    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?

    Had the same trouble, but did some searching around on the Podpress Wiki and found this.

    http://podcasterswiki.com/index.php?title=PodPress_FAQ#Why_does_my_audio_sound_like_Donald_Duck.2Fchipmunks.3F

    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 “chipmunk” effect: the file is played at double speed. To avoid this, encode MP3’s at 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz.

    Hope it helps.

    cheerz
