This month, we discuss how JAWS can help you to manage content on your MP3 player.

Technology author Anna Dresner joins us to discuss taking your music on the go and, in particular, working with Apple® iPods® and iTunes®.

We also feature a demonstration of J-Tunes from T and T Consultancy, which allows JAWS users to buy music from the iTunes store, listen to iTunes Radio, manage their iPods, create playlists and more.

Hello Everyone,

Here is how to podcast using Word Press.

What Is Podcasting?

Podcasting is distributing audio or video content via RSS 2.0, or Atom. Podcast clients such as iTunes, Juice, or CastPodder(linux) allow listeners to subscribe to your RSS/Atom feed and automatically download your content to their portable audio players as it becomes available.

How It Works

1. Create audio or video that you want to share (usually MP3 or MP4)
2. Upload the file to a server
3. Link to the file in a post in your weblog
4. WordPress automatically Includes a link to the file in your RSS/Atom feed
5. Listeners “subscribe” with podcast client application to your RSS/Atom feed and download new files automatically.

WordPress creates all the necessary links for you!

Using WordPress For Podcasting

Podcasting is seamlessly supported as of WordPress 1.5. Just link to an audio file in one of your posts and WordPress will automatically add the necessary enclosure tag to your RSS2 feed to make it useable as a podcast.

Important: Use a complete, absolute URI when linking to the audio file. Otherwise WordPress will not make an enclosure for it.

Wrong: <a href="my-podcast.mp3">My podcast</a>   Right: <a href="http://example.com/my-podcast.mp3">My podcast</a>

That’s it — just link to an audio file and WordPress takes care of everything for you.

Well, there is one more step: You need to make your RSS2 feed available. Be sureto put a link somewhere on your page:

http://example.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2

Or, if you’re using Atom:

http://example.com/wordpress/?feed=atom

As of WordPress 1.5, the RSS 2.0/Atom links are located on the bottom of the page by default.

To make life easier for iTunes users, consider also linking to your podcast feed with the itpc:// protocol rather than http, e.g.:

itpc://domain.org/path/?feed=atom

iTunes users will then be able to subscribe to your feed with a single click.
Notes:

1. As of WordPress 1.5, this only works for posts but not for static pages.
2. Make sure the linked file is accessible when you publish your post. Otherwise, WordPress won’t be able to collect the information it needs from the linked files.
3. If you change a linked file, republish the post so WordPress can update its file size information about the file.
4. To get WordPress to recognize m4a and m4b files as podcasts, you need to make sure that your web server is configured to serve them with the right content-type. Do this by adding the following directives to your Apache configuration file or .htaccess file:

AddType audio/x-m4a .m4a> <AddType audio/x-m4b .m4b

1. Occasionally, you may have to put .xml at the end of the RSS/Atom url, for it to properly work.

Dedicated Podcasts

To create a dedicated podcast feed:

1. Create a category in the Admin > Manage > Categories panel for your audio files and call it something like “podcasts”.
2. Assign every post containing an audio link to your “podcasts” category.
3. If your blog is at example.com, your podcast feed will automatically be available at:

http://example.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2&category_name=podcasts

Add this to your .htaccess file to make a nice rewrite rule that points visitors directly to your podcasts (assumes you’ve categorised your podcasts as ‘podcasts’ as in the example above):

#podcast rewrite RewriteRule ^podcasts/?$ /yourWPsubdirectoryhere/index.php?category_name=podcasts [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^podcasts/feed/(atom|rss2)/?$ /yourWPsubdirectoryhere/index.php?feed=$1&category_name=podcasts [QSA,L]

Now, you can give your podcasts feed as http://example.com/podcasts/feed/rss2 for RSS2 format, or http://example.com/podcasts/feed/atom for Atom format. (If you don’t know the difference between the two, give out the first, as RSS2 is generally a bit better supported).

Archive.org issues

Archive.org can be used to host podcast audio files but archive.org uses re-directs on the file paths it publishes – this confuses WordPress, and consequently, the Podcast publication fails (missing enclosure tag error).

To avoid this error, if you are hosting your audio files on archive.org, you need to add a Custom Field called “enclosure” and paste the full url for the mp3 file in the Value field.

Here is a test podcast.

Saddam Hussein took the stand today for the first time in his war crimes
trial in Baghdad, but his courtroom appearance didn’t last long. The former
Iraqi dictator urged his countrymen to fight American troops and not each
other, prompting the chief judge to chastise him for making political
speeches. As NBC’s Ned Colt reports tonight, things just went downhill from
there.

Among the other stories you won’t want to miss tonight:

BEST MEDICINE: There are plenty of stories about how inadequate health care
is in the U.S. This is not one of those stories. Chief Science & Health
Correspondent Robert Bazell reports on the VA hospital system and its
remarkable transformation. Is it a model that other hospitals can follow?

CHECKING OUT: Today was deadline day for Hurricane Katrina evacuees living
in FEMA-paid hotel rooms in Louisiana and Mississippi. And while many
successfully found a new place to live, others are wondering where they’ll
sleep tonight. NBC’s Ron Mott reports from New Orleans.

We hope you’ll join us for those stories and a first look at the latest
NBC/Wall Street Journal poll with “Meet the Press” moderator and NBC
Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert.
