I'll have someone who knows more about this take a look.

The owner of podcast alley personally wrote custom code to bridge between his directory and the Wimpy Player, so I know it can be done - EASILY.

I think it would be wise to REALLY understand what I'm trying to do before making assessments about the difficulty of the project.

What is needed is custom coding to create a 'bridge' (I will hire someone to do that).

What I need to know from your team is if the field with the FEED can be utilized the way the Wimpy player needs to use it, as detailed here: http://www.wimpyplayer.com/Users_Man..._playlist.html

Please do not reference the Wimpy mp3 feature as you did earlier...it does not apply to anything I'm asking.

It may be 'costly', but I fail to see where you have any insight about my budget to know that it is cost 'prohibitive.'

For one client, the cost of PhotoPost might be cost prohibitive, and to another it may be considered cheap.

Moreover, as you have yet to understand what it is I'm asking, I don't really know how you can put a price on it.

If we could stick to the issue of function, rather than 'cost', I'd appreciate it.

This is incorrect. Wimpy is the feed reader (as clearly detailed in the link above)
