Audabble is an mp3 audio player which plays tracks stored on the users computer and also plays audio news from RSS feeds streamed from the website every 15 or 30 minutes. You can choose news stories such as the Top 5 headlines from the BBC, Top 5 stories on Digg.com, Top 5 del.icio.us/popular and many more. Audabble allows you to listen to your audio files but also brings in news that you would miss with other music players. This means you stay up to date with news and don’t have to listen to radio station programming. And, as its all audio based you can get on with other things.
You can also create playlists for your audio and make those lists public. By comparing your lists to other public lists, audabble allows you to discover new music from listeners with similar tastes. Audabble is an mp3 player so its not compatible with audio downloaded through iTunes, but can play any standard mp3 audio downloaded from music stores or backed-up from CD. No files are stored on audabble, only paths to the files. This means the amount of music you can play through Audabble is unlimited, and no uploading is required.
Audabble uses the latest Text-to-speech technology to automatically create the news bulletins. This allows the news to be constantly updated every 15mins. It is FREE and doesn’t need anything more than a username and password to signup.
Simply sign-up on their website (no form-filling necessary), download the Audabble music player (Mac and PC) HERE and start creating your playlists and setting your news preferences.
