A little more research...:

Plone looks good. There is a Plone4Artists 'product' (add-on) which allows users to drop MP3s/OGG files into a site and have them available for download/podcasting.

That means, it should be possible to create a page that uses a 'script' (page template that calls out to Python code). We already know how to run Csound from Python. From such a script, one can access fields on the page (which could contain orc, sco, command line or filename, etc.). Also from such a script, I _think_ it would be possible to call an mp3 encoder with ID tags and then install the resulting mp3 (or OGG would do) for Plone4Artists and jump to the page featuring the soundfile, with a back-link to the page that created it.

It obviously is possible to stream audio because http://www.kcrw.com/ does it with Plone, but I don't know how they do it exactly.

Is that the kind of thing you are thinking about?

Regards,
Mike
