  • It would be extremely helpful to be able to supplement episode descriptions with a tracklist, (or for talk radio style episodes)
    or chapter markers. Included above is the mixcloud.com interface as an example of a gui that I've used and that works fairly well.

  • Even though this wouldn't be supported for syndication with Apple and other platforms, it would be extremely helpful in supporting SEO and driving organic traffic to individual episodes.

  • The inclusion of a gui editor, with the ability to add markers line by line and specify Artist, Title, and Time, would support the basic request. In a perfect scenario, the ability to upload a history export from Serato would be a dream. Serato in particular allows for exporting to txt, csv, and m3u -- although each export provides a different set of data (ie: txt and csv is going to give you extra info such as the deck the track was played on, genre, key, comments, etc. and m3u is going to give the file path for tracks, which wouldnt really be needed for publication. )

  • Sample Serato DJ Pro session exports for informational purposes:
    6-5-22.txt
    6-5-22.csv
    6-5-22.m3u.txt

Motivation

  • My interest is partial to the workflow of a dj and to furnish tracklists for my sets, as it is an extremely common request.

  • Including tracklists in the long description becomes problematic, because for extended sets the text can get quite length and easily exceed the max allowed for syndication. Upgrading from your 2.x to 3.x platform resulted in massive formatting changes resulting in illegible text blocks that have to be regenerated manually.

Legal aspect

  • I am the inventor of this idea or the idea is public domain

  • Many thanks for your work on this project and for consideration of this feature.

Chapter markers will be an upcoming feature as chapters is a Podcasting 2.0 feature. However this will require a number of other prerequisites to be completed first, so don't expect this until we are in the 4.x version series.
