Podcasting defined
• “Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.”– Wikipedia
• “A podcast is a digital audio file (usually MP3 or AAC) made available for download on the internet through an RSS 2.0 feed. The web address of the media file is contained in the enclosure tag of an item in the XML file. The enclosure tag was added to the RSS 2.0 standard in 2004 making podcasting possible.”– http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/what-is-
a-podcast.htm

Two terms to know well
• Sample rate– Like frames of a movie– The higher the rate, the larger the file– 44.100 kHz is typical (set this before
recording)• Bit rate
– Amount of information processed per unit of time (bits/sec)
– Higher number is better, but larger file– 64 kbps for voice and double for music
