Do you move them to your ipod after downloading or is it you listen to them online live on your ipod?

A podcast is just a buzzword meaning a regularly posted downloadable mix. They run them like shows, you set up a little program that feeds you the files on a regular basis.

It is just a series of downloadable musis, that is all a podcast is, I dont really see why everyone needs to start using this silly gimmicky word, its not like it is some revolutionary new concept.

I admitt is just a fashion word now, but that's because the ipod was the best sold gadget of 2005. In combination with iTunes it's a nice way to get music automatically.

goofy vain meaningless fashion words.

I refuse to say the word podcast in a verbal conversation, it sounds so friggin stupid. Ipods are pretty awesome, I want to own one and I think things like itunes are the future, but I also forsee a future where there are more choices available than just the ipod, where the word podcast will lead to more confusion.

Why not just call them downloads? or series? or RSScast? or syndicast? An audio show without a radio station that uses downloads instead, there has to be a better word to use for such a thing than "podcast", ipods cannot receive any kind of transmission without optional accesories, saying podcast makes people think that they need to have an ipod to listen to the thing when all they really need is a computer.

I feel that the music we listen to on this site is a rejection of popular fashion, and thus should also reject the use of such fashion words. If we are truely forward thinking we wouldn't perpetuate the use of such backward ass words like podcast.

Joachim Garraud's Ze Mixx is a quality podcast

So true.
I think I get that question 100 times a day, since I started this 10 weeks ago.
People don't even bother to check the mixes out, cause they don't own a ipod.

Unfortunatelly there is nothing I can do about it. I have to use the name podcast now.
