Time-Shifting For The iPod

Posted by timothy on from the tivo-needs-no-separate-pc dept.

depechemodem writes "This story at ExtremeiPod talks about a new piece of software from Adam Curry called iPodder (now at Sourceforge) which uses RSS feeds with MP3 enclosures to stream audio to iTunes. The best part is that those streams can be saved as clips automatically on to your iPod or other MP3 player for later listening making this the first portable time-shifted Internet audio application. The code is alse being ported to Windows."

  1. I should care because... ? by plinkyplonkypk · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Great:

    1. So I can let someone use their website to automatically fill my ipod with crap ?

    2. I couldn't just download the MP3 and put it in iTunes ? Is that really such a huge task ? Takes like 20 seconds at most, after downloading..

    Seriously, have I missed something ? Otherwise.. Nothing to see here....

    ...apart from the "Apple!" and "iPod!" headlines?

    Seriously, I'm surprised that Steve Jobs can still sh1t given all the slashdotters clambering up his pipe.
