For that they have not heard speak of podcasting, or they do not know what is exactly, according to the Wikipedia
The word podcasting is a mixture of the words iPod and broadcasting. However, iPod is not necessary to listen since it is archives of audio that can be reproduced in any device based on the format: mp3, ogg, etc. According to numerous authors, the term also could have its origin in Pod, that is translated like capsule or case in English and which also it gave name iPod.
Podcast is resembled a subscription to a spoken magazine in which we received the programs through Internet.
Its content is diverse, but usually it is to weblogger speaking on diverse subjects. This is the definition bases. However, it can be extended of different ways. There is podcasts on diverse subjects, mainly technological. Some people prefer to use a script and others speak to capella and of unexpected form. Some seem a radio program, putting in music, whereas others exclusively make podcasts shorter and with voice, just as with weblogs.
When defining podcasting, in Podcastellano also adds
The main advantages of podcasting against the simple positioning of archives of sound in a page Web are the syndication, that is to say, the possibility that a program or a service Web it remembers to visit the sources once in a while and to verify if there are new archives that to unload to listen.
Against streaming, or broadcasting of sound by means of Internet, podcasting it offers independence, mobility and freedom of schedule. That is to say, it is possible to be heard in any portable device that reproduces MP3 (or the chosen format), in any place, without limitations of cover or connection to the Network, and at any time, since it is recorded.
In short, to be informed into when they hang new podcast, the same method is used that stops posts in blog: feed RSS. Therefore, a standard agregador RSS can merit for this assignment. Nevertheless programs specifically created exist to handle of more effective way ours podcasts. I am going to speak del to you that I use habitually, Juicer (before known like Ipodder).
Juicer is a program, of course, with license lpg (free software) and multiplatform (Windows, OS X, and shortly Linux), that basically manages a list of feeds RSS corresponding to podcasts that we want to listen, and is in charge to unload the files of audio automatically, keeping them in directories, one by podcast. Once in our hard disk, we will only have to copy them to card SD of the Palm (since they will occupy enough megas), with any method of which they commented previously.
Juicer in its version for Windows
Juicer has more functionalities, like erasing podcasts after a certain time, so that they do not fill our hard disk, to maintain log of podcasts lowered, to know as they are recent and as no, a directory intern of podcasts to find those that interests to us, support to import and to export files OPML, etc.
In order to listen to ours podcasts in the PDA we will only need a reproducer standard music. With my Tungsten E2 the Real Player for Palm came, that is gratuitous. Also the TCPMP reproduces MP3, among others formats. TCPMP is a complete reproducer as much of audio as of video, besides being free software, reason why I will speak of him in detail advanced more.
Now that we know as to unload podcasts it only is to find those that interest to us between the ample variety that there is. A very complete listing of that they exist in Spanish you will find it in the own Podcastellano. I notice that it hooks, since I am subscribed to a few podcasts, I almost do not listen to music when I go by the street with my Palm and the earpieces. Contendio available is varied and of great quality, and every time it goes to better. He would be interesting that all that one that wants to recommend podcast that it listens, or that does he himself, the direction postease in the commentaries. And if it has still not done it, the directory of Podcastellano is waiting for it!
