Feed2Podcast Gives Voice To Your Feed
Feed2Podcast converts the text of each individual entry in an RSS feed into a audio file or podcast. It then turns around and produces another RSS 2.0 podcast-enabled newsfeed with each podcast attached so folks wishing to 'hear' your feed (your weblog) can subscribe to that feed and have the audio automatically downloaded to their portable device. The also produce easy code to paste into your weblog to make it easy for folks to listen and subscribe. Way cool!!!
And more than cool, what an easy way to provide a podcast for a news release feed or two (one with just headlines and one feed with full text)...um....
UPDATE: If you want to add more than one on your account, you are then directed to PayPal for a cost of $12.00 US. Interesting...
For a test, here's what what automatically generated from the feed of my The New Jazz Thing - The Tunes playlist weblog:
