This software converts MP3 file directories into Podcasts for easier listening and distribution.
If you have a directory of MP3 files that you want to turn into podcasts, then dir2cast could be the perfect solution for you. This software is especially useful for radio shows, as you can simply upload the MP3s to a folder, and utilize dir2cast.php as your podcast's URL.
Installation of dir2cast is straightforward. You will need to edit the dir2cast.ini file to suit your personal preferences. After that, you'll upload both the dir2cast.php and the dir2cast.ini files to your server. You'll also need to add a folder called "getID3," where you will place your downloaded getID3 files.
If you wish to cast multiple folders from the same dir2cast.php, you can customize the settings for each folder individually. First, make two additional copies of the dir2cast.ini file (one for each cast), and adjust their settings accordingly. You will then upload these files to the appropriate folders.
If you want to customize your podcast URLs to be more user-friendly, there's a solution for that as well. For Apache users who have mod_rewrite enabled, you can create "pretty URLs" that will make it much easier for your audience to access your podcasts. You will need to configure apache with a rewrite rule, and your RSS feed URL will be much easier to remember as a result.
It's essential to note that if you use the supplied RewriteRule, your dir2cast.php file must be in the folder above your MP3 folders. If this is not the case, you'll need to set MP3_BASE inside the ini file and modify the rule to fit your specific circumstances.
