Firefox Web Page to PodCast

adding files to your player would be to have your browser detect the sound files on any web page and to automatically generate a single Podcast file, which contains links to all those MP3s your browser found. Then you'd only need to import the one file into your Podcast reader and you're good to go.

This hack does just that by integrating various technologies including the Firefox browser, Greasemonkey, tabs, Javascript, MP3, XML, XPath, RSS, DOM, regular expressions, CSS, a local web server and your favorite Podcast media player (e.g. iTunes).

Already know how to use Greasemonkey? Want to hack the hack?

1. Turn on Greasemonkey (you must be using the Firefox browser of course)
2. Load & activate the Greasemonkey script webpagetopodcast.user.js
3. Visit any web page with sound file links.
4. If MP3s are found, the script will display a small yellow box in the upper right corner, which indicates how many MP3 files were found and a link.
5. Click on the link to open a new browser tab which contains your Podcast RSS XML file.
6. Save that file to your local web server (e.g. the ~/Sites directory on Mac OS X)
7. Import the file into your Podcast reader, drag items to your MP3 player, and you're ready to go.
