EasyPodcast
March 23rd, 2005I came accross several really cool tools this week and one of them is EasyPodcast. I took it for a spin and really like it. One of the most tedious things about podcasting is the uploading and creating of the podcast feed itself. Now there are many ways to do this. Some of us who are using FeedBurner or Wordpress may not find this such a problem but to me, the fact that I have to upload and still make a blog entry about the podcast is a hassle. I mean, I’m lazy. I want things as easy and as close to one step as possible.
EasyPodcast, will create your feed, generate ID3 tags for your mp3 and upload to your servers. All you really need to do is record, select the mp3 you want to upload, hit create feed, upload and you’re done. I find that awfully cool and at the moment as good as it gets! Now… if it would only record audio and ping! I know, I know I’m asking for a mountain but I’m sure very soon some smart developer will pick up on it real soon.
So, where do you get EasyPodcast? Just head on over to EasyPodcast.com, it’s free to use, (GPL license) and windows only, but folks if you like it as much as I do, drop this guy a donation huh he’s done an awesome job.

Hi Lynnette,
You won’t have to wait very long! I’m developing a web-based
service that will (in its beta phase) allow uploading of MP3
files (video, etc. will follow shortly thereafter) and instant creation and hosting of the underlying RSS feed.
MyRSSCreator already does that but it’s a paid service. Yep,
I coded that puppy, too! And it’s mentioned in the brand-new “Syndicating Web Sites with RSS Feeds for Dummies” book…
The new site will offer a free service to podcasters which does all they need. In its final version, it will allow online recording of audio and video as well as hosting the RSS feed and the podcasts. Also, it will have a Flash player
to stream the podcasts to listeners.
Each member will get their own subdomain - just like the way blogger.com does it. This will present the appearance of having your own podcasting site without a long URL.
For a monthly fee, members will be able to upgrade to more disk space and bandwidth for their podcasting. This will
take a load off their own web servers and won’t require any
software on their own computers.
If you’d like to be on the beta test list, just visit our
(temporary) home page at http://www.podblaze.com
Thanks for listening!

Thanks a lot for this post about my project EasyPodcast!
Only a thing:
“I know I’m asking for a mountain”
Well, Wy don’t asked at me? I have a contact e-mail in the website, and respond to everybody
Audio recording is a “wish” I would like to have in EasyPodcast too, but be patient, perhaps in future versions.
And it’s not a Windows only application. Python source code works in any platform.
Thanks again for yours words.
