Audible customers can now use personal Audible RSS feeds for up-to-date delivery of their Audible content .
Audible has announced that its selection of periodic audio content can now be delivered to customers via secure Really Simple Syndication (RSS).
Audible customers can schedule automatic delivery of their periodic programming to their computers and to any one of more than 135 AudibleReady handheld devices.
Audible customers can still receive their periodic programs through Audible's current delivery methods, but now have the additional option to use personal Audible RSS feeds for up-to-date delivery of their Audible content simply by installing software that supports the delivery of podcasts, such as iPodder, Doppler, NewsGator Online, FeedDemon or NetNewsWire.
The periodic content distributed by Audible today includes: BBC News Hour, Car Talk, Charlie Rose, C-SPAN, Fast Company, Forbes Magazine, Fresh Air, JazzTimes, Harvard Business Review, Latino USA, Marketplace, MSNBC, News from Lake Wobegon, Scientific American, Science News, Technology Review, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The World, This American Life, and To the Best of Our Knowledge.
"We've been delivering digitally downloadable spoken audio to hundreds of thousands of listeners for many years now.
During this time, we have continually looked for advancements in digital audio technology that would improve our listeners' experience," said Donald Katz, CEO and chairman of Audible Inc. "We believe podcasting is an advancement that will make digital spoken audio more accessible and manageable for content creators and listeners around the world."
"There are three companies that have the potential to be huge in podcasting and in creating this new medium," said Adam Curry, creator of iPodder and host of Daily Source Code.
"We've only just begun the process of enabling content partners of all sizes to podcast on the Audible platform," Mr. Katz added.
"We welcome Audible's members who are interested in receiving their content through our online system and FeedDemon using 'FeedStation', and we're looking forward to offering NewsGator customers unique Audible offers too."
