An Ideal Podcast Player
January 12, 2005With the launch of the iPod shuffle last night, the more I think about it the more I see what a great tool it is for Podcasting. If you load this iPod with songs you can’t control in which order they are played meaning if you love playing a song over and over it’s not the device for you.
You don’t have a display and thus can’t easily choose which mp3 to play, so if life really “is random”, why not load it up with your favorite podcasts.
But with Podcasts you only want to hear a Podcast once and get rid of it. No one wants to listen to a 40 minute show or even a one minute show more than once. You know you’re going to be listening to Podcasts which you are subscribed to and listen to regulary.
