Podcast Software
There are many podcast software programs available touse. Many of them are even free. Because of thedecentralized, geek adopted nature of podcasting, awide variety of programs are available, from largeprograms with a big footprint that do many differentjobs to tiny little software packages that do the bareminimum. A package is available for podcastsubscribers of almost any type, and more are beingcreated everyday.
While some podcast software is designed for home usercomputers, much of it is designed to be used online.There are many packages created so that feedsubscribers can view the podcasts they enjoy fromwithin a web browser. These software packages containboth the feed reader like the home user software does,but usually also incorporate a way to view or listen tothe podcasts online from inside the browser. Much ofthis software is used at the podcast directories thatmaintain listings of podcast feeds.
Another type of online podcast software is the categoryof feed creators. PHP scripting is usually used to createthe RSS file that tells the feed readers where todownload the podcasts from. The scripting can eithercreate a hard copy of the RSS file and write it to theserver disk when the feed is updated, or it can make itvirtually. When the RSS file is generated virtually, itdoesn't actually exist on the host's server. Instead, theaddress of the PHP script is distributed as the address ofthe feed. When the script is accessed, it generates thefile by looking at the recent posts at the site and sendsthe results to the feed subscriber.
