Be aware that using dropbox to host & distribute a media file is against
their terms of service... &, may result in either your account being
suspended or terminated all together. May want to look in to some media
hosting instead. Libsyn or Blubrry are good places to start. There are costs
involved with using them both. But, they are both built for downloading
media content. Also may consider using archive.org which is a free service.
However, uploading is a real pain & downloading for the end user is a very
slow process. One of those, you get what you pay for... Couple of other paid
options may be sound cloud & audioboom. If I can help further please feel
free to write me off list newsandtraf...@gmail.com

Subject: creating podcast feed, was Finder Podcast Part 1
Dear List,
A while back, I posted a message about creating a podcast feed
automatically using folder actions.
Well, after trying, I could not get it to work.
so I whent back to the drawing board and found a web site that will
generate the feed for you.
All you have to do is register for a free account.
enter the link to your podcast files add titles and descriptions then
download the feed that it will generate.
Now upload the feed to your web site that hosts your podcast and you are
ready.
I have been testing DropBox to host my podcast and so far its going well.
If you have more questions, email me off list.

I've already tried it on my Mac and it works. It does not use lltag, it
uses a perl module called MP3::Info. And it is fairly easy to install
perl modules on a Mac. Give me a day or two to clean it up and I'll
email it to you with installation instructions. I am about as sure as I
can be that it generates valid ITunes rss feeds because I've checked the
xml file versus two different validators. However, I'll admit I didn't
know the first thing about creating podcasts when I started and I've
never submitted a podcast to Apple. But I'd be willing to work with you
to fix any problems if I can.

By all means if it does not involve you in too much effort. I am
starting to submit via Apple Vis but a workable way of posting podcasts
independently would be a very worthwhile project.
If I ever get my head completely around it I will probably do a Podcast
on it!

Would you like me to see if my perl script will port toMac OS? It uses
a open source program called lltag to read the tags in the mp3 file and
then it builds a podcast xml from those tags. I downloaded the mp3 that
Robert Cole just posted and it has most of the appropriate tags. I may
be able to find a tool in Mac OS that works like lltag. There might
even be a Mac version of lltag.

Unfortunately I do not have a Linux setup.
I have tried researching setting up a Podcast feed and it seems that
eater you do it by hand coding which seems a considerable learning
curve
or you have to pay for services or apps which simplify the process. It
is not obvious if these clients are accessible.
I do not mind shelling out for a one off app but would am hesitant
about paying out for an ongoing service.
Does anybody know of accessible Podcast Feed creation clients that are
free or low cost and similar web hosting services that are also free
or
low cost?
I suppose an option would be just to see if Apple Vis would be
interested in hosting the podcasts.

I have a linux script that I can use to create a podcast from a set
of
mp3 files. I can also provide download space. Anyone interested
should
contact me off list.

These audio presentations do sound very useful, but yes, they are
not
podcasts at the moment. A podcast isn't simply putting up an audio
file
for download. A podcast consists of an RSS feed one can subscribe to
in
a podcatcher such as Downcast.
Would be great to see these files turned into a real podcast feed as
I'm
sure they're helpful to people and would then be easier to access.

Your link is broken!
When I read your message about Part 1 of your Finder podcast, I hit
VO-space on the link to your episode and that takes me to Safari
but
the page never fills. I just get an empty HTML page and interaction
is
impossible.
Any way you might use an rss feed with audio enclosures instead of
stupid send space? files expire on sendspace quite soon.
Just my thoughts and observations.
