Computers must be male. As soon as you commit to one you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the day. Author Unknown

Podcast Software





There are many podcast software programs available to


use. Many of them are even free. Because of the


decentralized, geek adopted nature of podcasting, a


wide variety of programs are available, from large


programs with a big footprint that do many different


jobs to tiny little software packages that do the bare


minimum. A package is available for podcast


subscribers of almost any type, and more are being


created everyday.



While some podcast software is designed for home user


computers, much of it is designed to be used online.


There are many packages created so that feed


subscribers can view the podcasts they enjoy from


within a web browser. These software packages contain


both the feed reader like the home user software does,


but usually also incorporate a way to view or listen to


the podcasts online from inside the browser. Much of


this software is used at the podcast directories that


maintain listings of podcast feeds.



Another type of online podcast software is the category


of feed creators. PHP scripting is usually used to create


the RSS file that tells the feed readers where to


download the podcasts from. The scripting can either


create a hard copy of the RSS file and write it to the


server disk when the feed is updated, or it can make it


virtually. When the RSS file is generated virtually, it


doesn't actually exist on the host's server. Instead, the


address of the PHP script is distributed as the address of


the feed. When the script is accessed, it generates the


file by looking at the recent posts at the site and sends


the results to the feed subscriber.
