- If the option for the item template is present (e.g. --item-template templates/item.html.erb), generate individual html pages for each item from it and link to it from the index.html. Leave it off by default.
- Derive nice-looking HTML templates from Wordpress' Twenty Eleven theme
- Print warnings when one of the specs from http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html is violated
- Allow muting of the iTunes warnings (see above) using a commandline switch
- Implement sidecar files
- Write up some documentation on how the mapping between ID3 tags, iTunes and channel / item attributes works
- Support other file types than mp3 (e.g. ogg or pdf)
- Treat lyrics as plain text for the episode page, and with an optional command line switch we could also support markdown etc.
- Potential optimization for large numbers of mp3 files: If there is an existing index.rss file, do not re-read the information from those files that are still there and still have the same hash value.
- It feels pretty awkward to refer to the ID3v2 frame names all the time. After all, this is an implementation detail. Maybe we can wrap the frames with a nicer name, but still allow access to the underlying mp3info library? Maybe all we need is some aliasing and / or delegation?
- Potentially replace the ERB template with Builder::XmlMarkup, see http://builder.rubyforge.org/ (the same that Rails uses)
- Improve handling of iTunes' normalization data.
id3info test/fixtures/iTunes.mp3shows that comments do have a key, and we want to skip iTunNORM. - Write up a man page so that gem man can pick it up
