Description

For modules such as mod_mp3 for the Apache server to properly syndicate audio data, additional fields are needed. mod_audio adds those fields that are needed. These fields are based on information supplied by ID3 tags.

The mod_audio RSS 1.0 module augments the RSS core and Dublin Core module's metadata with channel and item-level elements specific to audio data.
