Dare Obesanjo is adding audio to RSS Bandit.

Some folks (Michael Meiser and Peter) have been saying that mefeedia does media.  No wonder Mary Hodder likes it so much.

Michael also points out that YouTube has feeds - but they’re just really hard to find.  I agree.

No word from Greg Reinacker yet - but Nick Bradbury did chime in on FeedDemon and Media RSS:

Marc, I agree with you that the big roadblock is that we haven’t standardized on how to embed media into feeds. We also haven’t standardized on the user experience, but perhaps that’s just a sign of healthy competition in the aggregator space.

IMO, Media RSS is the best format, especially since it’s already used in video feeds from Google, YouTube, Yahoo and Microsoft. Flickr also uses Media RSS in their tag feeds.

FeedDemon has supported a subset of Media RSS for quite a while now, and NewsGator’s API recently started supporting it, too. Here’s a screenshot which shows how FeedDemon handles Media RSS in YouTube feeds:

This is in addition to FeedDemon’s podcatching features, which sync enclosures with your iPod or WMP device.

Dave Winer points out that his News River supports audio - as did the original Radio Userland.  I totally remember that.  And Dave also says that NetNewsWire supports audio.

Scott T thinks the issue is that none of the parsers support media.

Joseph Bell says Picassa has media in its feed.

Hubert says “don’t forget biulling and licensing info - as well.

Mihai Parparita points us to Google Reader.

Arnold Brown talks about Streampad.

And Hariold Gilchrist tells us about his Castbrowser.

And finally Shannon Clark always seems to have allot to say.
