Using it for interviews for podcasting is also an
almost mandatory requirement but until someone works
out how to record both ends of the conversation at
the same time it's hardly worth the effort. It's the
same issue for doing live jams... or at least would
be all much easier to manage if using AND recording
both sides of the discussion/jam, all at the same
time, was feasible.

Anyone ? Please make some notes here...

I'm happy to do some skype testing if someone is
needed on the other end. Just email me privately.

This could be of interest if anyone is considering
dabbling with skype and not seen this before..
