Ask an FMS Guru #10: Is it possible to create a podcast using FMS 2?

Ah yes, another fine question that I would like to answer almost right away from getting the email.

The question: Is it possible to create a podcast using FMS 2?

The answer:

Yes and no. You can't do it with anything Adobe has given out or is selling, it can't be done out of the box. Adobe did mention quite some time back they were going to release an application that allowed you to convert FLV to MP3 but unfortunately nothing has been released and no matter how many people ask about it, there is no response. We can probably just assume the idea got kicked to the curb..

So, what is the alternative? Well if you check out a post over on my good friend Stefan's site: http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2006/5/26/flv2mp3, it looks like somebody has found a piece of software that will convert FLV files to MP3. It's windows only though.

I've yet to use it, so can't attest to how good/bad it may be, but supposedly it works :) Perhaps give that a shot if you need?
