“Podcasting” is the process of making audio and media files (most commonly in MP3 format) available online in a way that allows software to automatically download the files for listening or viewing at the user’s convenience. Podcasts are indexed and tracked by means of RSS files. Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for content distribution. Media can be made portable to many devices by placing the appropriate meta information within the RSS file. So how do I use RSS Feeds to download Podcasts? One such program is iPodder and is technically a “Media Aggregator,” a program that allows you to select and download audio files from anywhere on the Internet to your desktop. iPodder makes the process easy by helping you select audio files from among the thousands of audio sources on the web and downloading those files to your computer. Once you select a feed or location, it will download those files automatically at times you specify and have the files waiting for you on your computer, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time manually selecting and waiting for downloads. You can play your selected audio files using iTunes or other “jukebox” software, or load them on to your iPod or other portable digital media player to play anytime you want.
