iTunes 4.9 brings Podcasting
iTunes 4.9 was release sometime either last night or this morning and now features podcast subscriptions. It is so super easy, you can browse the store for podcasts in the same way that you browse for music. When you find something you like you simply hit "subscribe". You can customize how many shows you would like and best of all, you can tell iTunes how to clean up after itself so that old shows are removed as new shows are downloaded. Two great new podcasts are Adam Curry's new PodFinder where Adam plays snippits of other podcasts and Apple's New Music Tuesday podcast where new tunes and albums are introduced. Both take advantage of iTunes ability to display timecode triggered events that allow you to go straight to the podcast or album that you are listening to at that moment.
