AGGREGATORS

RSS allows us to choose which kinds of subjectswe want to learn about via Internet articles. Thesame is true of a podcasting aggregator. You couldthink of a podcasting aggregator as RSPS, RealSimple Podcast Syndication.

The podcasting aggregator streams audio signalsthat you specify to yourMP3 player, or computer.

Perhaps the most well-known example of apodcasting aggregator today is Apple's iTunes. This

kind of podcasting aggregator is tied to Apple'sonlinemusic store, although podcasts are free ofcharge. Other online examples of the podcastingaggregator include Podcast Alley and Podcast.net.

DOWNLOADSDONTHAVETOBELIVE

The podcasting aggregator is built on the theory

that downloads don't always have to be live. In

other words, we can set up a podcasting

aggregator to subscribe to podcasts and download

new episodes whenever they become available. Unlike radio, podcasts can be downloaded and

listened to at our leisure. They are there when we're

ready to listen to them, thanks to the podcasting

aggregator.
