Poptimist Podcast Plea

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

As suggested by tehNipXoR (below). If anyone did a "here are the hot new poptimist sounds" i would totally get this. it is easier for me to listen to a podcast than radio. in fact i DO listen to more podcasts than radio.

i reckon something like 40-60 seconds of songs banged together (i think they call it "mixed"???) inexpertly would more than satisdy me - perhaps with a "DJ voice over of the info" if you must (tho computer generated speaking would be fine) and we could put the info in the RSS feed proper anyway (which i know on my iPod you can read while listening)

I think FT could afford to publish the mp3 files and RSS feed needed.

***update***
sod it, if there are other people out there who would at least listen to a poptimist podcast, i am hereby volunteering to put it together. Given a load of mp3s from various sources it would take me mere mins to join em together and update an RSS feed on FT. This could be great - given an audience who wants it :-(

do you have an mp3 playa? the thing wot organises the mp3 playlist on your playa (these days) has the facility not just to add simple traXoR but also add a URL (like a web address for a web site) of a "podcast".


the playlist organising thing (like iTunes or whatevah) checks these URLs for recent updates. if there are updates they include a link to an mp3 which it dutifully downloads to yr mp3 playa along with some info from the URL about the mp3

it's automated regularaly updated audio content that magically appears on your mp3

innit

Ah. No I have no MP3 player. I am quite backwards. I am unable to download anything, as I can't do it at work, and can't really listen or watch anything online either. The modern world is passing me by.

Question as yet unanswered: do other mp3 players on yr computer do this automagically? Cos iTunes is a bazillion shades of wack and I refuse to have it anywhere near my work computer.

I have never understood what people have against iTunes and it's warm glowing warming glow.

yes i like iTunes as well. as long as you don't let it get it's way re organising your collection it's wunderbrah.

I don't know the details now, but there are many programs out there that let you subscribe to podcasts (which simply means monitor and d/l new ones when published).

And what's being d/l-ed is just a long MP3, so whatever yr player of choice is (portable or on yr computer) should work.

you can download other podcast player thingies such as juice (which I have), type the feed into there, and scan for new podcasts. then shove it on yer mp3wotsit and yer done
