Multimedia content creation on smartphone usually revolves around photos and videos, but what about the humble audio file? Audioboo is a popular audio clip publishing service and has mobile publishing clients for Android and iPhone. However, there is no support for Symbian devices. Never fear though, David Gilson is on the case and, in this how to article, shows us how to publish to Audioboo via Nokia Share Online and Pixelpipe's Audioboo plugin.
Read on in the full article.
I've been a contented Pixelpipe user for some time, and added Audioboo as a 'pipe' as soon as they added support for it a few months back.
However, "boo-ing" from a Symbian-based device raises a side question for me: are there any decent audio-recording applications for Symbian handsets? My venerable N95 can only record at more-or-less phone call quality via the bundled Recorder app, and the one or two third-party S60 audio recorder apps which can capture at typical MP3 quality (e.g. 128Kbps) are expensive (�30-ish).
I'm waiting for the N8, but don't know if its audio recorder app will record at higher quality (something like Audacity for Symbian would be perfect for me).
Can anyone advise?
Recordroid recently popped up in Ovi Store - I've not tried it, but it might be worth a look?

There's a free lite version that has limited time recording on the 'full' for �4 with no such time restrictions.
If you do try would be interested to know how you get on.

Thanks Rafe - I had a feeling I hadn't found all the recording apps out there :tongue: I'll give the Lite version a whirl, and see if it's worth checking out the paid-for edition.

I saw David's original tweet (pictured in the above piece) when it went live and quietly wondered how he did it. I've 'boo'd from my N97 before via mobile web upload.
This Share Online variant *is* good BUT doesn't allow you to attach images or location - which is a shame. Perhaps we could ask Pixelpipe to allow us to upload images + audio in one post?
