» What is Podcatcher Software?

If you’re going to start podcasting, then you need to know what Podcatcher software (also called a podcasting client) is so you can tell your visitors about it (and you may find it a handy tool).

Basically, podcatcher software is an application that downloads and organizes podcasts.

This tool gets the audio file from the feed to your MP3 player virtually automatically. There is generally a url that corresponds to the RSS feed you’re interested in. You copy and paste this url in your podcatcher. From there, the podcatcher updates the feed file every time a new podcast file is available for download.

A podcatcher is a media aggregator. It allows you to select and download audio (and video) files anywhere on the internet to your desktop. Once you select a feed (like yoursite.com….) it will download new files automatically at the times you specify. The files will be waiting for you on your computer. They will be added to your library.

The podcatcher software only downloads new files added to the feeds. When it gets a new podcast file, it puts it in a directory on your computer. You then copy these over to your MP3 player (you can even have it set up to do this completely automatically while your recharging it). No waiting for downloads. No manually selecting the feeds. The podcasts will all be ready for you to play when you want to hear them. You use a player (like iTunes or Quicktime) or load them to your iPod to play whenever you want.

I’m sure you’re starting to see how convenient this is for clients (and for you). That’s why the podcast phenomenon is only just beginning.
