Is there a way to create nodes that have both audio and video? I'd like to basically converge the audio module display and the video module display in the same node. Would this be something I could do with views?

Thanks for any ideas.

Create a new content type with the CCK and use the Embedded Media Field to add a video field and an audio field to your content type.

HTH,

Does the Embeded Media Field approach give us a nice flash player for either type of media file? Thanks for the help!

What if I just want to upload my own video/audio directly without going to a third-party option for storing my content. Will this still work, or do I have to host my content at youtube, odeo, etc.?

yeah, more generally, try to use modules that provide CCK fields rather than their own node types. with the Audio module (excellent in many ways), you're stuck with the provided "audio" node type. same with the Video module.

Embedded Media Field is a great place to look, i'm also happily using the OpenPackage Video module.
