What are Podcast Feeds?

So what’s the big deal about the much-talked about podcast feeds? The hype is that the feeds are the very backbone of the podcast revolution—without those feeds, nobody can upload and download these files. Those millions of music videos and video highlights? They’d be gone, buried in the computers of the people who created them, but inaccessible to everyone else on the web.


So how do podcast feeds work? They are a way of sharing files over the internet. Podcast feeds makes use of a small, machine readable file, that updates the users of any changes like new additions to the list.


If you go through the file, you’ll see addresses imbedded into the code. These “share” the locations of the files to the readers, so they know where to look. (The files are usually read-only or share-only media files). Originally podcasts concentrated on music files like mp3s, but recent developments have paved the way for sharing video files too. Who knows what other kinds of information the future “feeds” will bring?


Each individual feed is called an episode, and can be about a number of things: a the latest routine from a stand-up comedian, a song by an aspiring country singer, a lecture on the best California wines, or announcements about a game and a sneak b\preview of its graphic capabilities. In fact, the types of feeds have grown considerably as more and more groups have identified the capabilities and marketing opportunities within podcasts.


To subscribe to a feed, users need to get an aggregator. An aggregator is piece of software that lets you “subscribe” to an RSS feed. iIt then automatically pulls the files/shows you have subscribed to and automatically inserts them into your favourite desktop music player whether it Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes. Once the audio file has been added to your music library, the next time you dock and sync your portable music player the files are automatically moved over ready for you to listen to on next time you leave the house.


While choosing aggregators, check what types of feeds they can manage. Some don’t just deal with audio files. You can find a few aggregators that will handle feeds from text based only blogs as well as audio and video blogs. Do a bit of research and you will be sure to find one that matches your needs.


In the future, podcast feeds may be used for a number of purposes besides simply sharing media files In fact, the newer innovations in podcast feeds—the vlog, or videoblog—have become more and more popular. Even media greats such as BBC have used it to share some of its news content. Some analysts predict that the feed system could also be used to share software updates, or any of a myriad of other file types. For now, however, podcasting is dominated by small audio and video files, but with the increasing popularity and interest in this new medium, it will be interesting to see what kind of innovations we will see in the next few years.

Podcastblaster is a site specializing in all aspect of podcasting and provides a free podcast feed creator together with podcasting software.

Podcast Safe Music

47034751 93356487cf m Podcast Safe Music
by rob.wall

Podcasting is the new thing in broadcasting nowadays. Practically anyone can create his own podcast and make himself known to the world. Perhaps the best thing about podcasting is that it is meant to be free. In addition to that, podcasts transcend the boundaries of traditional broadcasting. You may be from the US but anyone with access to the internet can listen to your podcast. A person may be in Timbuktu and yet have access to your podcast.


Music is inherent to the success of any podcast. It adds spice and flavor to an otherwise bland broadcast. That is why a large pool of resources has been developed by people in the podcasting community. Beginners and veterans a like search for the perfect background music or filler sounds for every podcast they make. So how do you go about looking for that spice?


Despite the freedom provided by podcasting, there are some issues you must address before jumping into the bandwagon and creating your own podcast. Copyright and intellectual property rights have been a main concern in all aspects of broadcasting for some time now and podcasting is not exempt from that. As a result, the term podsafe has come into existence. What exactly is podsafe? This term encompasses any material that may be used for podcasts without violating any copyright or license. A special thing about podsafe material is that the very same material might require some sort of license in other media but totally safe for podcasting. Due to the open community nature of podcasting, many songs, music, and other type of materials are allowed to be used for free exclusively for podcasts. While you might have to acquire the permission of the copyright holder for other broadcasting media, with podsafe material, you can use it freely in podcasts.


Some specific kinds of work are inherently podsafe. Works that fall under the public domain or some works with Creative Commons licenses can be used in podcasts without any issues. They are meant to be used, and used freely.


There are some entities on the web that license music especially for podcasts. Their podcast safe music is generally available to anyone for downloading and for use in free broadcasts over the internet. The only restriction they have is for the user to duly acknowledge the source. Anyone may also post music on their sites as long as the piece of work is totally original.


Some sites make their music available for no fee at all. On the other hand there are sites which promote artists – particularly independent ones – and charge a small fee for downloading their songs. Notably, these sites also offer labeled artists and are supposed to split the downloading fees with them.


