iTunes 4.9

[Etc.]

iTunes.com hasn't been updated (yet), but it's available through Software Update!

Nothing great, though:

With iTunes 4.9, you can now browse and subscribe to podcasts from within the iTunes Music Store. Podcasts are frequently updated radio-style shows downloadable over the Internet. You can also transfer podcasts to iPod, for listening on the go.

Edit: iTunes.com has now been updated to reflect the new version :D

YES!

It is available as of now. I was trouble shooting my idisk and ran into it on the Software Update.

HURRAY! Going to test drive it now. :)

You can also transfer podcasts to iPod, for listening on the go.

[NetGX]

Choose audiobooks as the genre and then podcasts

[Objexxx]

Follow NetGX's instructions

I don't know if anybody knows what The Big Show is... but if anyone does, do you know if there's a podcast for it? I don't usually get to listen to it because of school (or during the summer, I just don't get up early enough). Thanks!

For those of you who can't see the Podcasts link, it's on the left-hand side of the main page of the Music Store, with a giant orange "new" button next to it :D

[shimq1]

Downloading, thanks for the news!

[GothTeddy]

very nice, listening to Le Show and downloading the Engadget back catalogue :)

[Brandon]

whats gonna change with version 5?

[Objexxx]

^^ Isn't Apple facing a lawsuit because some people are claiming they stole the interface for iTunes from them? Maybe a redesign of some sort? Who knows?

[andy2004]

its great to see apple finally embrace podcasts ! i love how you can either go to music store > select podcasts > subscribe to a podcast from the music store catalogue or u can choose the podcast section in itunes >> go to advanced > and subscribe to a podcast that way which is useful if like me you go to places like podcastalley :D

thanks to threadstarter for the heads up on this :)

[Galley]

Podcasts... Yawn... :sleep:

[Jesse Carlton]

ditto that...they already had podcasts for years...I think we called them radio

[tuqueelukee]

And yes, iTunes 4.9 does support putting in a URL for Podcasts not in the iTMS.
