This site is no longer being updated. Here is Andrew Parker's new blog.

I want a quick, one-click way to take a song from my iTunes and blog about it.  Hopefully, the process will upload the song in a slightly reduced bit-rate, but if it has to upload in full-quality, then I can live with that.

I would hope some of the meta-data would be carried into the post, like song title, artist, album, etc.  A super dreamy feature would be support for the hReview Microformat.

Does anyone know of an iTunes plug-in that does this?  Or perhaps some stand-alone software?  Perhaps a plug-in for some blogging software?

    We can’t help you on putting music into your blog, but we can insure that readers can hear it. Our RSS reader supports music and video as well as standard podcasts. It works on any PC and plugs into Outlook and Outlook Express. http://www.inclue.com

    It comes preloaded with youtube videos and http://www.amiestreet.com music. You can also preload your songs, blogs and music feeds, then give it away.

    best,

    Good question! It seems simple to embed video. Why is there no way to embed and MP3 or some other type of audio file? Maybe you should ask FW how he does his music on his blog - it comes through well even on Bloglines RSS.

    I did ask Fred, and it’s a very labor-intensive process: find the mp3, reencode at a lower bitrate in iTunes, upload it, link to it in the post, then delete the local degraded copy. I want a one-click solution. Someone will solve this problem, I hope.
