What Is Podcast Client Software?

The portion of podcast software that is used at the customer's end is generally referred to as among other things podcast client software and it is in fact also called by various other terms as well including podcatching software and podcatching client as too podcatcher. Podcasting, as you may or may not be aware of, is the act of both publishing as well as consuming podcasts though it must be emphasized that both these aspects to podcasting are distinct and really very different.

Main Task

The main task of good podcast client software is to first check for any newly created podcasts that may be present in every podcast RSS feed and to then download files to the subscriber's desktop or personal computer. In addition, good podcast client software should be able to also synchronize the files so that they can be used on a portable audio device. These are basically the main functions that podcast client software must perform.

Other than these functions podcast client software must also have other capabilities including to affect download scheduling as well as to automatically add files to the subscriber's playlist of favorite programs. In addition, the podcast client software should ensure completing tagging (automatic) for any new files that are to be downloaded and the software must also be able to organize media files in libraries of files. Other than these functions, podcast client software must also do some disk management such as deleting unwanted files.

Because podcast feeds are really nothing but extended versions of existing RSS formats it has led to the more popular feed readers having to be upgraded so as to also have the ability to take care of podcatching.

It certainly pays to also learn more about the more popular podcatching software that are being made available on the market today. Some of the better among this software include the likes of HappyFish that is free podcast client software that does the automatic synchronization of podcasts. Then there is FeedStation which is an application that is part of the desktop RSS news reader called FeedDemon.

Finally, you should learn more about iTunes that is the most popular of all media players being used on desktops. For good free podcasting software check out the one that is known as YamiPod that is very efficient software that works well for Mac OS X users who need to manage their iPods. It also works with Windows platform and also with Linux and is easy to use and it in fact does not even require that you install it on your computer because you can run it straight off your iPod.
