I hear what you are saying regarding the whole deal with iTunes and podcasting. Impressed I am not.
As you stated above, there is nothing grassroots about this whatsoever, this is a mistake on Apple's part.

You say you don't feel like converting your WMA files to another proprietary format. I don't blame you, why not just convert them to mp3? They will play in iTunes, Win Media Player, and a slew of others. Gosh, I bet they even play on Ponzi's shuffle!

I'm curious – what do you mean “she's had problems getting it to work like the Windows Media Player”? How so?

Have no fear, grasroots folks like us will carry the medium. Obviously any time there's something new out their, corporations will try to make some money at doing it.
One scenario I see working is if Disney lets employees do an employee podcast, or ESPN lets the producers or back stage folks have a stab at a podcast, and not just on air paid talent. That is how podcasting can keep its “Grassrootsness”
I agree though, Apple did the medium a huge favor by getting this into iTunes quickly.

Good for you (seriously). I’ll also stick with Vista… in a VMware virtual machine on my Mac OS X desktop. Related Content: What is Proprietary? Power Cable Adapter Choices Narcissistic DriveliGotta Thank iTunesGaming Console Wars
