PodRecast

PodRecast is a podcast aggregator for downloading, post-processing then re-publishing podcasts.

Here’s my problem:

• I hate it when one podcast is loud, then the next is too quiet, then the next is way too loud.
• In the EU, there are rules governing the maximum output which consumer devices, such as smart phones, can generate through headphones. In a noisy environment (for me, that’s when cycling) the mandated volume can be too low, particularly for spoken podcasts.

Both of these problems can be addressed by downloading podcasts to a server, post processing the files there (possibly with mp3gain), then republishing them on a local network.

That’s what PodRecast does.

Install

Probably one of these:

sudo python ./setup.py install

python ./setup.py install –prefix=$HOME/local

But, there’s more to it than this. Please do read the project web page first.
