I like the 24 hour display. I've been thinking a system like SoundCloud mig=
ht be more useful for nature recordings if it displayed sonograms instead o=
f wave forms. Displaying them vertically might be more useful too, so that =
the comments can all be displayed alongside the relevant section.

If no such system exists, I wonder if Sonic Visualiser output could be mani=
pulated into a scrolling movie file with scrolling comments for upload to Y=
ouTube.

listen to it all afterwards to pick out the bits I want, probably several t=

Definitely listening to long takes can be expensive. I'm working toward a g=

One useful tool is Sonic Visualiser from Queen Mary University. Takes some =
fiddling to figure out the parameters to use, but it can make long-strip JP=
Gs up to the JPG width limit.
