Hi,
Only managed to access podcasts now, as (still) no broadband at home and only a short window at work. So I have a few questions...
1) Is .avi the normal format for a podcast? I'm only downloading radio podcasts, so the video consists of a picture? Or is it set by the station that's producing it?
2) If it is the normal format, any recommendations on software to rip out the audio to mp3 or wma?
3) Any recommendations for any podcasts, while the work window is open?
I wouldn't have thought I was so dumb with regard to technology, but I've managed to miss the last 6 years developments it seems, and I'm blaming the lack of broadband rather than getting older!

Macy, I spose I didn't fully answer your question, its relative to the site. For example BBC use mp3. I have listened to dunphys podcasts and they are mp3 also. But its horses for courses. From any i have downloaded they have all been mp3, but I don't beleive it is set in stone that says "all podcasts must be of mp3 type format".
What does it matter what format it is anyhow? If you want a different format simply convert it. If you want converter software let me know. Its also easy to rip audio from movies, freecorder is a good example.
Edit: just realised i may be mis-interpreting your question. Do you know the difference between avi and mp3? And obviouslly teh difference between an audio and a/v podcast?

So it must be the software then, as it's the BBC stuff is coming in as .avi. Yeah, point me in the right direction for the converter software, please? Any recommendations for software (not itunes) for downloading the podcasts that has some flexibility over the format, as ZENcast obviously doesn't.

I think I have this sorted now.
