GCast response

I did say I would contact GCast support and see what they could do about their embedded player and the url link for their files not ending in .mp3 (a requirement for using InnerTOOB)

I asked:
I’m doing some research around Podcasting, GCast and InnerTOOB and trying to synthesise a package for digital storytelling
I think GCast is turning out to be a great package for what I want to do
There are a few questions I would like some help with, if at all possible
1 Is there likely to be any development work on a widget that allows Edublogs.org users to embed your excellent player, as the current script or code doesn’t work?
2 In order to use the InnerTOOB.com annotation facility (which is important for educators), I need to have a link for my uploaded file ending in .mp3 or .flv. I have looked at your links on the uploaded files in my GCast channel, but they are not in this format – I’d love to be able to link this in – any help here would be greatly appreciated – are your uploaded files .mp3s
3 Does an uploaded GCast channel automatically get submitted to iTunes, or do I have to do that independently using Feedburner or similar

This is what they had to say

Thank you for contacting GarageBand Support. Our support team is not familiar with the Edublogs platform, so we are not exactly sure what the problem is. If you can describe in more detail what’s happening we will do our best to help out.
Thank you for contacting GarageBand Support. I sent you an email about edublogs for more information as we are not familiar with it. Unfortunately we don’t have hosting the supply .mp3 links in URLs. All files uploaded are MP3’s but we just don’t have a direct link URL
I have sent lots of info including links etc but will continue to have a dialogue with them
I’ll let you know what happens

Thanks again, Mike, for starting the conversation.
Ditto…I would love to have it up on my classroom blog.
