Also Apple have announced that the iPod and iPod photo lines are merging, now all iPods will feature color displays with the ability to view album artwork, photos and play slideshows in color. The simplified iPod lineup features a 20GB model, holding up to 5,000 songs priced at just €319 and a 60GB model, holding up to 15,000 songs priced at €449.

For each person who arrives to get the update they will be wondering what the podcasting icon is all about. iTunes embracing podcasting means that more people can and will hopefully be subscribing to podcasts.

Notes:

I can now subscribe to the RSS feed from New Music Tuesday, before I would of having to enter my credit cards details in order to receive them.

Subscribing to an episode or podcast fast is a very easy process, go to the music store under genre choose Podcasts and select your favourite podcasters. You will now be shown details of the podcast, a link to their website and how many available episodes they have. Here you can just pick certain episodes or subscribe to the feed.

On the Podcast homepage you can select publish a podcast if you want to manually insert to our feed.

The first major podcatcher for the MAC will soon be released under beta for Window users.

It’s been a deep dark secret for some time now, but we can finally announce that a Windows version of iPodderX is on its way! So not only will iPodderX run on Intel on the Mac OS, it will also run on Intel or AMD on your PC.

But the problem is by that time iTunes 4.9 should be available as the latest update. Most iPod users will automatically switch from their current podcatchers to iTunes. But it is great to finally she that iPodderX will be switching to Windows.

The website is virginatlantic.loudish.com.

Thea aim of the podcast is to use podcasting to bring you exciting and up to date content about their destinations, starting with a series of audio guides to New York.

Breda Bubear, Head of Advertising and Communication at Virgin Atlantic said: “Podcasting gives us a fantastic opportunity to communicate with our customers in a new and innovative way. We believe that providing travellers with relevant destination content will help them plan their trip, and giving it to them in a portable format will enable them to make the most of their time away. We’re very excited to be championing this new technology.”

Firstly Tom’s podcast is a great idea for the blind people not only around Ireland but around the world. They get to listen to Tom’s blog without needing assistance. All they need to do is get someone to subscribe to the items that interest them (from tagged items or categories) and they can conneted their iPod each day and get the latest updates.

Secondly it’s great to see the Irish grabbing a hold of podcasting and getting their voice out on the Internet. We now have 6 Irish podcasters who have gone through the whole experience and for podcatchers in Ireland it’s great to hear some homemade talent.

Tom’s podcast feed is: http://www.tomrafteryit.net/category/podcast/feed/

There is already 70 mentions of Ireland in the podcast feeds which have been included in Odeo. Adding your podcast feed is a very easy process and you can tag it with any amount of keywords.

Once logged in I quickly began to feel at home; Doppler, iPodder and Nimiq became a distant memory, Odeo is seen as a way to bring podcasting into the ears of the average Internet user. I had already seen screenshots of Odeo appear on Flickr but having full access meant I could fully interact and test it out for myself.

Firstly the colours/layout of the main page is excellent. Because Odeo is simply for listening/syncing and creating that’s what it sticks to. The main navigation appears just under the Odeo logo, just underneath it features 4 podcasters, in this area you can listen to their latest podcast/view their image and click to see their information.

Just underneath is the hottest podcasts currently being listened too with details of the amount of shows they have/comments they have received and subscribers they currently have. Below this is the latest news section which features articles relating to Odeo.

The right hand column features the most important information on the page. It offers the options to search through podcasts, browse the most popular podcasts and the latest entries. Tagging is becoming more and more information for bloggers thanks to Technorati, Odeo allows you to submit your RSS feed and tag it how you see it.

For Listeners there will be a vast directory with gathered data from your friends to suggest podcasts you may be interested in.

For Podcasters they will be offering free hosting and also make podsafe music available to you for inclusion in your show.

For Musicians they offer the chance to submit their music for podcasters to use in their shows.

We are not kidding ourselves — there will always be lazy students who prefer to stay in bed or let their minds wander during the seminars. This technology provides a safety net.

The orginal idea came from Bernie Goldbach and has served many students greatly on the run up to exams.

Big Feeder makes it easy to search and surf the latest media feeds. If you already use Mixcast you can easily upload your podcasts via ftp and tag your show in the process. Now people can subscribe to a tag and receive the recordings as Podcasts.

If you have already purchased Mixcast live you will receive 200MB of media file uploads and unlimited feeds and posts on Bigfeeder.com.

Once you rip your packet open you will see a 6 number code. It will also tell you straight away that you are the lucky winner of a 20GB iPod or a 1GB iPod Shuffle. You can claim your prize on the Wrigley closer to music website and see if you have won.

Implied in the term is exciting, refreshing, and “mind feeding” material being presented by a host of scholars devoted to helping others learn using the latest technologies.

A podcast is a recorded item, it can range in any length and be about anything. You can record your own podcast via your mobile phone, a minidisc or direct from your computer.

