Well, here's an idea for you.
I'm not sure if it would work. i.e, I don't know if the podcasting file format
standard supports this but one possibility is to point each item to a playlist
instead of a file.
For adding a new issue, create a form that does the following.
Asks for the track names.
Asks for the issue name.
Asks for the description and the heading text.
gathers the file names into a playlist titled the issue name.
Your therefor only pointing at this one playlist. That's what your already
doing but I've a feeling your doing this by hand. It shouldn't be that
difficult to write up a small function to do this using asp.net but you'll need
to be able to recompile your DLL with the changes or you'll have to create a
new dll and specify this in your .aspx pages.
OK, when your podcast is automatically generating, just get it to point to
these playlist files. I'm not entirely sure if a podcatcher like Itunes will
allow you to do this but I have a feeling it will.
I use playlists for streaming audio and I use the one playlist file for
everything. I just generate it using some asp when the file is requested.
That means that if someone goes to the playlist directly they'll get the last
file that was requested by someone using the website because it's a
non-executable file but that's not a problem because the site is done in such a
way that unlike a podcast people won't be pulling the playlist down on it's
own. they'll be going through the links to listen to the audio post.
Your podcast on the talk around website is a .aspx file so it's easy enough to
have it automatically generated.
Any clearor?
