That just shortens the attention span and makes it available for people who can't bear listening to two hours of music straight and want to hear, you know, the best Armin has to offer. It's like a ing summary of a football match. |

:conf: |
I believe this is more of a re-cap of tracks that he played. Not the entire two hours. I could be wrong though... |

nothing in particular against ASOT here, since loads of shows do it. but just about every major internet radio show out there gets recorded & shared online anyway, and in this case, why would people bother with 'highlights' when they can just grab the full thing & flick through it?
it does seem purely a buzzword thing.. for people who've only discovered mp3s/ipods in the past two years |
Podcasting is extremely useful for people who take advantage of RSS to aggregate their constantly updating data. If I had to manually go out and find/download the 20+ shows I watch/listen or the 100+ blogs I read, I'd go completely insane. ;)
Learn the technology. It's more than just a buzzword. ;] |

Not really. Apparently you still need to spam it just like any other show. |

I guess you don't understand how data aggregation or RSS works. It's ok, a lot of other people don't either. People are slow to adapt. :)
Do you manually go to a website, even it is has RSS, to see if there is any new content? If so, you have a lot more time on your hands than I do. ;] |

Thanks for the patronising comment, but we're not all idiots. Luckily you seemed to get my well hidden message in my previous comment. |

Good job assuming that I'm calling you names. :rolleyes: You didn't provide any support for your comment by agreeing that it's just a buzzword. When it clearly has practical use, especially for power users who can't keep up with hundreds of sources, or people who don't have enough time in the day to do so. |

| You seemed to provide the support just fine all by yourself :) |

God I hope no one can ever describe me as a "power user."
The language of the 80's is making a comeback folks. Look alive. |
