Podcasting - TXP or Loudblog or... ?
I’m considering making a podcast – yes sir – but anyway, which solution would be best?
TXP
Can TXP reliably run a podcast? Make it ready for iTunes? Which feeds are needed? Feeds confuse me, I don’t use them for regular blogging, and RSS, ATOM, XML confuse me altogether.
Loudblog
Created by a fellow TXP user, Gerrit, it shares the simplicity and power, it seems.
Something called Loudbot developed by Ektoras allows integration between Loudblog and Mambo/Joomla, Drupal or Wordpress. Since Gerrit is a fellow Textpattern user, I’m wondering why this integration has not been made available for TXP?
Some other solution
Libsyn.com? iPodder? Anything else?
Of course I’d like to keep it as simple as possible, and preferably as much within TXP as possible.
Any input?

Well I think Loudblog was designed with an intention in mind, and that was podcasting, it’s probably the ideal solutiopn until TXP supports more pod casting functions, unless I’m mistaken

If I’m not mistkaen, for creating a podcast feed we need RSS 2.0, which is something currently being worked on.
I’m working on a podcast site and have begun to integrate getID3() with TXP. I’m hoping to finish building a nice interface that will let you easily run a podcast site from TXP. For the feed I still use feedburner.

variaas, does that mean your implementation will suppress the need for official RSS 2.0 support in TXP, or that your implementation will work when RSS 2.0 is supported in TXP?

The plug-in doesn’t build the feed, so if you want to publish to iTunes or anything like that right now you’ll have to use Feedburner. Once TXP supports RSS 2.0 I’ll look into having the feed built by TXP.
The plugin right now is just a backend interface that lets you upload the podcast, attach intros and outros, edit ID3 tags, and create a post. I’m open to other features and suggestions you guys might have.

Ah I see ;o)
I guess you can do some good stuff with GetID3 – so when do you think your plugin is available for betatesting?

Not really. I’m just finishing up the ability to list files, update id3 tag, and creating a post. I’m adding joining files this weekend, and working on creating a better interface. Maybe I’ll throw it out there, and see if others can help me out.
