I use MythicalLibrarian to create symlinks with 'sane' names of the
recordings, then point Plex Media Server to that directory, and then use
Plex on the iPad to stream the recordings. It works pretty well. Now that
0.25 has some pretty neat MetaData support, there may be a nicer way to do
this, but I haven't looked into it yet.
