If this finally works I'm going to be very grateful. Getting this clickcaster to work has easily been the most time-consuming (8-10 hours, believe it or not) and frustrating experience in Digital Newsroom.
First of all, the voice recorder they have on clickcaster doesn't seem to work very well, and it dropped (that is lost into cyberspace) probably four or five of my attempts to record there.
Apparently also there can be some browser issues. Make sure you use the right one!
Then I tried a voice recording using my iriver mp3 player. Big misktake! I tried uploading my voice recording on both a PC and Mac and couldn't get either one to work. The iriver instruction booklet is about 80 pages and not very clearly presented. Don't go online for help! Ten pages of instructions that don't seem to make things any clearer. Three more hours wasted on this particular effort...
Finally I recorded using a video camera, uploaded to Final Cut Pro, exported the audio file to the desktop while converting the audio segment of the video file to an aif file, then finally (after several more attempts) got it to upload to the clickcaster site. (I had to force quit three or four more times - I don't understand what's going on with that site.)
So this is the last step! If this finally works, I'm going to have a beer in celebration later tonight...
