Podcastplayer.org news

I just heard on Paul Figgiani’s excellent The Point Podcast (even though he forgot to put the link in the show notes) about a new bit of podcast creation software. The list of features seems impressive:

# Record segments of your show, whenever you want, in any order you want.
# Import music, sound effects, and spoken-word recordings.
# Rearrange and edit show content for professional results.
# Preview your show on your PC or your portable audio player.
# Publish your show to a website, with full RSS, XML and HTML support.

This seems especially nice, as it matches fairly well with my preferred “non-linear” editing approach, rather than the record-in-real-time route taken by the likes of MixCast Live

My main problem with this is the general lack of information on the web site. I can’t tell if it can do things like ID3 tag manipulation and volume normalization across a whole podcast in one hit, both of which are vital features for a non-linear audio editor such as this. It’s also described as not just Windows-only, but WindowsXP-only, which means that my relatively old Windows 2000 system is no use.
