All iOS devices like iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPod, Apple TV are using iTunes to manage the digital music and video files. That’s to say, if you want to watch movies or listen to music on your Apple devices, you have to sync videos and audios to your iTunes library firstly. However, what should be mentioned is iTunes only recognize video files in MP4, MOV, M4V formats, which means if you want to enjoy Blu-ray movies on any Apple device you have to firstly rip Blu-ray to iTunes videos then import Blu-ray to iTunes for freely playback. Some of you may have not figured out a proper way to convert Blu-ray to iTunes on Mac, but this article will show you the right solution.

Interactive Language Learning: iPod, iTunes, ANGEL Joe Fahs
The iPod was designed as a portable music player for entertainment, but has evolved into an effective educational tool. iPods equipped with snap-in recorders enable learners to record lectures, maintain audio diaries, conduct live interviews, and practice speaking skills. Such audio recordings combined with Podcasts, audiobooks, and music are especially suitable for the teaching and learning of languages. This session demonstrates how to engage students in interactive language learning using these audio technologies and the ANGEL learning management system (concepts also apply to other systems such as WebCT and Blackboard). Included in the presentation are methods to organize MP3 audio files for transfer and linking between iPods, iTunes and ANGEL courses, although a MP3 player is not required.

Sound
Sound Technologies are available for classroom and training use via Windows, Apple, Microsoft Office, software, the WWW, Internet applications, APPs, etc. and can be created in many ways. This important multimedia component often brings new life and excitement into learning and is often neglected. Remember that research shows that the more senses stimulated, the greater the retention. Special Needs students benefit in many ways, as well.
FILE FORMATS
WAV or waveform
.wav
A file extension developed by IBM and Microsoft for a standard Microsoft audio file.
It is supported by all computers running Windows and by all the most popular web browsers. The WAVE format is one of the most popular sound formats on the Internet for music or speech.
Audio Interchange File Format
.aif or .aiff
A file most commonly used in Macintosh Operating System
Musical Instrument Digital Interface
.midi
A digitally synthesized sound file format for sending music between electronic music devices like synthesizers and PC sound cards. This interface was created in 1982 by the music industry; it is very flexible, ranging from very simple to real professional music making.
MIDI files are supported by all the most popular Internet browsers, software systems, and platforms. The downside of MIDI is that it cannot record sounds (only notes), or to put it another way, it cannot store songs, only tunes.
MIDI files do not contain sampled sound but a set of digital musical instructions (musical notes) that can be interpreted by your PC's sound card. The upside of the MIDI format is that since it contains only instructions (notes), MIDI files can be extremely small.

Real Audio Media
.rm or .ram
These are two file extensions used for Real Audio players. The RealAudio format was developed for the Internet by Real Media. The format also supports video.
MP3
.mp3
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio storage, for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio players.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

