itunes 4.9 - podcasting made simple

June 28, 2005

i just checked software update and itunes 4.9 popped out. the major feature in this release is itunes’ ability to manage podcasts.

so far i’m liking the podcast features. it’s really easy to subscribe to podcasts via the itunes music store. so far all the ones i’ve seen have been free. i immediately subscribed to engadget (one of my daily reads) and espn radio podcasts. itunes 4.9 allows uesrs to post their podcasts via the itunes music store.

i haven’t seen anything on apple’s site yet, but i’m sure it’ll be all over the place by the time the west coast wakes up. i wonder how the podcasting software makers will respond to this. i love competition with software because in the end, it only makes the software better.

killer feature: chapters. i’m not sure how people can make their podcasts all compatible with this, but they should. it’s pretty nice:
