So give it a listen by syncing up one of my feed entries via one of the tools that Phillip mentioned in his article like iPodderX for Mac OS X or iPodder.NET for PC. The audio is thus synthetic sounding – it is very similar to what you would hear from Takeaway – the system that Mike Chambers and Christian Cantrell put together to listen to the blended MXNA feeds.
The mp3’s are synthetically generated directly from the text of each individual entry, they arent even generated until someone requests one – then it is cached and stored.

Ok, so my feeds are a bit different in that I don’t record them manually with my own voice, they are automatically generated by some custom bits of software that I put together to do the task for me. If everything is working properly, now not only can you listen to my blog via the web interface and the Flash based play system I have had in place for some time, but now you should be able to pick them up via the RSS feed and the many “Podcasting” tools that retrieve the enclosures and sync them up with your iPod. So I went ahead and added the proper enclosure tags into my RSS feed and as of this evening I am now Podcasting my entries automatically. After reading the article, I realized that I have had everything in place for quite a while now to also provide Podcasts of all my blog entries. Our friend Phillip Torrone put up a great article about “Podcasting” at Engadget today and it was picked up by Slashdot. Don’t miss out this excellent opportunity to get the lowdown and ask questions about Central from an expert! For more information about the events please visit the events page of the Philadelphia Flash MMUG site. As always we wil have some goodies to hand out/raffle away as well. In addition to Ted’s presentation, I am going to be doing a short demonstration of a new Central application I have been working specifically for the User Group community which I hope to have wrapped up and out the door prior to MAX. So please come on out and show some support and learn about Central 1.5. Ted has put together some pretty great work on his blog which I have been following for a while now, and we are really pleased that Ted has accepted our invitation to come up to Philadelphia to speak to our group. Ted recently contributed a great article to Macromedias DevNet where he dissected some bits of his IconBuilder appplication and how he utilized new features of Central 1.5 to add functionality to his application. Ted will be sharing with us his experiences in developing robust Central 1.5 applications, covering the new features of 1.5, do’s and don’ts and best practices. The meeting will be Wednesday, October 27th at the Art Institute of Philadelphia from 7PM-9PM. I am pleased to announce that Ted Patrick of PowerSDK – author of the great Central application IconBuilder and the brand new XTreeM, will be speaking at the next Philadelphia Flash MMUG meeting.