Podcasting is the process of uploading your completed podcast and posting it onto your website. If you don’t have a website just log on to blogs or blogsome for a free website.

Once you post the location of the podcast file. It will be inserted into a RSS file. The RSS file allows people to copy the link and paste it into a podcatcher which will automatically download these shows at set times. So people can sync up their MP3 player and listen to your recording on the move.

View up to date tag cloud.

One-Click subscription describes the method of subscribing to a podcast RSS feed by just clicking a link in a web page. An application installed on the user’s computer will be invoked by the user’s web browser when the link is clicked. The application is then able to add the selected podcast feed to the user’s subscription list.

Soon to be available at http://podspecwg.org/.

Just like PodFas, PodBrix sells modified minifigs inspired by the popular ad campaign for portable music players. Moving on from the minifigs Timi produced a great t-shirt for use with the iPod Shuffle with a magnetic attachment. This quickly sold out and soon after he launched PodShirt which sells for $29.

Buy Podcaster a Podshirt

A new podcasting site, BritCaster, is calling itself “the hub of UK podcasting”. The site features non-commercial UK podcasts, and all Britcaster podcasts are available via an aggregated feed.

Maybe the podirish site should become the home for Irish podcasters to sign-up, post and upload their podcasts.

The only problem is the amount of domains relating to this which have been purchased.

jobcast.com, jobcasting.com, podjob(s).com to mention just a few.

This is a very useful tool as every artist on the site now has a free podcast, where listeners can receive new songs (and other audio messages), gig listings, and news posted by the artists.

Jenna Drey is one such artist who is now playing on my iPod after I easily downloaded her songs all at once.

Podish involves Irish people embracing podcasting without having to pay to upload their items, all they need is their mobile phone. The mobile allows people to easily record an item/issue in the news that they want to express their opinion on, or maybe be adventurous and interview somebody or do a sound seeing tour of their town area. The possibilities are endless.

Podish is an open forum where you can speak your mind about any issue. All you need to do is grab your mobile phone… speak your mind and send it as a MMS to podish@gmail.com.

I want to keep the folk music tradition alive and preserve folk music with this podcast. The music featured is a variety of traditional folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, and occasional American folk songs and original songs, plus, commentaries and news occasional news.

Interesting idea but as of yet has no RSS feed.

What is it?

A website for Irish people to contribute to by sharing their views on any number of topics which interest/effect them.

I was recently pointed to the Guardians Soulmates website and informed that they have added the option for singles to record a voice clip for people to listen to them as they read through their profile. This is a great addition, but doesn’t include any RSS feeds.

The problem with these and other sites is in the cost. They may say:

Becoming a member is quick, easy and free.

But what they really mean is “Sign-up, fill out 5 pages of a profile as detailed as possible, receive email confirmation, log-in and realise you need to pay-up to send anyone a message… rates start at nearly £17 for just one month, a year costs a massive £95 pounds, the Irish sites aren’t much better value.

Podato is free and will remain so, why pay to meet someone (that’s illegal in the real world). Just give ‘Podato A Go’ and see where you can go from there… for free.

PodNova is an initiative from Active8. The company which was at the birth of iSpider (now known as iPodder lemon). We have tried to solve the following problems.

• One click subscription
• Synchronization of multiple iPodder clients
• More reliable rating system
• Faster and more detailed searchable iPodder directory

Podifier is an excellent application that automates the creation of an RSS feed, the enclosing of one or more MP3 files, edting of ID3 tags and the ftp application to upload them to a server.

A very handy all-in-one podcast upload system available for download here.

This blog began back in November which seems a really long time ago, in this time many Irish people (around 6) have gone about producing a podcast. Many people have e-mailed with some amazing ideas, future ideas and also people wondering how they can turn their radio stations into podcasts.

Now I see a chance of creating a weekly podcast of recordings, clips about all sorts of topics week, all placed together, edited and uploaded. It’s really easy to record items (mobile phone, minidisc or via computer). I have 100 MB of webspace over at eircom.net, so that could host between 7-14 shows (depending on the length). Once it reaches its max capacity I can upload them to gmail for archive purposes.

I am waiting on confirmation from ourproject.org to use their website as a place where we can have a group discussion. But for the time being we can use this location.

It’s a three part Podcast of this morning’s Iraq speech - each file is about 5MB big. If you can’t use the snazzy Podcasting XML below, then links to the individual files are also provided.

Podbus is a new service allowing people to sign-up and receive 300MB of storage and an automated RSS feed (much like what dircaster achieves) for $4 a month. This basically means you can upload 15 shows with a length of 20 minutes. For an extra $2 you can host a website with php enabled.

I’ll recap on podlots service to be fair - They offer 150MB with unlimited bandwidth for $5 month, or if you are a podcast addict you can get 1000MB of storage costing $15 a month, this allows you to host up to 15 domains and have unlimited e-mail addresses. They also offer php support if you want to create a website with added features like cgi, perl and python.

