Time-Shifting For The iPod

depechemodem writes "This story at ExtremeiPod talks about a new piece of software from Adam Curry called iPodder (now at Sourceforge) which uses RSS feeds with MP3 enclosures to stream audio to iTunes. The best part is that those streams can be saved as clips automatically on to your iPod or other MP3 player for later listening making this the first portable time-shifted Internet audio application. The code is alse being ported to Windows."

Wow, Adam Curry

[krog]

Good to see he's still in the music business. Does he still have that outrageous hair? And the acid-washed jeans?

This has to be one of the worst FPs ever...

Not only is it FAR FROM the FP... you just look like an idiot.

a whoosawhats it now?

time-shifted Internet audio application

So basically, using an RSS and MP3 wrapper, they've created the 21st century equivalent of a tape recorder hooked up to a radio...

Adam Curry / Neal Stephenson connection

This may be a bit offtopic, but does anyone remember Adam Curry's metaverse.com web site? He got that one after MTV took away mtv.com from him. This was way back in like 1993 or 1994. I believe he had just read 'Snow Crash'. Anyway, it's neat to see a celebrity become a geek (kind of like the pr0n star Asia Carerra!), but of course she looks better naked.

iPod by itself won't bypass the queue unless it also has the keywords 'Linux' or 'RSS' in it. Indeed this is some seriously lackluster stuff. It downloads a list of files and adds them to itunes. Presumably it will also sync it over to the iPod as well. An m3u could do the same thing if iTunes would support saving the URL. Still, sometimes simple apps like this can be among the most useful ones. At least they're not charging you $10 for it like most excessively tiny mac utilities.

Is there anything this VJ can't do?!

Time-shifting?

[Chuck Bucket]

When I first read that I got ideas of a Hitchhiker's Guide show. Who needs a towel anymore if you have an iPod!

(it's funny, try to laugh! ;))

Let me get this straight

[HarveyBirdman]

So "time-shifting" with my iPod does not imply time travel?

Shit.

I thought I could just hit the button and turn the volume control to skip back a few minutes.

You probably raise some good points in this post, but it's impossible for me to know because everytime I try to read it, an avalanche of vomit destroys my computer upon reading the phrase "female dog about it"

(posting without reading from my third computer)

Yes.. TimeShifting!

[scrubmuffin]

Another fricking buzzword. Gotta love 'em.

My website is now rendering multi tiered aggregate content to strategize user-centric metrics while orchestrating scalable synergies utilizing virtual timeshifted content.

Somebody buy me..
Please?

Re:What a load of garbage

Er, if it is recording NPR's Morning Edition, and you are listening to it on your morning commute, can't you, I don't know, turn on your radio like Grandpa used to and listen to it live?

Click away people, I need an iPod!

Dude, if you want a free iPod, just send me your bank account number and SSN. When I forward it my buddy the Prime Minister of Nigeria, he'll send you more than enough money to cover the cost of an iPod.

Adam Curry

[Anonymous Coward]

back in 1994-95 I had Adam Curry's email address and sent him a long email talking about how cool he was and how MTV did him wrong, how he was awesome on head bangers ball... basically glorifying him.

then at the bottom I added, "ps, you're a big fag"

it was awesome.

honestly though Adam is pretty cool.

How Come?

[SomeOtherGuy]

How come whenever anyone does anything trivial that has anything to do with an Ipod...that it is reported like world peace?

Recording streams have been around as long as streams themselves....I guess it was not a big deal until someone with an Ipod started recording streams.

Next we will read about "Ipod owner creates Hello World" and a "tetris clone".

Re:What can't the iPod do?

[PsychoSpunk]

if Apple just sold a computer for 600$ I think it would catch fire like the iPod has.

No, you're thinking of that other story [apple.com] posted on slashdot [slashdot.org]
