Audioville/Audible vs. iTunes/Podcasting I’m browsing through Audioville, a British download service for
spoken-word MP3 products. There’s good stuff there, but I find myself dissing paid-for spoken-word audio, simply

pretty good. It is simply more fun to browse through iTunes 4.9’s podcast genre—and naturally, it’s more fun to get
stuff for free. As podcasting quickly becomes more professional (it is happening very fast), and iTunes

distributes through iTunes via the iTMS) will increasingly be in trouble.
