On Saturday, July 26, at DrupalCamp Denver, Aaron Winborn will remotely present an overview of the multimedia options for Drupal. We'll examine best practices for handling Images, Video, and Audio on your sites. We'll cover the modules best suited to specific tasks, with some hands-on examples and site recipes.
Aaron Winborn will be presenting with Andrew Morton (drewish) from the Media Code Sprint in Portland, with one of the aims being to put better media handling into Drupal core!
He has just completed writing Drupal Multimedia, to be published in September. (Read the full book announcement at Drupal.org.)
Advomatic got a great press hit today that we're happy to share with you. VoIP News, a niche news and information publication dedicated to covering all aspects of the VoIP and Internet Telephony marketplaces wrote about our Click-to-Call system.

We just added user play list functionality for Air America's media player. Users are able to create their own play lists of favorite audio and video clips, and sort them in their preferred order.
To see this functionality in action, you'll need to go to the Air America site, and create a user account. After doing so, launch their player, by pressing on the big Listen Live button on the top left of every page.
Add two or three audio clips by pressing the "+" next to a clip, then go to the video tab and do the same thing.
Finally, go to the Playlist tab. Here, you can click and drag clips to sort them as desired. Go ahead. It's all saved, which you can confirm by going to another tab, logging out, logging back in, etc.

As I've made the other screenshots, might as well include Rob's. (Not as an oversight, I read his blog as well. Just that I had left out Garland until these comments.) Garland FTW!
Hate's a strong word, though I prefer CSS. But that site is another great example, thanks for the link!
Here's a screenshot to that site, that definitely qualifies as minimalist, being only a single column:
Thanks Wim, a good reminder of yet another reason I chose Drupal over Mambo/Joomla all those years ago: Drupal is minimalist at heart, so we can adopt a procedure of adding on rather than stripping down.
