Comments on: How should the Church use Podcasting? http://ldsmediatalk.com/2006/08/04/how-should-the-church-use-podcasting/ Sharing technology ideas for LDS parents and youth Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:32:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Lyndon Gardner http://ldsmediatalk.com/2006/08/04/how-should-the-church-use-podcasting/#comment-15487 Lyndon Gardner Tue, 03 Jun 2008 02:26:08 +0000 http://www.ldsmediatalk.com/2006/08/04/how-should-the-church-use-podcasting/#comment-15487 As I have looked over some of the comments recorded in the blog, I have been very impressed by the many suggestions. I have on my iPod several podcasts from church sources such as the Ensign, General Conference and the Priesthooc/Relief Society lesson manual. I enjoy listening to each of them very much, especially when I have to work about 26 Sundays a year. On those Sundays, I am thankful for those podcasts. The one thing that I would like to listen to as well would be Music and the Spoken Word. I have noticed that this idea was first recorded on this blog site back in 2006 so I am wondering where this suggestion stands at this time? Is the Church thinking about making a podcast available to download and if so, how soon could we expect to get it?

Even though there is someone doing sign language in the foreground, I get more out of the talks listening rather than reading the text. Especially when I'm busy working on a different project.

It might also be a great missionary opportunity if they are listed in iTunes. I'm sure it would make the "top downloads" list following General Conference weekend.

The newer MP standards will include the \"bookmarkable\" feature in the future. For now, any iTunes or iPod user can take our MP3 files and \"upgrade\" them to AAC files within the application, and then use the bookmarking feature.

It would be nice if the files were set to be "bookmarkable" once they were downloaded. While listening on an ipod, if you come back to a track, it should start playing where it left off instead of from the beginning.

So if I want to read the Book of Mormon at one chapter a day, I could subscribe to today's feed (see the url) to start at the beginning and get a new chapter each day. One other comment: There is a real need to re-index the audio version of the scriptures available at LDS.org. When you download the .mp3 files, their names and metadata are not labeled in a way that makes it easy to listen to them in order (at least when importing them into iTunes).

For some of the more recent presidents I would assumes that many of these talks were recorded and it would be possible to listen to the original talks. For others the talks could be read. The Mormon Wasp already posts the text of the talks online, but I'm not aware of a resource for the audio.

I listen to lots of sescular podcasts and there are a few LDS ones (mentioned above) that I enjoy as well. I too would love to get a weekly podcast of Music and the Spoken Word.
