Synopsis
mod_audio
is the first of the RSS 1.0 modules
so far that points at something other than a text page. It is
specifically designed for the syndication of MP3
files—its elements matching those of the ID3 tag
standard—but it can be used for any audio format.
It was designed by Brian Aker, who also wrote the
mp3 module for the Apache web server. That Apache
module not only streams MP3s from a server, but also creates RSS
playlists.
If you syndicate audio or point at feeds that syndicate audio, this
is a must. Also, consider using mod_streaming, the
module for streaming.
