AIFF tends to be used more on Mac while WAV tends to be used more on Windows but the format (Audio Interchange File Format) is a standard not Apple proprietary format. It was co-developed by Apple.

Okay, so Stephanie’s “first gen” iPhone didn’t do this on the 1st two recordings she did, but it did show up one time on her third episode. Just 1 time compared to like 8 times on my phone in my last recording.

I just got off the phone with Griffin Tech Support.

They have heard about this issue. They said that from everyone they’ve talked to, simply deleting the software and reinstalling it has cleared this up for them.

This does not sound like a fix to me. Especially since it’s happening on two different iPhones that we have.

However, I’ll play along. I’m deleting the iTalk Application off both our iPhones and off iTunes.

I’ll download it via iTunes this time, instead of via the 3G connection over the iPhone.

I’ll keep you posted!

I’m sorry the iTalk may need a software upgrade. What’s weird, is this: Even though my 1st gen iPhone doesn’t have as good of a microphone as the 3g iPhone, I haven’t had that buzz/glitch noise appear at all. I’ve recorded a few 5+ minute plus test podcasts with mine, and no glitches yet.

I hope they can track down the root cause of the glitches, because this App’s potential is very exciting!
