Podcasting With Your Pocket PC
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 03:00 PM
There's been several interesting articles on Podcasting this week, including pt's over at Engadget that works with iPods, but Kevin at Pocket PC Tools went ahead and wrote up a nice summary on how to do the same thing with your Pocket PC.
"At its most basic level, Podcasting is a way for anyone to publicly broadcast anything they want. Currently, there are no controls, regulations or censoring activities. Similar to a blog where people can post their opinions and thoughts, Podcasting is an audio media that can reach the masses. All you need is a way to digitally record whatever it is you want, using a setup as simple as a computer and a microphone. Podcasts are typically in an .mp3 format and will vary in quality; like any other digital audio, the higher the bit rate you use during encoding, the larger the file size. Think of a Podcast as a type of radio show. You can add background music, live interviews and more; the sky is the limit. You record your "show" and then use RSS enclosures around it. Similar to the functionality of news aggregators that handle RSS subscription feeds, software such as Ipodder can subscribe to Podcast feeds and automatically pull the audio content of your choice down to your computer."
