What Is Podcasting

Podcasting" is making audio files (most commonly in MP3 format) available online in R.S.S.(Really Simple Syndication). This is a way that allows software to automatically download the files for listening at the user's convenience.

A podcast is like an audio magazine subscription: a subscriber receives regular audio programs delivered via the internet, and they can listen to them at their leisure with an aggregator program or transfer to their portable devices. The ipodder software from the creators of podcasting is a simple to use aggregator.

Podcasts differ from traditional internet audio in two important ways. In the past, listeners have had to either tune in to web radio on a schedule, or they have had to search for and download individual files from web pages. Podcasts are much easier to get. They can be listened to at any time because a copy is on the listener's computer or portable music player. (hence the "pod" in "podcasting") They are automatically delivered to subscribers, so no active downloading is required. Your aggregator will only download the subscribed podcast if there is a new show available.

Podcasting is functionally similar to the use of digital video recorders (DVR's), such as TiVo, which let users record and store television programs for later viewing. More information is availableplaylistmag.com
