The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ysabel Legaspi
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going

neternity@gmail.com and i promise to send a wave of 100,901 twitter followers to your doorstep each of whom will have averaged 1 tweet in their existence - this might not get me an invite but surely it will get some notice - must have that something special - my google wave invite special sauce ingredient is twitter juice PS Not to be construed as an offer, not valid in any of the 53 US states, do not try this at home, caution: contents are hot.

I've been too busy to get on FF the last few days....figures something important happening and I missed it! I knew about Google Wave but didn't know there would be a thread to post a request. In any case, better late than never, I'd love an invite at madeliene2007 at gmail.com. :)

How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.
- marziah
I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
i have decided that if i do indeed get an invite, i will decline, forward my gmail account to windows live and put ie back as my default browser and i will bing it

I'll wager that some of the folks on this list have received their invite by now, or no longer want one - I have 16 invitations at this instant. It's probably easier for me if you DM.

I don't get how you can get your iTunes library in such a state: http://polluxapp.com/Screens... Without using this app, my iTunes library has all the necessary metadata, and I didn't make any effort to have it like that.
- Paul Grav
Anything similar on windows, on iTunes or foobar or winamp or anything? I'd like to see a program that has a "search for year info on Wikipedia" option. Actually, why isn't there an app where I can manually correct track info on my iPhone while I'm listening and have the corrections sync back?
- Chuck Kahn
Paul, mainly by downloading music illegally from places like Kazaa (is that even around anymore?) and torrents.
- Akiva Moskovitz

It may be a coincidence, but I sent this link to my husband and when he tried to download the application he had to force quit Safari and it triggered all kinds of virus messages! He said he was not willing to try to duplicate the problem!
- Ginger Campbell, MD
So, don't run this on compilation/greatest hits albums, unless you want the songs retagged to the original albums.
- Demian Johnston
@Chuck Kahn - A cross platform (albeit more complex) tagger is Jaikox - http://www.jthink.net/jaikoz/ I've been using it on the Mac for about a year, much more complicated - and not free... but it works.
- Christopher Aloi
I liked it until it ended up misidentifying a great deal of songs, now I have to take the time to manually edit them back. Or just break out the CDs and rip them all over again. It can't tell the difference between tracks from a live album versus their studio recorded counterparts. It gets an E for effort.
- Bryan K Erickson
It also gets in this state if you were managing music well before iTunes came to PC.

When I used to do stuff in Windows, I used MP3Tag.
- Akiva Moskovitz
This app worked perfect for me. Well done!
- Mike Shulman
Gonna try it now ... [edit] Not bad, but made too many mistakes for me to unleash it on the rest of my library.
- Timothy Griffin
I downloaded it and it did not do anything.
- Kelly J
@Kelly J: You need to highlight some songs in iTunes and then click "Tag selected iTunes tracks".
- 321
Very cool idea, but I have tried it on two albums and it got one song wrong both times. It also hasn't grabbed lyrics on any song I've tried so far, and that was main reason for trying it. All my stuff is tagged properly already. Any apps that just grab the lyrics?
- Justin Luey
...well, it is 'beta' software, or has that label lost all meaning these days?
- .LAG liked that
I think some of the data it uses is a bit suspect. One artist, two versions of the same song but different lengths, and they're classed as being from the same album. What's with the lyrics bit - where do they appear?

What's the best setup for recording landline (not VOIP) telephone interviews for later use / editing in a podcast? Envisioned situation: interviewer uses a Snowball USB mic at a Mac Pro wearing headphones. Remote interviewee just talks on regular phone like a normal human. I imagine it'd require some kind of mixboard + a phone jack??
Alex - thanks, man - but as I said I'd really prefer to stay away from VOIP. As cool as we geeks all think it is, in my experience, the voice quality is unpredictable, unreliable, and low-grade. (Unless one springs for commercial solutions, that is.)
- Anthony Citrano
I can't think of another way without dedicated recording hardware. If you are willing to get some new hardware, they make phones with recording built in.
- Alex Scrivener
@Alex: I know it will require dedicated hardware, that's why I mentioned a mixboard. ;) I'm wondering *which* mixboard... 8-p
- Anthony Citrano
BTW, gotta love FriendFeed - I solicit ideas for a non-VOIP, Mac-compatible, dedicated hardware solution ... I get, in order: a VOIP suggestion; a PC-only suggestion; then a warning that this might require dedicated hardware. ;)
- Anthony Citrano
My telephones each have a headset jack. Unfortunately, none of those are standard, so you'd probably need some sort of adapter that would split the output into audio in and out. I'm curious as to why VOIP is out of the equation, since it's usually higher quality and less aggravation.
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
@Glen - thanks.. re: VOIP, no reasons beyond what I already said, which admittedly reflect only my own experiences... but I've had Vonage service forever and it's pretty bad, and the last time I gave Skype any real chance (about a year ago) it was merely passable.
- Anthony Citrano
Go to RadioShack (or any Electronics store) buy one of the old-school suction-cup phone microphones that sticks onto the back of the phone headset, plug it into your recorder. Voila.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Why not a modified solutions: call your interviewee on a landline and then three way in to a recordable conference call.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I have Vonage at home, but I've started using Skype a lot more. I use Audio Hijack to record Skype calls; the quality is great and it's pretty simple to setup and use.
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
It's pretty weird/interesting that there doesn't seem to be an elegant solution... I mean, radio producers have been doing it flawlessly for almost fifty years...
- Anthony Citrano
If you choose to drop 10k+ on a broadcast level solution, I'm sure there's an elegant one out there =)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@alexscrivener I think Linux ppl do that with Ekiga.
- wyclif
@Tina I doubt it would require $10k, and I haven't seen one suggested here at any price.
- Anthony Citrano
Perhaps because none of us so far have worked in a radio production environment. Why not place a call to your local public radio station to ask what they use?
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@Tina - perhaps I will ring up a radio friend.. but there are radio and other media people reading this right now who are too lazy to sign up for FF and comment. You know who you are! ;)
- Anthony Citrano
Something like gotomeeting.com would work well. Not sure the audio format used, but there is meeting recording capability in the service (we use webex in the enterprise).
