Zounds! Apple untethering podcasting at last!
According to MacRumors, Apple is FINALLY freeing podcasting from the constraints of iTunes and allowing podcasts to be downloaded over the air.
This is a big, big deal, and a change we’ve been waiting for in the podcasting community forever.
The new iTunes Store screenshots confirm that Apple will be delivering over-the-air downloads for both video and audio podcasts. According to Schimanke, podcast downloads will be limited to episodes less than 10MB in size when using the cellular network.
Podcasters - better have at least a few items under 10 MB in your feed. If you roll your own MP3 encoder using LAME (as I do) this shouldn’t be a big deal, as you can just specify a target size. If you use someone else’s encoder, like iTunes, you’ll need to fiddle around with settings to find the best quality for 10 MB of audio or less.
Apple has not indicated when firmware 2.2, which contains this upgrade, will go live, but it’s in beta now.