This morning Liz Lawley, Director of the Lab for Social Computing RIT talked this morning about moving technology off the computer screen to interactive tangible and social devices that are “light on the brain”. iPods, iPhones, and other touch-controlled multipurpose players are examples of such devices and not surprisingly they are popular among all generations. This presentation defines audiobooks and chapter podcasts and demonstrates how these unique resources can enrich online and mobile learning.
MP3 audio podcasts are the most prevalent format, although there is an increasing number of video podcasts. An aggregator such as iTunes or Google Reader is required to subscribe to podcasts, which are automatically downloaded to your computer as soon as they are published (and when your PC is turned on and connected to the Internet).
We will look at two ways of enhancing podcasts: audiobooks with or without full-text and chapter podcasts that include images timed with audio, chapter markers, and built-in links to web sites. To the left is a a chapter podcast (AKA enhanced podcast). Clicking on a chapter marker jumps to that location in the podcast and displays the associated image. To the right is an example of an iPod touch displaying text while the associated audio plays. These special podcasts offer promising online, assisted, and mobile learning alternatives that traditional audio podcasts do not easily provide. Please note that this presentation does not cover full motion video podcasts.
Audiobooks are a collection of spoken-text file in human recordable or computer synthesized format. The format is usually MP3 or AAC (Advanced Audio Encoding) format and can optionally contain a graphics cover, which is usually a JPEG image. In this slide you see a collection of audiobooks displayed with iTunes version 8 grid view. AAC: http://tinyurl.com/99hm4.
Audiobooks enhanced with iTunes 8 provide important advantages for readers and listeners. Audiobooks can be organized into a series of lectures, chapters in a book, or related collection of stories. Remembered playback positions allow listeners to return to where they left off in one or more chapters. The speed can be set to slower, normal, or faster when audiobooks are played on iPods or iPhones. Full text added to audiobooks enriches the learning experience by interacting the senses.
There are a number of free online resources that provide books in text-only, audio-only, and text-audio combination format. Audio CD’s can be imported into iTunes as a series of MP3 files. iTunes 8 provides tools to easily combine, sort, and identify any related collections into audiobooks, including a series of recorded lectures. Audiobooks can be delivered as podcasts or downloaded as a Zip archive from web sites. Be aware of the copyright implications when distributing audiobooks, especially those purchased commercially.
iTunes includes a AAC Encoder Spoken Podcast setting: 32kbps bit rate (mono) and 22.050 kHz sampling rate. The results are lower quality than the recommended settings in this slide, which includes higher bit and sampling rates.
After initializing the audio import settings, convert the audio files into MP3 format and add metadata to consistently label your audiobook collections. Common fields such as Album and Album Artist can be changed all at once.
New in iTunes 8 are special settings to convert multiple MP3 audio tracks into Audiobooks media type. Settings such as Remember position allow returning to the last position played for each chapter and to skip during music shuffling. By changing all selected tracks to the same Album name and adding artwork, the result is a bundled Audiobook with a book cover. DEMO Heart of Darkness > Import > Tags > Artwork > All at Once > Options.
Text to Speech recordings converted to iTunes and mobile devices such as iPods provide multipurpose solutions that are practical, educational, and assistive. Convert news articles on the web and listen to them while exercising or driving. For assistive learners text can be read and listened to at the same time or listened to during long commutes. The Macintosh application iSpeak It used with Leopard’s high quality voice Alex automatically records and transfers text into iTunes. Online apps such as Spokentext are useful for quick access but have limitations.
Although the Info tab’s Comments box is limited to the 256 characters, the Lyrics tab can contain full text for Audiobook chapters. Simply copy and paste the text into the Lyrics pane for each track unless special software such as iSpeak It does it for you automatically. DEMO Text from NYTimes Red Meat article > iSpeak It > Tags > Send to iTunes
1. Click the Music button. 2. Choose Audiobooks 3. Click to open your audiobook such as the Heart of Darkness. 4. Click the Chapter that you want to listen to. 5. Tap the screen to toggle between display text and chapter art. 5. Tap the Index button to display all chapters. 6. Tap to choose another chapter and press the Chapter button to return to the play window. Tip! Select all tracks in the audiobook, check the Track box and leave it blank. This will insert the track name (vs. number) in the Audiobook list. DEMO Using iPod Touch
A chapter podcast displays still images in time with audio and contains chapter markers for each of the images. When played continuously a chapter podcast is like an audio slideshow but offers much more (see list above). Listeners jump to different chapters in the podcast by choosing the associated image from a list and clicking on available hyperlinks in a slide to open the related web page.
Subscribe to chapter podcasts within iTunes for Windows or Mac and then play the audio slides on an iPod Classic, iPod with Video, iPod Touch, or iPhone. Chapter podcasts are saved in .m4a or .m4b format. Although it is possible to create a frame-by-frame video podcast of these images, the file size is much larger and there is significant loss of resolution.
Go to http://delicious/sunycit09/ and click the tag enhancingaudiopodcasts to bring up these web sites. Let’s look at an enhanced podcast from American Public Media’s Weekend America. DEMO APM Weekend America Chapter Podcast
There are a number of tools to create Chapter Podcasts, most of them available for the Macintosh operating system. Profcast is one of the more popular tools in education that allow instructors to create chapter podcasts from PowerPoint or Keynote (Macintosh only) presentations by recording lectures in sync with the slides. The Windows version of Profcast is in beta and should be ready by the end of the summer.
Garageband for Macintosh provides tools to record or import audio in sync with imported images, which works well for a small number of images. However, Garageband is especially useful for editing enhanced podcasts exported from Profcast and adding embedded URL’s.
Chapter podcasts can be published through ANGEL Course Syndication or Blackboard Podcasts, a hosted web site set up for podcasting, or iTunes University. Podcast publication on hosted web sites is somewhat involved so let’s look at ANGEL Podcasts …
If you are familiar with creating folders and uploading files in ANGEL, then creating a course podcast is straightforward. Click the Lessons tab and choose Add Content > Course Syndication Folder. The Course Syndication title is the podcast name and album title for each episode. The file upload title in the Syndication folder is the podcast episode name. Use iTunes to consistently tag (label) and organize your episodes before uploading them to ANGEL.
Students subscribe to ANGEL podcasts by logging on to their course, opening the Podcast (Course Syndication) folder, and clicking the Add to iTunes button. Items last added to ANGEL display at the bottom of the folder list and show up as the most recent iTunes episodes. REVIEW The Course Syndication title is the podcast name and album title for each episode. The file upload title in the Syndication folder is the podcast episode name. DEMO Show how to subscribe to an ANGEL course podcast that includes chapter podcasts.
PowerPoint slides converted to video podcasts are a series of continuous frames (roughly 500 per minute) that are highly compressed into mp4 format. The result is lower quality text and images despite the larger file size. Although QuickTime will map chapter markers at the start of each new slide, navigation between slides is not available in iTunes or on portable players. Nevertheless video podcasts provide an interesting alternative that may be preferable depending on how the medium is communicated to listeners.
If you are podcasting a series of episodes through RSS, and want to move them from the Podcast to Audiobook Category, then all the files must first be converted into MP3 files (even they are already in MP3 format). Podcasts can not be directly converted to Audibooks using the Media Kind option.
Settings for AAC Spoken Podcast. Efficient but the quality is not always the best. Instead choose MP3 Encoder, Stereo Bit Rate = 96 kbps, Sample Rate = 44.100 kHz, and Channels = mono.
