In reply to: Podcast issue…RE: Xammpp
Since the Podpress plugin is designed to work on a webserver, not a local file system, it is probably getting confused with the 2.
Try manually entering the physical path to your /uploads/ dir on your HD. Probably something like this:
C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\uploads\
Although Xampp and Xampplite are great tools, they do lack something you’ll find on a ‘real’ server. For example, if you are using permalinks like this:
http://www.mykewlsite.com/mypage/
then the Xampp default install won’t recognize that as a page, it sees it as a path to a folder!
You have to use MODrewrite to modify your apache install. I know that’s not directly relevant to Podpress, but it IS an example of the weakness of Xampp as it realtes to WordPress. Know what I mean, jelly bean?

In reply to: Podcast issue…Had the same trouble, but did some searching around on the Podpress Wiki and found this.
Basically, it says:
Why does my audio sound like Donald Duck/chipmunks?
The Macromedia Flash player has a problem playing files that are encoded at a rate that is not a multiple of 11.025 kHz. This effect is sometimes called the âchipmunkâ effect: the file is played at double speed. To avoid this, encode MP3âs at 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz.
Hope it helps.
