audio

At WSUM, we are currently using a double install of Drupal with the station module.  The first install is installed at our ISP [dreamhost] for public consumption.  The second install is on our in-studio server.  The difference between WSUM's dual install and KPSU's dual install is in the hosting of the archived audio files.  At KPSU, Drewish has set up the archive hosting on the studio machine in anticipation of bandwidth and storage issues with the ISP.  Since Dreamhost offers free hosting for non-profits as well as good storage and transfer limits, WSUM rips the audio with the studio install and then posts the complete file to the ISP for import.  This avoids the need for public access to the studio install and allows us to set a longer retention limit for the local audio archives than the 2 week legal limit.  This setup has led to consideration of additional purpose to the studio install.

The newly released Neighborhood CCK module will take the place of Video CCK, replacing that module and expanding it with Video Neighborhood, Image Neighborhood, and the upcoming Audio Neighborhood.

Drewish has a reverse bounty going to add the ability to use external files with the audio module. This will allow you to have a remote store of MP3 or other audio files, and easily include them in your Drupal site, including in a Flash audio player, using the audio module.

See the Drupal issue tracker for more details: http://drupal.org/node/47998

I want to add audio to program nodes.
Specifically, each program will have one, maybe more presenter jingles. I want to have these listed on the program page.

But I'm having trouble finding a way to embed audio.
There's the mediafield CCK module, but that doesn't come with any players, and it also means I can't reuse the audio content -- for example, a page listing all jingles.

Wheew -

It's been a longish time coming, but last night we launched the Drupal remake of the web site for The Cedar Cultural Center. Made a lot of use of the audio and video modules, and eventually there'll be a lot more.

Whaddya think?

After a complete rewrite and countless sleepless nights, the playlist module (toolkit, module) is now available for 4.7! Needs testing though :)

Features:
1) iTunes podcast/xspf/m3u/pls feeds generated on the fly, with full metadata support
2) album artwork can now be integrated (through URL)
3) xspf flash players for each feed, including popup players for each
4) audio browser, similar to iTunes, used to search audio tags and find the audio to add to playlists
5) upload new audio files to playlists on the fly with an inline uploader
6) listening station: an xspf flash player block that has a dropdown select to listen to different playlists on the site

My interest in this group stems from having friends who want to make money from their art. I thought I would mention that there is a new addition in ecommerce 4.7 called ec_media which bridges the gap between audio and ecommerce.

I need some examples of nice media sites for the Greenpeace UK demo. I already have ourmedia.org - but it would be nice to show a site that did good "photo". Help!
