Amy,<br><br>Right now we are recommending users against it, and pushing for straight embeds in HTML view. we then are going to go through the database and rewite all the AMP code for YouTUbe videos (99% of the usage) to a straight embed code which should solve the problem with bad code and lost videos. As of Fall 2010, Anarchy will no longer be available, and we'll check out what the best options for audio uploads are. We've stayed away from PodPress because it too is a resource hound, and adds an unimaginable amount of tables to each blog database. More than that, no one uploads their own videos onto UMW Blogs.<br>
<br>Viper's plugin integrated into 2.9.1 is promising, but I haven;t tested that with audio yet. Anarchy worked brilliantly with audio, but turns out most folks used it for YouTube, nonetheless, it was a beautiful thing for audio when it was still supported. I'll miss you anarchy.<br>

Hey Jim,<br>
<br>
Can you say more about your process for transitioning away from AMP?<br>
Given AMP's state of (non)support and WP native embeds, we'd like to<br>
nudge our people away from it before our service gets too much bigger,<br>
but we wouldn't want to just shut it off if it's going to break the<br>
content that's already in place. Are you giving your users warnings?<br>
self-help instructions? some kind of upgrade scripts for existing<br>
embeds?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
