I've been trying to get a podcasting system set up at Writelarge.com, because I'd like to dust off my podcast and start reading my stories again.
Drupal kind of rocks for Podcasting. The software to upload and include a local or remote file in your RSS feed is pretty much handled all in the background, which is very nice if you're writing to a feed.
But I'd also like my site to show a flash player on the main page with each post, too.The audio module does that quite well (if your file is encoded at the right sample rate). But an audio post isn't as robust as a Blog post. It doesn't cross post to LiveJournal, for example.
And the Audio post doesn't have nearly as nice of taxonomy control as a blog post. Maybe It's a configuration thing, but I can't seem to figure out how to embed the flash player in a blog post. I understand that I can attach a file here, and it'll link to it at the bottom of the post, but I really want more control. And if I want tweak the color of the player, I have to manually edit the php! I don't mind that, but it's not very user friendly. The podcasting plugins in WordPress were better.
If I can figure this out, and also recall how I did it after the fact, I've got my DrupalCampMilwaukee session planned.
