Apple incorpora podcasting
SAN FRANCISCO - Apple Computer Inc. CEO Steve Jobs called podcasting "the hottest thing going in radio" on Monday and promised to make it easier for audiophiles to create and distribute the digital recordings.
(...) At a technology conference on Monday, Jobs previewed iTunes version 4.9. The software allows users to click on and subscribe to different podcasts, then automatically delivers the shows to any connected iPod far less cumbersome than the third-party applications many listeners now need.
The newest iTunes will include a directory of podcasts, and creators will be able to register their shows with Apple's iTunes Music Store.
"We think it's going to take podcasting mainstream, to where anyone can do it," Jobs told the gathering of software developers.
Jobs' support for podcasting could make the phenomenon more popular, particularly if the iTunes store becomes the Internet's de facto repository of podcasts. Since its launch two years ago, the store has sold more than 400 million songs.
