Mock-Up of Interview Page Displaying Sound Bites

Special Drupal modules would have to be developed in order for interview transcripts to be broken up and stored as nodes containing sound bites within Drupal.

I'll have to talk to Moshe more about why exactly this is, but it's my impression that nodes store more information than I would like to have displayed (i.e. such as title, date, author, etc.) when the soundbites are aggregated and displayed together as they are shown below.

It might be possible to go ahead and store the soundbites as traditional nodes as long as a special sound bite display module was developed to extract and display certain

The mock-up below shows the default display for how the sound bites would appear when clicking on an interview page such as http://www.echochamberproject.com/plante

I would want the default to be the "Feedback" version -- the sound bites would be broken up and displayed in tables along with hypertext links to the pages for feedback on each sound bite.

The "Printable" version would string the soundbites together and be easier to read and print.

I'd like to have tabs at the top of the page so that the user could chose which version to view.

A more reader friendly printable tab would eliminate the tables and seemlessly string all of the soundbites together to be displayed as the following:
