myPodder on an iPod

Two people asked me yesterday how to install myPodder onto their iPod so that they could download their subscriptions from work (where they are not allowed to install any software). So I decided to make a quick little tutorial showing how to do it. Its not hard, and it doesn't mess up any content that you have already put on there (or will put on there) through iTunes.



Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

iPod and U3 Users of myPodder get an upgrade

Recently we've upgraded our myPodder^TM to 1.6.5. A few minor bugs have been fixed and the iPod support has been greatly improved. For instance, when you now connect your iPod to any computer (Win, OSX, or Linux) it correctly places the content in the "podcast" section of your player and calculates that playing time for all those off-the-wall bit rates properly.

U3 devices also now have an upgrade. For those of you that are not aware of U3, its a technology that enables thumb drives to run U3-compliant applications right from the drive without installing anything on the host computer.

So you can take your Firefox, instant messenger, and Open Office applications with you where ever you go.

Interestingly enough, we've seen a huge amount of uptake from the U3 community since we won their application design contest back in June. It seems that even though a large portion of the podcast audience listens to podcasts at their desk, they really like the idea of having their content in one location (their U3 drive) and listening to (and managing) that content from whatever computer they happen to be at.
