See the Plone4ArtistsAudio screencast for a overview of the product's features.

Plone4ArtistsAudio is a Plone product built to expose the p4a.audio framework in a Plone setting. In a nutshell it provides the following features:

File support
Uploaded File objects are scanned for audio mime types and are audio enhanced automatically if a registered mime type is found.
Audio container support
Any folder or smart folder can be media activated which turns it into an audio container which knows how to display an overview for all contained audio.
Embedded media player support
MP3 and Ogg audio files can be played inline within the browser.
Audio metadata support
Audio information is read from and written to MP3 and Ogg audio files.
Podcasting support
Audio containers (activated folders or smart folders) can have ther contents broadcast using RSS with enclosures representing the individual audio files.
External filesystem storage support
By default all audio content is stored directly within the ZODB, but by using the BlobFile product all audio content can be stored automatically outside the ZODB on the filesystem.
Tagging support
All audio content can be tagged by installing the p4a.plonetagging_ component. Please note that tagging can easily be added to your Plone site without Plone4Artists using the ContentTagging_ product.
Rating support
All audio content can be rated by installing the PloneContentRating_ product.
Commenting support
All audio content can be commented by installing the easycommenting_ product. Please note that this commenting is an alternative to Plone's built-in discussion tool.