My advice would be to sign up for the basic package and host your site/blog on blogsome for free and link to the podcasts from there.

Podkissed: Allow easy management of podcasts to mobile.

Podsafe: Registered late last year, will maybe have a database of usable content for podcasts.

PodcastAds: Dates all the way back to November. Is it now too late for this idea as podshow is aiming to push the same idea?

Podbat: All round tool, management system for podcasts, show notes and a podcatcher.

Podglo: Sounds interesting, but not fully sure what it will offer.

Odeo: Currently in beta, most people very keen to use this site.

Podscope looks for podcasts and creates an index against every word, thereby making the contents searchable. The user can search on a term, generate a list of results ranked by a variety of methods to find the most relevant podcast and click to play or click to download.

You can enter your email to get an announcement once it launches and you can also submit your RSS feed for crawling. This service should be up and running by the end of the month.

Recently Adam Curry launched podshow.com which he is aiming to get people involved so they can start making money from their podcasts.

Dave places a quick dig at Adam on his site when he states -

Can developers and users party together once again? ;->

Anywho I got around 18 minutes of the show, but at this stage I began to worry because the clown was looking for people from the audience to come on stage. So I quickly untangled the microphone from the miniisc and placed it firmly back in my pocket, so yes you guessed it I was picked out as my parents picked a ring-side seat. He gabbed three other males and a female, he enacted playing an instrument which we had to step into the spotlight and copy. So it comes to my turn and he starts playing the air guitar. So yep I had to stand in the arena jumping up and down playing with an invisible quitar. The others had to play the sax, the drums, one guy prending to preform in a microphone and the female got the chance to dance.

So once we all had our minute in the spotlight he gave us all a blow up instrument and gave the lead singer a funny outfit, so there I was going through the motions when he comes over and pushes me over so I was lying flat wiggling me legs in the air while playing the guitar. It was great fun actually playing along.

1.) Firstly record your podcast.

2.) Copy it over to your mobile (must be bluetooth enabled and have an MultiMediaCard (MMC).

3.) Take a quiet pub in Ireland hook in a MMV-100 into the scart connection. Now once you stay within 10 meters of the TV you can broadcast your podcast.

To listen just click the above image or you can subscribe to the following feed: http://podcaster.blogsome.com/feed/rss2

If you want to listen as a podcast just place the RSS feed in a podcatcher and click the download button, now it will download as you work and you can place it on your mp3 player. It runs for just over 23 minutes (perfect for your commute).

We provide free bandwidth for your video, podcast, software download, or any other file you want to post. We will support downloads of any quantity and are adding infrastructure to support very large volumes of downloads.

The first step is to sign-up and register your website. Now when you publish a podcast just enter the location of the file on your hosting sites web address and add the following: .freebandproject.com.

Example: http://podcaster.blogsome.com.freebandproject.com/uploads/podcast_0506.mp3

Podcasting is hot. But it just got hotter. Paris Hilton invites you to join her on “The Paris Hilton Podcast — Countdown to House of Wax,” beginning on April 29. Join Paris and friends as she shops, parties, poses and publicizes in the days leading up to the May 6 opening of House of Wax.

Just in case anyone is confused at this stage it’s a podcast not a porncast. View the details here.

How it works: you send an image by MMS to yourword@grafedia.net. You publicise it by writing the word you choose anywhere in the real world in blue with an underline (just like a hyperlink). The person sees it on a street corner gets out their mobile and sends an MMS to theword@grafedia.net. To anyone else it may be graffiti put to people in the know it’s a link into a wider community.

Example: Lets say you take a picture at 4am of your friend lying outside a church. You take the picture and send it to holygirl@grafedia.net. The next day you write holygirl@grafedia.net on notice boards, on printouts, on street corners etc People take notice and can get the picture by sending a blank MMS to holygirl@grafedia.net. If they do this the image is sent to their mobile phone. This service also works from your computer where you send a blank email to holygirl@grafedia.net.

So let us relate this to Podato.com, the single person can send in their recordings as usual, we then get their name and make a email like emma@grafedia.net, we/she can add the link to where ever possible for people to see. The single guy can see this and use his mobile on the spot to send an MMS to emma@grafedia.net and is soon sent her recording to his mobile and no data is swapped between the two people.

Test it out - Send a blank email to podato@grafedia.net and see what happens.

Update - The RSS feed does not support enclosures so podcatching will not work. I would generate a url from mfeeds but that service is currently down.

• Quote from Brian Russell

Here is the statement of purpose as of now:

PodcasterCon is a free users conference about podcasting. The focus will be on learning. In effect it is an anti-expo without swag, without product promotion, and a way to keep podcasting fun!

How will it work?

PodShirt offers specialized apparel designed to show-off your iPod shuffle. Using a patent-pending magnetic clasp system, the iPod shuffle attaches seamlessly to the clothing to become part of the apparel design.

Sizes come in Medium, Large and X-Large with a price tag of $28.99.
