What Is Podcasting?
A podcast is an easy way to automatically download audio files to your MP3
player through your computer. Use a free application to subscribe to the
appropriate RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed. The application checks the
site regularly and starts a download whenever it finds something new.
How Do I Get Started?
Here's what you'll need: a computer, an Internet connection, a portable MP3
player or MP3-playback application on your computer, and some free podcasting
software.
1. Install the software on your computer (PC or Mac).
2. Subscribe to a Podcast Feed by pasting its URL into your Podcast application.
3. The next time you synch your MP3 device, any new audio files added since your last synch will automatically be downloaded.
What Software Do I Use?
Depending on your preference, you can use
iPodder,
jPodder (Windows),
iPodderX (MacOS X) or another Podcast application of
your choosing.
