dir2cast is a Web-based script to turn a directory of MP3s into a podcast automatically. It will automatically use the ID3 fields from your MP3s for the Author, Title, and similar fields in the podcast feed. ID3v2 is supported. The generated feed is cached and only updated if something in the directory changes. The generated feeds have almost full support for iTunes podcast tags. RSS Description, iTunes Subtitle, and iTunes Summary can be set by dropping text files in the same folder.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release makes <description> into a CDATA section with <br /> newlines, which means that formatted descriptions (such as tracklists) show properly.


Release Notes: A critical bug where adding an MP3 to the folder when there were items already cached would cause the feed to generate with no metadata at all was fixed. dir2cast was made more robust against broken (empty, incomplete) MP3s.


Release Notes: The contents of the <title> tag per item have changed. It no longer includes Artist and Album fields in the title. The old behaviour is still available if you really want; just set LONG_TITLE = true in the .ini file. A new URL parameter ?force=<password> has been added to enable bypassing of the cache.


Release Notes: A minor fix was made to the defaults. Error handling for common first-time setup mistakes was slightly improved.


Release Notes: There are fixes for some minor ID3 bugs. The code path has been optimised for the most common case, in particular eliminating unnecessary ini reading at startup.
