What is podcast and how to create it? Well, the concept is quite simple...you must upload MP3 files to any FTP server, then create a RSS file (a special, standardized XML file) pointing to these files. When you publish the RSS file, you give access to your music to everyone (RSS reader, a web page, a program or portable device, such as iPod). But First you will have to setup a hosting / FTP account, but that's another story.
The fact is that such process can be a little bit complicated for a non-technical user, who barely know what "MP3" means. So this program is intended to give him a hand in "podcasting".
The user interface of Podifier is Wizard driven, so you only should follow 3 steps. First, you must specify some general information about your podcast (title, site url, feed description). Second, you select some music files (read the next paragraph!) and write the title and description for each file. Third, you specify your FTP account data to transfer the files, and...done!
Moreover, if you don't have an FTP account (or even Internet connection) you can still check the "Skip FTP" option, to save the xml file locally and upload your files later.
BUT, hold on my friend! Watch out when you select your files, DON'T PRESS THE "ADD" button!!! This way you will cause the program to crash (it's a major bug reported about), instead of this you drag your music files from the Windows Explorer or Desktop, and drop them into the list box to achieve the goal.
