Introduction
There is much talk about Podcasts, although their meaning is not always clear.The term POD refers generically to a portable audio player (iPod, mobile phone or MP3 player), while BROADCAST means the distribution of audio/video content in program format to a wide audience. Therefore, PODCAST is the on-demand distribution of programs and content in MP3 format to portable players.
AudiCast Module
The AudiCast control fully automates the three stages required to create a radio program in Podcast format:- Records the program in MP3, from the opening promo until the closing audio.
- A single MP3 file is generated for each program broadcast during the day.
- Automatically transfers these files to the Internet publishing server.
- Creates a link on the radio station’s website, so listeners can:
- Download the program to their portable players.
- Listen to it directly from the web at their preferred time.
- Schedule reruns of successful programs.
- Cover host vacations.
- Use these recordings as legal copies, safeguarding all content broadcast on air.
