Did you take a look at my Audio product (http://www.zope.org/Members/bowerymarc)? I looked at your site but don't see any code so I don't see what your approach is. Why don't you put some text files up there with the code, or a wiki or something? My approach was to use a pair of generic tags (e.g. EMBED), which then uses whatever default audio 'viewer' you have set up. Seems to work the best in my tests. I think someone may have made an 'external file' version of Audio, but I wouldn't recommend it (zope is an http server, the protocol isn't designed for streaming) - the only thing that really makes sense is if you have a streaming server and set up a link to it (which I have in my product) in which case your stored audio would probably be a snippet. Right now Audio only decodes id3v1 tags, but I'm hoping to update it in a few weeks (unless someone else wants to do it!) M On Wednesday, December 24, 2003, at 09:25 AM, KJZZ Webmaster wrote:

I just put into production a process for dealing with MP3 audio in Zope which (while it does not read the id3 tag) does support the most common media players in the most common browsers.

If anyone is interested and would like to download the prototype of the code for zope, you can download the .zexp file here:

http://jtsitedesigns.freezope.org/mediafolders/

(They do not allow audio on the freezope servers, nor do they have the ExtFile

product installed, so this is not functional. But it will get you in the ballpark).

I would like to post this on the Zope.org site as a Zope product, or distribute this as a .Zexp file, but I am new to creating products from scratch in Zope and am a bit unsure as to the best way to go. If anyone is interested in helping to develop this, please let me know.

Additionally, if you would like to see how this works on a live site, see:

Any feedback you might have for how this process works with a number of browsers and players is more than welcome.

Thanks,

John T.