The important thing to bear in mind when looking for podcast safe music is that most of the groups offering materials make them available to the general public for free. The caveat is that your podcast must not be used for commercial purposes. If that is the case, then you will have no problems finding the right track for your podcast.

Podcastblaster.com supplies a complete podcasting solution including podcast safe music and tips on creating podcasts.

Types Of Music Podcasts

The listeners often appreciate this close contact, and some become resentful when their favorite groups gain widespread popularity. Musicians may find that the music podcast they share is a way to build a following and gain an audience that is loyal to them. Since many of the musicians who podcast do so as independent artists who lack the sound the music industry is looking
for or simply haven’t been noticed yet, a music podcast may build a following that attracts attention to them and gives them an entry point into the music industry.

For others, a music podcast may be the chance to become a dj, and the episodes they share will contain mixes of different songs, highlighting obscure yet
accomplished artists and taking their listeners on a tour every episode. These amateurs podcast merely because they enjoy the activity, as most independent podcasters do. Yet another type of music podcast, however, involves the online radio station. While some radio stations have taken the leap to the internet by offering streaming connections to their current play list, others have accepted the podcast as a way of sharing their music. Such a style is very similar to the amateur dj, but brings a level of professionalism that is not found with
the amateur podcasters.

A music podcast may also be a way to sample works by more well known artists before purchasing. Some musicians and groups will podcast their new music, or
portions of the new pieces, in order to peak interest in the songs before release. Fans get to listen to the music and find out what they might like before purchasing the whole album. A possibility, however, is that music podcasts become subscription based, and musicians begin charging for access to the feed. The online sale of music has proved its popularity, with Apple’s iTunes reaching its one billionth paid download recently. A music group could conceivably offer a feed to its fans that they could pay for, and regularily update it with new songs that would be downloaded directly to the fan’s computers Although this distribution model is not
yet in place, it seems to fit with the over all trend. Already, some nonmusic groups have agreed to podcast their files, on the condition that a paid subscription is
bought.

Is your music library getting a little stale? Always listening to the same old stuff? Let Music Rockstar infuse a little life into your music playlists. With no purchase or registration required, how can you go wrong? Get access to a wide selection of genres and music. You can even create playlists and add songs to your favorite

Podcasting: How to Make a Video Podcast

467803874 0ac8719e07 m Podcasting: How to Make a Video Podcast
by Scott Beale

Although Apple had nothing to do with the podcasting technology, the iPod and podcasting quickly became linked. With the advent of the iPod Video, podcasting entered a whole new level. Now, more than the usual audio broadcasts, aspiring film makers can also share their work with the world.


So how do you go about making your own video podcast? To make it easier on you, use a digital video camera. If you have an analog video camera, it is still possible to convert the footage to digital format but it adds another step to the process. So assuming you have a digital video camera, what do you do?


First, take great footage. Of course, making a film is not simply shooting. Create a concept and make it good. When you have finalized your ideas, it is time to shoot. When taking your shots, bear in mind your target media – the iPod. The small screen will not be able to display too many details so it is a good idea to get close when shooting. Do not use the wide-screen mode but use the standard mode instead. Optimize bandwidth and battery power by shooting several short segments instead of one full-length film. Edit! Small screen viewing will not show text clearly unless they are large enough. Also bear in mind that fast motion and high contrast might not show very clearly on the small screen.


Now that you have your video, it’s time to compress it. This needs to be done so that the video will be optimized for web and iPod viewing. There are different ways you can do this. If you have a MAC, it’s no big deal. You can compress and export your video using iMovie HD6 simply by clicking the following: FILE>Export>iPod>Share. It’s as easy as that – the software automatically converts the file and shares it on iTunes. For PC users, you can also use QuickTime Pro, version 7.0.3 or higher. Again, simply click Export > Using Quick Time Conversion. The resulting *.m4v file is the one you will upload to your web server. Other options are Sorenson Squeeze and Spasm Software’s Podner.


Describe or tag your movie. This is very important as all the information you supply will be the basis of searching later on. This is how your movie can be found and singled out, out of all the video podcasts out there. If you’re using the latest iMovie version, all you need to do is drag the file onto iTunes and click the Info Tab. Then enter the necessary information. You can also change the filename. For PC users, create an XML document. You can find a sample XML file at http://playlistmag.com/features/200…dcast/index.php. Just change the details to suit your movie. When this is done, all you need to do it upload your file to your web server.


