Waretown, New Jersey - GO2STAT today is pleased to announce iTubeList 2.3.2 - YouTube Playlist Finder free for iOS, an update to their entertaining app that allows users to continuously play YouTube videos on their iDevice, as well as keyword search YouTube video playlists.

Videos are streamed live during playback and are not stored on the iDevice. iTubeList is ideal for planning kid-safe YouTube programming or watching videos on nearly any topic of interest. An Internet connection is required for searching playlists or viewing videos.

With more than 150 million videos and growing, YouTube has rapidly made important contributions to culture worldwide. One of the features that makes such an overabundance of video useful is YouTube's playlist feature. A video playlist is a collection of videos assembled into a list by a YouTube viewer. Generally created by enthusiasts of a topic or genre, they usually provide a good representation of informed opinion. And they provide a starting point for more detailed searches, if necessary.

iTubeList provides a powerful keyword search tool with automatic suggestions, which scours all of YouTube's playlists and provides a scrolling list of results with thumbnail images. Where appropriate, the number of individual episodes is included, and the user can scroll through a sub-list with descriptions and thumbnails. With one touch, any playlist is downloaded and saved, and it can be accessed from the app's Home page for viewing at any time.

For parents, concerned about inappropriate content available on YouTube, iTubeList allows them to select and edit playlists for their children's viewing. In addition, parents can have many hours of video pre-planned and ready. Besides its keyword search capabilities, the app also includes an Add Playlist function from which users can select any of the following: Kids Video Collection, YouTube Account, Channel, or Playlist ID. The Kids Video Collection, compiled by GO2STAT, includes dozens of videos in various categories: Cartoons, Disney, Fun Songs, Kid's Learning, and Nursery Rhymes. "iTubeList is a fantastic, safe way for kids to watch their favorite YouTube videos." - The iPhone Mom

Though 30% of YouTube Videos make up 90% of all views, there is an enormous wealth of entertainment, education, news, information, art, and culture available free for anyone with an Internet connection. With iTubeList users have the perfect tool for exploring subjects over time, something many find difficult to do within their ordinary, daily routine of Internet surfing.

Feature Highlights:
* Keyword search of YouTube playlists
* Find, save, and edit playlists for future viewing
* Make sure children are watching only videos that are appropriate

Apple Compressor 4 Tutorial Offers Guide to A/V Publishing on the Mac - Published on 12/28/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toronto based training provider, Infinite Skills today announces a new Apple Compressor 4 Training Course on DVD-ROM. Presenting a full walkthrough of Compressor's exporting and effects functionality, this 44-lesson training series looks at the professional audiovisual workflow tool and its powerful filters and effects. Narrated by Apple Certified Professional Matt Schalk, the extended Compressor training course spans 2.5 hours and includes usable sample files.

Toronto, Canada - Software training company InfiniteSkills Inc has just released a new Apple Compressor 4 Training Course on DVD-ROM and as a direct download from its website. The course features 2.5 hours of narrated instruction on the program's many options, filters and effects as they apply to professional video and audio production workflows, and demonstrates industry standard techniques onscreen. The newest video series follows InfiniteSkills' release of two tutorial video courses for Apple Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 earlier this year.

"Anyone who has spent time on a serious video or audio production knows that it takes more than one tool to get the job done," said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. "To coincide with our successful Final Cut and Motion tutorials, we're pleased to offer another hands-on training course to round out Apple's top video production tools."

The course presents a full walkthrough of Compressor's exporting and effects functionality, starting with its basic monitor window interface and going all the way through distributed processing and server upload capabilities. Apple Certified Professional Matt Schalk looks at customization options such as video filters and geometry adjustments, workflows for lossless and compressed audio, video publishing to H.264 and MPEG standards and more. Each individual lesson features three to ten minutes of realtime onscreen guidance, with narrated tips and usable sample files provided for viewers to follow the training.

In an effort to familiarize users with the program's numerous menus and settings, Matt addresses Compressor tools within context-specific chapters centered on results. After starting with customization, he moves through audio compression standards, then to video, through automation and into advanced advice for networked editing systems, multimedia server options and streaming. The Apple Compressor tutorials end with lessons on interfacing with Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5.

"Because of his background, Matt doesn't just focus on time-saving tips and controls, but he actually encourages the viewer to think as a professional," said Chris Johns, content coordinator for InfiniteSkills. "He shows how you can use a combination of tools to approach production challenges and solve them."

A professional videographer and technology integration consultant, Matt Schalk holds Apple certifications in 14 separate programs and areas of specialization. In addition to assisting companies and organizations develop technical infrastructure and skills, he has worked one-on-one with end users as a Creative for Apple Inc, and most recently authored the 10-hour Apple Motion 5 Tutorial Video course for Infinite Skills.

