I haven’t had much call to do it, but for geotagging mp3 I’d put one or more “geostr” tags in the IDv3 “comment” field of the mp3 file. A more recent concept I’ve seen would be to encode the geostr line (or lines) as a 2D barcode and embed the barcode picture as “Album Art”. (You could also cheat and embed an actual map image, I suppose…)

I see I’ve managed to break this post’s map with the links to the sample files – I’ll fix that later.

I use KID3 or “Easytag” to do this. The goal is that no matter how the listener gets the file, the geographical information will still be embedded in it so they can find out where (and when) the recording refers to just by looking at the “metadata”.

Hi,

I’m interested in geotagging MP3 voice recordings too! Can you let me know how you tagged your recordings?

Cheers,

Ian

Well Catie says: I didn’t know he was recording podcast stuff! Next time I’ll be prepared for his perfidy, recording me while I innocently paddle along…

I happened to mention that I was thinking about sticking the recorder in a plastic bag (to protect it from the water) and then clip the now-external microphone to the brim of the hat I wear when I go paddling, so I could do a more continuous audio tour, and Catie mentioned wanting a microphone too…

We may try it this weekend. Either I’ll rig up a plastic-wrapped mixer and run a microphone from it for each of us, or we can each bring our own recorders and I can sync up the sound tracks from them later…

We didn’t double-roll the kayak – she rented a separate one so we could both learn individually. It was kind of fun…

Well, I enjoyed it! Catie needs to speak up so she can give you a hard time on your “broadcast”. It sounds like you are having a good time. Did you learn to roll the kayak? I think that is hard to do with a double as both people need to be in sync to do it.
