How's about an ILM podcast via del.icio.us?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Over at http://del.icio.us, if you tag a wav or an mp3 file with "ilm", I (or anyone else, I guess) can subscribe to http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:media:audio+ilm and be exposed to the music that you wish to subject me (or us) to. Upload stuff to a server and link that if you want. A damn won't be given. Do it for me, do it for the greater good; just do it because I want to hear some new music.

Shit! I never thought that that could be used for podcasting random mp3s. That's AWESOME MANG.

It'd probably be better to use "for:ilm" instead of "ilm" as the tag, but whatever.

Nevermind that.

I don't get it; isn't "podcasting" just some bullshit buzzword euphemism for "uploading your crap to a server"??

― Michael Burble, Thursday, 14 July 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm feeling awfully transparent today, so herewith my stupid plea:

Can someone dumb it down and explain podcasting to me?

It's exactly what i said in my previous post. it's just some buzzword shit that means exactly the same thing

Podcasting - A DIY radio show that you can download to your iPod and listen to anytime.

Michael, you are an idiot.

Alex, podcasting lets you put and RSS feed with links to media files in it. A podcast client can "subscribe" to it and download new editions of a program (or whatever) that you can listen to at your leisure.

WFMU has a number of good ones.

jon williams (*stifled guffaw*) is calling me an idiot. well, glad to see ya haven't stepped out of the irony box yet, kid. aren't you the guy who gangrapes sheep with your friends?

― Michael Burble, Thursday, 14 July 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Gang rape is two words.

Wikipedia's article is pretty good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting

Gang rape is two words

oh my bad! so, you wanna talk this podcasting thing over a couple milkshakes and a golf game? i'll pick you up in my private chopper at 4pm EST.

This idea isn't exactly podcasting, but it's close enough. You don't have to upload anything to a server (though you can if you want). You just have to make a del.icio.us bookmark of an mp3 or a wav file that you find on the internet, tag it with "ilm", and that'll be all you have to do to have people be able to download it automatically.

For you to download it automatically, you'll have to use a podcast program to check that URL every so often. I'm using iTunes just because it's easier for my iPod. I haven't looked, but I'm pretty sure that there're a number of podcasting programs for Windows, Mac, and Linux that'll work for numerous mp3 players.

Cheers, Jon.

(Alex, instead of starting a blog, why not start a podcast of your favorite tracks with commentary?)

Thank you for clarifying that gang rapes has two words...I was confused by trying to figure out what the root word of gangrapes was...was it related to gangrene? Were there grapes involved?

I recently downloaded the new iTunes (4.9, I think), complete with podcasting stuff...what more do I need to do to be able to access other podcasts? I am admittedly under-utilizing my iPod. Let the scorn begin...

The iTunes Music Store has a directory of them. You can check that. If you find a podcast elsewhere online that you'd like to access, copy the link, then subscribe to it using "Subscribe to Podcast..." under the Advanced menu in iTunes. You can tell iTunes how often to download them and what to do with them once they're downloaded in iTunes's preferences.

Anyone have any recommendations on some great music podcasts? I thought I read in Wire a few months back that Steve Jones's show (Jonesy's Jukebox) was offered as a podcast. But now I can't find it anywhere.
If you have kids, check out "The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd," which you can also get via iTunes. Each episode is about 5 minutes long; my kids are addicted.

Podcasts are pretty fun to do!

I've got one on dance music over on The Stycast, which is Stylus' revolving set of podcasts from staff members.

For a second there I thought shanecavanaugh was going to link to the wikipedia entry for "Gang raping sheep".

Shane Cavanaugh is two words, actually.

`Cuz I'm too dumb to figger out howta do it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, what is the easy way to do a podcast? where do you store it?

― Baaderonixx chez les Belges (Fabfunk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:22 (twenty years ago)

The only podcast I have ever listened to was one of William B Sywgart's on The Stycast. Thoroughly enjoyable, but I can scarcely find time to listen to all my new music, let alone 30+ minutes speech-and-music MP3s.

I doubt this will stop me doing one of my own in time, though; the ego-trip is too great to resist.

Interesting idea re. the del.icio.us tags. HOWEVER, the ilm tag is also being used by people to bookmark ILM threads, as this link shows.

My suggestion is to tag things with "ilm" AND "podcast". Which will result in something like this.

A note of caution: many, if not most MP3 bloggers quite understandably dislike people hotlinking directly to their MP3s, so there are some delicate etiquette issues involved.
