Apple Computer Inc. on Tuesday rolled out a new version of its iTunes music store software that includes radio podcasting capabilities.
With iTunes 4.9 you can now browse, find, sample and subscribe to thousands of free podcasts - radio shows delivered over the Internet to your computer - then sync them to your iPod and listen anytime, anywhere writes Apple. The podcast directory will include podcasts from the likes of the BBC, Engadget, ABC News and ESPN. Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of applications, said Apple is trying to simplify how people listen to podcasts.
"Why did we get in on it? Podcasts are different than individual songs. There's been a lot of buzz going on, and we wanted to make it easier to listen to podcasts," Cue said.
Apple also merged the traditional white iPod line to contain two models of the music player, a 20-gigabyte version for $299 and a 60-gigabyte version for $399. Both will include color screens and can be used for viewing digital photos. Apple will no longer sell the 30-gigabyte version of the iPod photo.
