Feature Request:
Could we have a link alias to the most current, direct download, MP3 file?

This would be hugely helpful as we wouldn't need to parse an XML just to scrap out the first link ourselves.

Cheers

Hi Patrick Allen. Thanks for trying PodcastMachine. There is a direct
download link. Look under "files" under each episode.

Best regards

Hi Magnus,
Thanks for your quick reply, but this isn't quite what i was looking for.

As you point out there already exists a series of unique, direct download links to the individual episodes, e.g:
http://podcastmachine.com/podcasts/633/episodes/3075/media_files/9650/download/3/file_128kb.mp3

However what i was (poorly describing!) would be a single, additional link that would be an alias to the latest podcast which may look like:
http://podcastmachine.com/podcasts/633/episodes/latestepisode.mp3

The purpose of which would mean that a instead of either a human manually copy-and-pasting the link from the Podcast Machine CMS or daily parsing of the XML feed just to scrap the first MP3 entry, this "alias" could be a really convenient way of proving a "latest episode" link and also in my case a way of feeding a constant URL to a 3rd party media player (Specifically, this one: http://wpaudioplayer.com/standalone)

Thank you for your consideration.
Patrick
