Podcasting

Podcasting A definition from Wikipedia - A **podcast** is a series of [|digital media] [|files] (either [|audio] or [|video]) that are released episodically and [|downloaded] through [|web syndication]. The mode of delivery differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the [|Internet], such as simple download or [|streamed] [|webcasts]: a centrally-maintained [|web feed] on the distributor's [|server] lists all files associated with a given series, and special [|client] [|software] applications known as //podcatchers// (e.g., [|iTunes], [|Zune], [|Juice], and [|Winamp]) are used that can automatically identify and download new files in the series when they are released, by checking the feed for updates. New files are thus downloaded automatically and stored locally on the user's [|computer] or other device ready for [|offline] use, giving simpler access to episodic content.[|[1]][|[2]] The most common audio file format used is [|MP3].[//[|c]//
