In preparation for the next jbocradi, plans are in the works to finalize how the feed will be presented. It's better to make necessary changes sooner than later. One of the ideas is to syndicate jbocradi in both RSS and Atom syndication formats. However, I already plan to offer the feed in both mp3 sound files and standards-compliant open-source Ogg audio files. That alone would mean two different feeds. So if I offer two different file types and also two different syndications, that means for each episode I would have to create four different feed documents. This would get tiresome after a while. And yet I know for a fact that many pieces of blog software will automatically add a new blog entry to a syndication feed file. Surely the equivalent must exist for podcasts. Does anyone know of a program that will take audio files that are on the web and automatically edit RSS and Atom syndication files to include them?

Time permitting I'd implement this myself but there's so much else going on. I'd have a database such as postgres (whatever your flavor) there's nothing stopping you from using plaintext files or SQL lite etc either. And then have a php/python etc driven web interface generate several different feeds. You submit your 2 different files. Write a tile/description. It adds it to the database. so when the user queries a feed they see the new data there. You could add other functionality on top of this depends on your needs.

I'd love to help out in some way like this. But I simply don't have the time.
