Ed Radio
Jun 09, 2004
Well, I harvest his feed (and many others) in Edu_RSS, and I didn't like the idea of merely producing a tape, so I tweaked Edu_RSS to produce a SMIL file, which can be played as a radio station on your computer. It is not without its glitches - James's recording won't play for me, for example. But it works. So I won't say that I've shown it can be done professionally, or even well, but I've shown it can be done: using an RSS harvester to automatically create a niche web radio station.
Any advice, suggestions, examples of actual working SMIL (or other) files would be appreciated. In the meantime, Ed Radio will continue to broadcast new MP3 content daily as long as people create it. So, bloggers, dust off your microphones, record a paper or just your thoughts on the subject, get it listed in a feed harvested by Edu_RSS and be part of some instructional designer's background noise.