Pricing and Availability:
The complete Apple Compressor 4 Training Course can now be ordered from the InfiniteSkills website for $49.95 (USD). The course can be purchased as a DVD-ROM or instant download, with distribution options available for customers worldwide.

Odessa, Ukraine - X-Wave Soft today is pleased to announce eXtra Voice Recorder 2.0 for OS X, a major update to their Productivity app that lets users easily record and organize audio files. Easily accessed via the menu bar, the app features: high-quality audio recording, Hot Key control, categorization and search tools for recordings, audio editing, adding comments, recording without pauses, audio markers, continuing previous recordings, emailing audio, meta tag notes, export to MP3 or AAC, and Dropbox compatibility. Ideal for fast and convenient voice recording, eXtra Voice Recorder is a practical, personal audio recorder with outstanding quality and powerful annotation and search features.

Mac OS X includes a rudimentary voice recording function, but eXtra Voice Recorder makes the recording, editing, and organizing processes so logical and convenient that voice recording truly becomes a practical and useful option. The app includes two features that are especially powerful. First, users can adjust the app to stop recording when they stop talking, eliminating long pauses. This VOX (Voice Operated Control) performs flawlessly and its sensitivity is continuously adjustable for recording in noisy environments.

Feature Highlights:
* Organize voice recordings

Second, users can add several layers of text and subtext to help identify recordings, as well as content within recordings. Each recording can be given a Title, and there is a large text field, Description, with enough room for a detailed summary. Titles appear on a scrolling list that can be separated by Categories. Within the recording itself, users can click during or after recording to create a Marker, which brings up a yellow Note field. Titles, Descriptions, and Notes are all keyword searchable, making finding audio clips effortless.

New in version 2.0
* Export to MP3 and AAC
* Integrated ability to send recordings by email
* Easy integration with Dropbox
* Now all information about the recording (markers, notes, comments...) is stored in the meta tags and is available from any other application
* Delete recordings in the trash instead of deleting them permanently
* Added shortcuts

"eXtra Voice Recorder is a combination of a powerful high-quality audio recorder and an easy-to-use audio files manager," stated Denys Yevenko of X-Wave Soft. "This handy tool is always with you, so all you need to start recording is to hit a Hot Key. You can add a detailed description to each recording and mark the most important parts with comments. A built-in search tool will help you quickly find the necessary recording or its fragment, while the Split function will facilitate splitting recordings in your collection."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 or later

With the tens of thousands of storybook apps in the App Store, it's no wonder the Top 50 list is usually filled with familiar favorites like Disney, Dora and Dr. Seuss. But some of the most innovative and unique storybook apps are being created by independent developers, and parents can find these gems in Digital Storytime's "Top 10" lists. These exceptional storybook apps incorporate the senses of touch, sound and sight to engage kids with stories, reading and learning in a whole new way.

Sydney, Australia - With the tens of thousands of storybook apps in the App Store, it's no wonder the Top 50 list is usually filled with familiar favorites like Disney, Dora and Dr. Seuss. But some of the most innovative and unique storybook apps are being created by independent developers, and parents can find these gems in Digital Storytime's "Top 10" lists.

"We created 'Top 10' lists to help parents and teachers find the best storybook apps based on their different needs," says Carisa Kluver of Digital Storytime. Whether parents are looking for the most unique, the best stories for bedtime, the most original, or most interactive, we've put together our lists after reviewing over 400 of the top storybook apps available in the App Store."

"Storybook apps have opened up a whole new world for my son, who is a reluctant reader," said Karen Robertson, mother of two and author who turned her children's book into an app. "When my son picked up the iPad for the first time and chose storybook apps over games, I knew digital books were something special."

"Story Book apps incorporate the senses of sight, sound and touch with reading which brings stories to life in a whole new way," adds Carisa.

"For example, the award winning book app, 'Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island' uses touch in a unique way to drive the story forward, having kids tap treasure chests to reveal adventure stories as they try to discover which chest hides the gold. It's a twist on the choose-your-adventure stories I used to love as a child, and with over 13,000 paths to the treasure, it has a fun game feel as well."

"'A Fine Musician' uses sound in an enchanting way. Kids are showered with onomatopoeic words and the sounds of musical instruments as they journey through the city with a musician who's creating a one-man band."

"'And The Strange & Wonderful World of Ants,' is a truly phenomenal example of an educational book app. It's a beautiful and quirky science app for kids that uses visual interactivity I haven't seen in a book before. And it offers a unique adjustable reading, level making it appealing to wide range of children," she adds.

Some of our most popular "Top 10 Lists" include:

Top 10 Books for Reluctant and Struggling Readers
Top 25 Most Essential iPad Books for Kids
Top 10 iPad Books for Bedtime
Top 10 Most Read Reviews
Top 10 iPad Books with the Best "Extras"

With most kids off school for the holidays, now is the perfect time keep kids reading in a fun and engaging way.
