—————————————————————————–
Podcasting is a new trend, and there are a lot of people who haven’t heard of it or don’t know exactly what it is. Basically, podcasting is like blogging, but with audio. (“Blogging,” which stands for “web logging,” means maintaining a web-based journal).
a new capability for listeners not only to download an audio file (MP3) from the internet, but to subscribe to receive future audio files from the same source or “channel,” and a growing trend of amateur DJs creating their own “radio shows” as giant MP3 files published on the internet, including both music and talk.
All you need to get started is a Podcasting application. Once you download and install it, simply click on the RSS (really simple syndication) icon for the feed you want, then copy the URL from the address bar of your browser and paste it into your Podcasting application. The software will automatically check for updates and download the files to your computer so you can load them onto your MP3 player.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Launch iPodder
2. Add podcast feeds.
a. Option 1. Copy/paste podcast feed URLs into the text input box on the
Status tab and click Add Feed.
b. Option 2. Click on the Directory tab. Navigate the tree
by clicking or double-clicking on the name of the directory or the folder icons.
Podcast feeds will have a orange dash icon next to them. When you select a
feed, its URL will appear at the bottom of the window. Add the feed
to your subscriptions by clicking Add. It should show up in the main
subscriptions window with state “newly-subscribed”.
3. Set scheduler options
A bit of magic happens when you pick up your MP3 player and fresh content
is already there waiting for you. Use iPodder to schedule automatic downloads
by entering the times you’d like it to run in the Tools -> Scheduler menu option.
First check the box next to “Enable scheduler”. If you’d like
iPodder to run at specific times, select the “Check at these specific times” radio
button and enter the specific times. If you plan to listen to podcasts on
your morning commute, you might set iPodder to perform downloads a few hours
before you leave. Alternatively, you can set iPodder to run at regular
intervals. Select the interval from the “Repeat every” menu. Finally, click
“Save and Close” to apply the settings.
4. Walk away
Well, not literally. But do hide or minimize iPodder and forget about it for
a while. Based on your scheduler settings, iPodder will check for and download
new content and transfer it to your iTunes or Windows Media Player. Of course
if you’d like you can check for new podcasts at any time, just be prepared to
stare the download progress bar for a bit.
5. Listen!
When you’re ready to listen, sync your MP3 player and you’re on your way.
If you’re running Windows and leave your iPod connected, iPodder will
automatically sync it after finishing its downloads.
6. Power user tip
To help manage the volume of new content, we suggest using your music management
software to create a smart playlist of the last N songs added.
Here are several free or commercial Podcasting applications available for download:
