to pay any mula, or you simply want to check out what an mp3PRO file sounds like, download Audion and then enter the serial number Panic has provided so the program won't bust on you after 15 days. Just don't expect much support from the crew at Panic; they've got a ton of paying customers they're still going to be supporting for awhile.
