Podcasting, A Tutorial
By Hans Dekker, Sat Dec 10th
Podcasting -- Radio on your MP3 player Podcasting is the latest buzzword in the computer world. Itrefers to radio style MP3 recordings that are available fordownload from web sites. It seems like almost everybody isinvolved in podcasting. Radio wannabes have at last found theirniche -- there are podcasts on every subject under the sun. Podcasts can be listened to using any kind of audio softwarethat is installed on your computer, or they can be transferredto an MP3 player. There's no need to use the MP3player -- the "pod" in podcasting refers to iPod but has noconnection to that particular player.
The Apple iTunes software, though, can be used to synchronizeyour podcasts automatically. Simply plug your iPod into the USBport of the computer and any new podcasts will be transferred tothe player. But how do you find podcasts? How are they downloaded? There are many websites that have directories of podcasts. Youcan search for podcasts by subject or region. After finding afew that look appealing you can subscribe to them using an RSSfeed. RSS is a syndication format which allows you toautomatically receive content that you have subscribed to. RSSis used on many types of web sites -- you can subscribe toeverything from the latest news and weather to shoppinginformation. Once you have subscribed to an RSS feed the content isdownloaded automatically so that you can view it any time. Thesame thing with podcasting -- new podcasts are downloaded toyour computer so that you can listen to them at your convenience. People have an MP3 player are not the only ones whocan synchronize their podcasts. Software
