[linux-audio-user] RadIO now has a RSS Podcast feed

I was interested to see if it was possible to turn the simple list of links on the RadIO Wiki page into a podcast feed and sure enough it seems to work reasonably well. I use Akregator and the "Complete Story" link even points to an empty Wiki page where anyone can leave notes or thoughts aout each song... or the author could leave "Song Notes" about how they created the song. Akregator is rumored to handle podcasts directly RSN... and oh yeah, if anyone creates a real voice podcast then that would fit in really nice too, especially if it's about how you created your song... go on, be the first to do it :-) (point being is I'm not sure other podcast hosts accept non-mp3 files) These usage instructions from http://opensrc.org/index.php?page=RadIO To add a link, simply Edit this document and add the URL of any freely redistributable Ogg or MP3 on the web at the top of this list below, then click on [ this link ] to recreate the podcast feed and streaming m3u list for broadband hi-fi streaming. Click on the links below to download the files directly and please remove any links that you feel are not appropriate or no longer work. It can't get any simpler. Sure, it's missing lots of info about the original author and license etc but every extra piece of info or login requirement is another barrier to entry... I can't see how it can be any simpler than this to provide at least one distributed catalog of open source songs. One click to paste a URL, a 2nd click to save the page and a 3rd click to auto generate the RSS/m3u feed. The direct link to the podcast RSS feed is at... http://opensrc.org/radio.rss and the broadband original-fi streaming link is... http://opensrc.org/radio.m3u and of course the actual media can be downloaded directly from the original site by RMB clicking directly on the media links.
