My institution (a theological seminary) puts out a great deal of audio on our main website, which runs Wordpress. Recently, we decided that we wanted to capture any audio placed on our website and put it in our DSpace instance for preservation reasons. So, I wrote a brief mp3 harvester in Ruby that takes an RSS2 feed, parses it, and checks for new mp3s. If it finds any, it creates a SIP for them, uploads them to DSpace, and imports them using the batch importer. I thought someone else might find this kind of thing useful, so I placed it on the wiki. It works for us, but it's not the most elegant script ever, so please excuse the ugliness of it. Here's a link if anyone is interested.
