Podcasting

Podcasting allows you to subscribe to feeds, which include links to audio programs. Every time one of your subscriptions posts a new program, it will automatically download onto your computer. You can then transfer those shows to a portable music device (such as your Radio YourWay LX), listen to it throughout your house via a wireless connection and take it with you wherever you go. Essentially, it’s a personalized radio station that you can program and change whenever you want.

If you’re interested in using your Radio YourWay LX for listening to Podcasts, we suggest you begin by visiting the following websites:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast – Provides an excellent overview of the history and terms involved in podcasting.

http://www.ipodder.org/ – Here, you will find the software you need to subscribe to podcasts. Click on the “Download iPodder” link, choose your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc ... ), and download the software. There are several “aggregator” programs to choose from, but we recommend iPodder. It’s free, easy to use, and works with any computer.

http://www.podshow.com/ – Podshow.com is just one of the websites that lists different programs that are available for podcast.

Once you have downloaded your podcasting software (aggregator) and subscribed to a few podcasts, you can drag and drop your podcasts into your Radio YourWay LX
