[PodcastMN] "State-of-the-state" on podcast assembly and "advertising"?

[Mike Wills]

>From what I understand, any system like that right now is for ad insertion
and not for like what you are talking about. It sounds like you want
something like I want. Here are my 4 files, merge them! I would love
something like that as well. New Music Today has the basic Intro, Introduce
Artist, Play Song, Outtro. I will have a decent setup working in Audition
when I get a new mixer. I will have the intro and outtro preset. I just have
to record the bio info and drop in the song and arrange everything. In all
honesty, this method is probably best so you can fine-tune how things get
laid out.

Just for completeness, http://www.kiptronic.com/ also does ad insertion.
