iTunes 4.9 To Support Podcasting

Posted by Hemos on Monday May 23, 2005 @02:05AM from the well-of-course-it-will dept.

WaRrK writes "O'Reilly Radar are reporting that in a demo at D: All Things Digital Conference, Steve Jobs showed off iTunes 4.9, which has support for iPodder like functionality. Although, he was "slightly" dismissive of the phenomena, describing it as "Wayne's World for radio". Also, whilst currently only supporting free content, they are not ruling out paid for podcasting in the future. iTunes 4.9 should be available within 60 days." Yeah, Steve's kinda right on this - podcasting is neat & all, but the breathy overstatement of how it will change our lives is a wee bit overdone.

What?!?

New music got to my hard drive via:-

1. As you say, ripping from a CD from my collection (but not using iTunes, its ripper is quite poor).

2. By using another legitimate music store i.e. Napster/Yahoo/etc.

3. By myself or a friend actually making some tracks

4. By downloading some perfectly legally free music tracks

And party shuffle, a decent enqueue system? Seriously?

The only thing I would call that heap of shit is a mess of a random playlist, NOT in any way, shape or form a vaguely useable enqueue system.