Now what? Distribute! Let people know that your video podcast exists. You can do this in a variety of ways. To reach as many people as possible, submit your podcast to iTunes. You can also provide a URL for your podcast by including it in your blog. First create an RSS feed (www.feedburner.com is a good one) so that you can attach your video to your blog. Then create an entry in your blog and then place a link to your video. Of course, if you really want people to notice your work, you have to promote it. Go to websites such as www.podcastalley.com. Now wait for the world to discover the budding film maker in you.

Podcasting Tips

by sitemarca

Podcasting is a little known, but extremely effective way to advertise and to create a huge following. Very few people are actually utilizing this form of advertising. It can really help with building your list as well because people are able to subscribe to your podcast from many different resources such as iTunes. They can take their iPod with them anywhere they go such as on a walk, driving, shopping and so on. Anywhere they go, you can go with them! It’s also cost effective.

Many people are intimidated by the prospect of doing this form of advertising mainly because of the technical aspects of setting up a podcast and what to talk about. Actually it is a lot easier and more affordable than one might think. When I first learned about this form of advertising, I was actually surprised at how simple it really can be. If we can get past the initial intimidation factor and get started, it actually only takes about about 20 or so minutes per week, so it’s also time effective. Here are some tips on how to get started…

Follow These Steps

1. You need a microphone.
2. You need an audio recording program. Audacity is an excellent free program that you can use.
You can look it up on Google and download it for free.
3. You need a hosting account for your podcast. Just go to podomatic and they will host your podcasting account and actually give you a blog for your podcasting.

Happy podcasting!

Why Podcast?

211807093 02e8e12f3e m Why Podcast?
by Scott Matthewman

This has become an extraordinarily widespread medium for communicating with large numbers of folks via the internet. A logical next step within the progression of internet media, podcasting adds sound to what uncountable individuals were already writing, a development like the radio. Thus why podcast? What will this young medium give for the podcast producer, and what can it accomplish? What if a podcast becomes too widespread, without advertising could not bandwidth prices become outrageous? Will you make money podcasting?

Podcasts are a excellent medium for speaking to an audience directly, regardless of what the audience is. Podcasts will take the form of tutorials, discussions between interviewers and specialists, editorializing, and typically include music and alternative audio effects. If you do not have access to any sort of audio recording equipment, a podcast isn’t visiting be possible for you. In order to form yourself a podcast, you would like to be able to record yourself, edit those recordings, convert them to a file type playable on computers (mp3 or aiff), post them to a website, and most significantly, syndicate them via RSS. If you are doing not perceive how to try to to any of this you ought to do a little analysis to work out if podcasting is for you.

Therefore, if you’ve got the capability and a theme you’d like to podcast on, why not get started. Because of various podcast aggregators (the preeminent one being Apple’s iTunes) it is straightforward to place your product out there and create it on the market for an audience who might never have seen your web site before. This ease of access comes with a downside, on iTunes you’re fighting with lots of thousands of different podcasters for the ears of the scores of listeners. As a result of of this, you ought to be ready to attend awhile before the feed finally, if ever, takes off. It is necessary to keep up a daily update schedule despite this, since listeners often drift far from podcasts that claim to be bi-weekly, nonetheless only appear to be updated once a month.

But what if you are doing become successful, so successful after all that traffic from your website is beginning to price a lot of and more cash? There are a few options for the few during this position; none of them are necessarily happy choices. The first, and most blatant, is to add sponsors to your podcast, allowing firms some seconds of advertising time before, during, or after the podcast itself. This may be a source of some revenue, hopefully enough to cover bandwidth prices, however it can also be intrusive and disruptive, and when all, a lot of folks stopped being attentive to radio as a result of of the commercials. Another option is to change your hosting so that your RSS feed is linked to files on a free server, like those provided by blipmedia. Whereas this implies your bandwidth is safe, you’re currently linked permanently to a supplier you do not control. Additionally, the transition to a new RSS feed could disrupt your listeners.

Podcasting will be a source of revenue, but the format is still young and lacking developed business models. Some radio personalities have subscription based sales of podcasts, others have tried a pay per episode model. If you hope to create money in either of those fashions, it’s best to create certain you have the most effective podcast on whatever topic you select, and most significantly you need to have already got an audience. Furthermore, it takes a bit of technical savvy to implement such a payment system. Advertising, both on your web site and within your podcast, is a healthy way to receive some income, but only if you are obtaining enough traffic. At the instant, podcasting is a young medium and not a smart means that for profit. In time, this might modification, but for currently, podcasts represent a probability for anyone to talk to millions.
