publishing music with the intent that it be
downloaded to a local audio player is just as much syndication as publishing text with the intent that it be downloaded to a local feed
I agree with you: and the information formatted on hAtom should concern the syndication: title, date released, type of content, author. But any extra information that's specific to the format being syndicated (composer, album, drum player) should be formatted into a format-specific for it. If we were syndicating places to be read by some kind of google earth plugin for exemple, no one would argue that the best way to do it would use a hGeo inside an hAtom, not to expand the hAtom in order to pass Geographical locations. Therefore if I am building a music-player + feed-reader that relies on hAtom we should use a microformat for music. On 4/9/07, Scott Reynen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

So all music downloads are a form of syndication. I'm not suggesting putting audio downloads within a syndicated blog post just to use hAtom; I'm suggesting the audio download itself is syndicated content, so the audio itself can make use of existing hAtom semantics for syndicated content. That this will show up in feed readers is a secondary concern. -- Scott Reynen MakeDataMakeSense.com _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
