Getting Podcasts on a Portable Media Center (and other Windows Media Devices)
In a continuation of our Podcasting series, for this week�s HOW-TO we look at how to get Podcasts on non-iPod devices. A Podcast is usually an audio program somewhere on the web that can be downloaded automatically to your audio playing device, so you can listen to it wherever and whenever you want. You actually do not need an iPod to publish or receive Podcasts, but the �Pod� name caught on, so many folks have emailed us asking if they can use their Windows Media devices as well as Portable Media Centers. You can and we�ll show you how all using free programs.
Software from Adam Curry:
iPodder is small program that runs on your computer. It’s only purpose is to download audio files, usually mp3’s, directly to your mp3 device. Currently iPod is supported on both Windows and Mac.
And it’s not just for iPods! Other devices are supported through Windows Media Player. Any device that can exchange files with WMP will work with iPodder.
