Finally! NPR Done Right
Filed under Technology + Web
I may be late to the game on this one, but I’m super excited about the NPR media player. I’ve long loved NPR, but my days of being in the car during Morning Edition or All Things Considered are past me (for the moment). NPR has always released the material online a few hours after air, and with RSS feeds, it’s been a snap to at least *read* about the day’s topics.
Listening was an entirely different matter: NPR provided Windows Media and Real Player formats, but Windows would get clunked down in codec hell and Real Player would hang for at least 45 seconds before each clip.
Fortunately, NPR now has a really slick web-based media player, with the critical playlist functionality. I can finally queue up some clips and go about my morning, listening to the news the way it’s meant to be heard.
