Looking for an Audio CMS
So I have this site, Phonophilia, which is all about field recordings and other sound. I want to keep adding to it and I want a better way to do that and manage what's there. So I've been looking for days for some kind of content-management system for audio. I basically want something that can look at a directory full of sound files and make a nice looking little index page, reading the ID3 tags of each mp3 file to get details... stuff like that.
I don't want just a podcasting tool, if I wanted just that I would just use LoudBlog, which seems pretty cool for that limited need. Though something that generates RSS for each page would be nice. the thing with podcasts and blogs is it's all about the NOW, the latest, not about managing content that's both old and new.
So, dear reader, do you know of anything like this? (I was spurred to asking you from reading José's blog where he just asked a couple real questions of his readers. And I had answers!)

I use Spip for all
Is very good for make a media site.
www.spip.net/en/
they use spip here

I really like drupal. It is extremely customizable. It has a "flexinode" module so that you can define your own content types. I've used it to include mp3s in content types and it has a mp3 metadata decoder that comes with flexinode.
Here's a good tutorial that I used:

This site uses drupal: http://www.ourmedia.org/
So does this: http://www.downhillbattle.org/
Drupal also has awesome rss feed handling, so you can include any rss feeds you want and promote them to features, etc. We use it for deleteTheBorder.org .
Thanx everyone. These are some good tips!
i was looking for something really simple for images a long time ago, and just went ahead and wrote it. there's a bunch of php code out there to parse id3 tags, so says google:"php id3". add that to http://muted.org/gallerysix/ which is a one file index.php drop-in (or slightly more complicated if you want). geez, maybe i should do it and have it work for oggs too.
