Now that Channel 9 is podcasting the videos, I wanted to listen to the audio portion on my Nomad IIc. So I've built an application that my fellow C9ers may find useful. It watches a folder for new WMV files, extracts the audio (it chooses the highest bitrate audio if there's more than one stream), and adds it to the WMP or iTunes library. So, you can have the video podcasts sync to a device automatically just like audio podcasts. Here's where you can download it.

I think I would keep using this even if Channel 9 offers a separate XML feed with just the audio, because this way I don't have to download both of them.

C9 podcasts the videos? How did I miss this? Well it doesn't really matter until I actually get an iPod. But I will download and store the Podcasts until I do get one.

Doppler will let you aggregate audio and video enclosures including Channel 9 or any other podcast, etc to pretty much ANY device. For windows, it works great to use it to "talk" to Windows Media Player 10, which can easilly sync content with/to your media device, be it an MP3 player, portable media center, or whatever.

I use doppler to grab Channel 9 videos, as well as to get MP3 podcasts (or WMA if available) to synce to my Rio Carbon, every day.

iPod not required. Note that the term "podcast" is a misnomer for sure - it has nothing to do with iPod devices themselves. Any MP3 player will do.

Or if you are nto using any portable player, you can just store them on your computer and listen/watch there without using a portable device. It will automatically add the new items to a playlist for you.

>> I don't have an ipod Sad

This is the problem with the term "podcasting" ugh.

You don't need one. Podcasting is nothing special, it's just normal RSS 2.0 feeds with attachments called "enclosures" (like a MP3 file for example) that you can subscribe to and download the content.

See my link above to Doppler. It's free, in heavy development for the next version (which will be great) and works very well.

The term "Podcasting" is unfortunate. Are we stuck with it? Maybe, unless Apple sues Adam Curry.

As far as I know, every podcast app can fetch videos, but they can't put them on your *audio* device (iPod or otherwise). So I'm just filling this gap.
