Apple says the next version of its iTunes will give people a way to find and subscribe to podcasts. Nice. Podcasts are downloadable "radio shows" that can be created and listened to by anyone with the right equipment. Listeners subscribe to shows for free, the latest of which is sent automatically to digital music players. Free programs have been built to do this already, but now Apple says iTunes will have this function built in. "With the next version of iTunes, due within 60 days, there will now be an easy way for everyone to find and subscribe to podcasts", Apple said in a statement. Apple chief Steve Jobs was demonstrating the functionality at a technology conference in the US. The demo showed how the program lets people access, organise and sync-up podcasts to any digital music player. Including this functionality into iTunes opens up the possibility of selling podcasts, just like music. [BBC News]
