play audio file, stop, start, so 2 people (diff places) can listen,eval

November 11, 2013 4:29 PM

How can I listen to an audio file (and stop and restart) with a colleague far away, so we can hear it simultaneously and evaluate it? Something like Team Viewer with audio? I've been trying Audacity, holding my cordless phone to the speaker for my colleague, but it's very tiring for me and hard for him to hear. I have an iMac, one colleague has an iPad, other a Windows PC.

VNC or similar screen-sharing remote access software should work.

Actually, doesn't TeamViewer have audio support?

Looks like yes?

Response by poster: Thank you to both of you. I will check them out. Looks like TeamViewer is free and join.me is not. I think Team Viewer has new capacities since I used it.

Google hangouts m might also be an option.
