    So what do you think.. now that iTunes is going to support podcasting, are the other programs still going to have a place?

    I think it’s great for podcaster. 70% of all MP3 downloads come from iTunes. Think of the exposure podcaster will get.

    Think of this folks. There are still an amazing number of people that have no idea what Podcasting is - still to this day.

    This can only help to introduce those uninformed masses to the joy of Podcasting. (Humm… Joy of Sex, Joy of Podcasting. There is a tag line in there somewhere.)

    Well yes, obviously it’s good for listeners.

    What I meant was… do you think ipodderx will have a reason to exist in 6 months or however it takes 4.9 to come out.

    It’s still unclear how iTunes will function as a podcatching client. There are some indications that only “approved” podcasts will be listed with iTunes, leading some to assume only select podcasts can be accessed with the product.

    And I tunes is not an RSS reader. Sure, it’s a simple matter to add in some code to have it scan RSS 2.0 files for tags, but it’s another matter all together to create a “reader” interface to view show notes and comments.

    iTunes is at its core an audio download tool. Podcatching clients are more than that. And six months is a _very_ long time in podcasting.

    I guess I’m one of the weird folks that went out of my way to find a program that wasn’t an RSS reader to use to get files. ;)
    My ideal, actually, would have been if my mp3 player program would have just added a plugin to get the files for me.

    If only I liked iTunes in even a small way…
