Podcasting Site

I read the podcasting site by Yahoo recommended by another student early this morning before work. This site contains information about podcasts as well as information about searching for podcasts, what the folks at Yahoo like, top 100 lists, and popular tags. The site recommends Audacity sound recording software to make your own podcast and the LAME MP3 encoder. Yahoo has a free web hosting service, Yahoo! Geocities. It also has directions to make your podcast available to others. Since I don't yet have webpage development skills I am not sure how it works. However, the Yahoo! Geocities Tutorial claims to have all the tools you need to build a dynamic site.

I have found podcasting to be really interesting and I enjoy listening to podcasts saved on my Creative MP3 player while traveling. I will try to make a podcast over the holidays.

I downloaded the podcasting search engine to my Yahoo Music Unlimited software and now can add additional podcasts to my audio only MP3 player with ease.

The brief description on Google states that Audacity is a free, open souce software for recording and editing sounds in Linux, Mac OS X, and other operating systems. LAME MP3 is an educational tool to be used fo learning about MP3 encoding. LAME aims to be the bais of a patentn free audio compression codec.
