Publish audio to WordPress post with iPhone via email (Audio)

Written by on December 7, 2009 · 6 Comments

This is a follow up to my previous post in which I surface a series of questions to consider when publishing audio to your blog or website. 
Publish Audio to Wordpres with iPhone

In this audio post I describe how I am posting audio to WordPress with the following applications:

- VR+ iPhone application to record in MP3 format
- Posterous.com to forward the incoming audio file
- WordPress as the final posting location of my audio file

This results is a post that is both browser and mobile friendly. Time to post from start to finish takes about 2 minutes and is automatically shared via Ping.fm on Twitter and my other social media networks. Have you experimented with audio on your blog? What’s working for you?

    Hello Steiner

    I too have been playing around with this. I use iProrecorder to record and email my audio to my Posterous account and then have it fowarded to my blog.

    The format iProrecorder uses is .wav which does play nice on windows. I use a Mac and have not problem playing that format there as well. How about other mac users?

    The wordpress posting also provides a link to Posterous which plays the audio in a nice little flash player.

    Thanks keep up the good work!

    Michael,

    Thanks for the comment. Sounds like a good approach. I was using Posterous as a conduit at first, but the flash player does show up for mobile users (iPhone in particular).

    For mobile users you also need to include a direct link to the mp3 and I didn't want to have to edit each audio post after I uploaded it.

    My solution is a script that strips the raw MP3 link from AudioBoo and posts both a flash player and the MP3 link automatically. This way desktop and mobile users can listen or download the audio.

    My approach leverages WordPress plugins so you might need to explore some other RSS parsing solution to achieve the same result. RSS2HTML might do the trick.

    Thanks,
    Steinar
