Podcasting Automator actions

Here's a collection of Automator actions just for your podcasters looking to make things a little easier. Podcasting Automator Actions includes four actions. First is Export Garageband Project, which will export the current GarageBand project to iTunes, resulting in a reference to the new iTunes track. This action requires UI Scripting support be active.

Next is Export to MPEG Audio, which exports MPEG audio files (AAC)
from the AIFF files passed to it from the previous action. Select multiple compression settings to create more than one export file. This action requires a valid QuickTime Pro license. Also included is Create Podcast Feed, which uses the audio files passed to it from the previous action and the information entered in the action view to create create the XML text needed to make an XML RSS podcast feed file.
Follow this action with the New Plain Text File action (see below) to create a new XML file using the feed text.

Finally is New Plain Text File, which writes the text data passed from the previous action to a plain text file (non-Unicode). Plain text files are useful for creating RSS feeds and other HTML or XML-based files for use on the internet.
