TPN Roundtable 03-28-12 iTunes RSS Changes – Royalty Free Music

iTunes has changed up their RSS requirements due to the 3rd generation iPad resolutions. Now, you must have 1200×1200 album art, amongst other requirements added to the iTunes tag. Todd Cochrane talk about these new requirements and how you should update your album artwork ASAP.
If you listen to podcasts or watch video shows, you probably hear the music in the background. You might be watching another show, and that same music shows up. This is most likely royalty free music – something you purchase to use for video content. It can enhance a podcast and bring a wall of sound, so the listeners enjoy your show a little more. Jeffrey Powers talks about some places you can go to get royalty free music, things to watch out for when you purchase a track, and how your can make your own music to use in the background of your own podcasts.

What a week it’s been! Only problem is I have been mentally drained ever since I got back from Portland. SXSW was an awesome experience, and the Ford Mustang drive was better than anyone would have expected.

The road to SXSW is happening, so going to burn out this show as soon as possible, for I have a ton of work to do in the next 72 hours before I board a plane. It’s a beautiful day, so I am hoping to get some outdoor time, too.

Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: SXSW Preview
Going to SXSW
Today, we look at the big show – South by SouthWest, aka SXSW is starting this Friday the 9th, and goes to the 18th. SXSW Interactive, or SXSWi, for the tech crowd, SXSW Film and SXSW Music.
This will be my first SXSW show, and I am pumped to see what is going to happen. I still don’t have a ticket, but I hear there is a lot to do outside SXSW. Nonetheless, I am going to soak up as much SXSW as I can.
Still, I plan for if I was going in there. SXSW has a lot of sessions, but I am hoping to get into the expo hall and talk with a lot of startups. Learn about the new products and gadgets coming out.
Some sessions I hope to get into include Richard Garriot’s Continuing Space Mission, How to Read the World by Baratunde Thurston, Frank Abagnale’s Catch Me if you Can, A Carlin Home Companion with Kelly Carlin, Jeffrey Tambor’s Acting Workshop, Jason Fall’s Social Media Comes of Age without the Help of Porn, Beer and Bots with Dean Kamen and Maywa Denki, and a bunch more sessions.
Some of the parties in the evening include TechKaraoke, Mashable SXSW, FormSpring, GeekyBeach party and more. I am also going to attend my friend Wesley’s company – SnoBall party. Of course, I will be bringing the video camera and trying to get as much footage as possible.

Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: In the Last 3 Weeks…
This last few weeks have been full of news. We saw Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang finally get it and step down. We saw MegaUpload MegaDown. We saw Google Empire get organized with a new privacy policy. We saw a State of the Union that talked about jobs. So what do we talk about?
I say, let’s talk about it all.
First Yahoo – Jerry, this should have happened years ago. MegaUploads – When you go with a questionable company, you get a questionable product. Let’s hope you didn’t put something up there you need and made backups.
Google – It’s nice to have one policy, instead of a series of documents. We’ll have to see if it adversely affects Google.
Finally, the State of the Union. I refer to the line from the movie “Con Air” – Define Irony: A President that says we should penalize a company for taking Jobs overseas, but highlights a company that publicly denounced the workers in the US. If you didn’t notice, the SOTU bumped Apple’s stock up $25 /share.
Coincidence?

Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: Consumer Electronics Show (CES) preview
Every time this year I join Todd Cochrane and Andy McCaskey in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. We put together many hours of video for you to watch, and with the live stream again this year, we expect to have the best CES coverage we can deliver.
We are joined by Netcast Studios, GeoCaching World and the guys at Plughitz. We have 3 sponsors this year.
CES will be the year of the Ultrabook – The thin notebook using Intel’s soon to be released Ivy-bridge processor. If there is a good amount of meat on that bone, I might be picking up one of those machines.
Also, expect mobile to be very big. With Android pushing smart devices to the masses, tons of companies will be showing off interesting product.
CES is sold out in vendor booths, and the Venetian is the new Sands (which held a part of CES). We expect a lot this year, so get ready for an awesome CES!
