What is Podcasting? Songsalive! announces the introduction of a special PODCAST which you hear as you enter our website - delivering you the best songs from our Elite Members' catalog of music. If you don't know what "podcasting" is, don't worry! You're not the first to ask. Podcasting is a new trend, and there are a lot of people who haven't heard of it or don't know exactly what it is. Basically, podcasting is like blogging, but with audio. ("Blogging," which stands for "web logging," means maintaining a web-based journal). Podcasting s a combination of: - a new capability for listeners not only to download an audio file (MP3) from the internet, but to subscribe to receive future audio files from the same source or "channel," and - a growing trend of amateur DJs creating their own "radio shows" as giant MP3 files published on the internet, including both music and talk. Podcasting is very significant for independent music for several reasons. First, it has fueled the rise of amateur DJs who are helping ordinary consumers discover music that they might never otherwise hear on the radio, These amateur DJs help level the playing field for all musicians. Second, podcasting also allows consumers to "subscribe to a band" and receive future material (or messages) from that band -- just as if the band had their own radio station. Third, podcasting addresses a new generation of youth - "Generation i" - who don't own radios or CD players, but who own computers and iPods. For this new generation, podcasting is what FM radio has been to past generations. Read gilli moon's article on Podcasting
