PodCasting...

[KingSnake]

Is anyone here "Podcasting"? I am still kind of learning how it all works.. it has something to do with audio, and RSS feeds.. correct?

Can anyone explain it, that knows how it works?

"87.9 FM, enjoi the radio again!"

What is podcasting?

Think how a desktop aggregator works. You subscribe to a set of feeds, and then can easily view the new stuff from all of the feeds together, or each feed separately.

Podcasting works the same way, with one exception. Instead of reading the new content on a computer screen, you listen to the new content on an iPod or iPod-like device.

Think of your iPod as having a set of subscriptions that are checked regularly for updates. Today there are a limited number of programs available this way. The format used is RSS 2.0 with enclosures.

In the future, radio shows like All Things Considered and Rush Limbaugh will be available in this manner, and perhaps other syndication formats will support enclosures.

Guess it is the otherway around. I was thinking in terms of broadcasting from your iPod (via iTrip etc.)

PODCASTING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ITRIP OR RADIO!!!!!

Anyway, I don't podcast myself, but I do listen to quite a few. Try ipodder.org for a whole bunch of podcasts :)

ok i read about podcasting, records shows and stuff and puts it on your ipod. is there anyway to have my computer record my local radio morning show and transfer it? my guess is i'd need an FM component to attatch to my PC.

Go 2 the radios website,see if you can download songs.....If not you can probably buy a cheap FM Reciever for your PC or maybe try to download a program for that or on Windows Media Player it has a Radio tuner,hope this helps PM if you need me

Or for 14-32 dollars you can buy Audio HiJack 3.2 which records all of that for you (Picks up radio stations when you have an internet connection) it is pretty cool.
