New Video Tutorial for iPod on ACC Mixes

iPod_tut_perspective2

As promised here is the second video tutorial on how to use our new ACC format mixes with your iPod. This one is shorter and pretty straight forward. Like I showed you in the first video tutorial for iTunes you can skip the tracks, see what's playing and all that jazz. You've probably figured all this out already but in case you haven't here it is.

New Video Tutorial for ACC mixes

As of EP-014 of WCC Radio all the shows and future mixes will be in the ACC (.m4a) format. I am super excited about this because this format is miles ahead of the tired MP3. You are probably already familiar with this format since it's what you get when you buy music from the iTunes store. Basically this format will work with your favorite media player on your computer or any of the popular portable players that people use (iPod, Zune, etc). There are many advantages to the ACC format such as higher quality encoding but the coolest feature is that I can now index the mixes. This means that you can jump from track to track and see what's playing at the moment just like with a CD player with out affecting or hearing gaps in the continuous mix. There are other nifty features to this format and it's all outlined in this little video tutorial I created that explains everything. I will be doing another tutorial on how this works with your iPod. I hope you enjoy it and that you learn something new. The ACC format should work just like the old MP3 format but for what ever reason if it doesn't for you please let me know through the contact page and I will send you a link to an MP3 version. I will do this temporarily for the next few mixes as we go through this transition but eventually I won't offer that format anymore.
