Podcasting

A podcast is like an audio magazine subscription, the subscriber receives regular audio programs via Internet so you can listen at your leisure. The word is a combination of two terms: iPod (music device) and broadcasting (distribution of audio, video ...).

The Podcasts method differs from traditional Internet audio on two things. In the past, listeners had to listen to Internet radio within a schedule or, should download individual files from web pages. The Podcasts are more flexible and easier to operate. Users can listen to a song at any time on your computer or portable music device and the songs are delivered automatically to subscribers, if you need to download music previously. Podcasting is TiVo-like functionality (can play outside programs broadcast schedule).
