I am not sure if that was entirely correct terminology. What I am looking to collect are names, links, sources etc of applications that will let you record your voice to MP3 format, connect to your blog tool (Worpress support preferred), create a post with an enclosure (WordPress would just require a link, enclosures created automatically), post it via XMLRPC and upload the MP3 via FTP.

Considering the problems I have had with GeoURL recently, I am quite glad this is out of the WordPress 1.5 core (last I remember from the CVS logs).
