Now appearing in iTunes, the Savvy Technologist Podcast
August 4th, 2005 | by Tim Wilson |Well I’m really official now. I submitted my podcast to Apple’s iTunes yesterday and it is now available. (Just do a search for “savvy technologist” to find it.) I know that most of you who are subscribed to my podcast at this point are probably just subscribing to my entire RSS feed and letting your podcast aggregating software pull out the audio enclosures. In an effort to track my podcast subscriptions more closely I created an account at Feedburner and am publishing a podcast-only feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/technosavvy/podcast. If you’ve subscribed to my podcast via the old feed address, please consider resubscribing using the new Feedburner one. It will really help me find out how many people are listening.
You can also find my podcat at Odeo. Odeo is one of the many upstate companies that is attempting to gain a foothold in the podcasting market. They are developing a browser-based tool called Odeo Studio for recording and publishing podcasts that looks pretty interesting. That could be a real step forward in the ease of use department, but time will tell.
Enough talk about podcasting, it’s time to make one. Stay tuned.

Hi - I’m totally new at the blog thing - and not sure if this is the right way to get and answer, but I thought you looked like the right blog to ask…
Hope you can help….
I’m after the Moby Itunes originals Album… should be easy to down load I thought through itunes (mac user here)….
One problem, I’m and Australian based in germany…
So no “visa billing address” in USA… AND - it simply defaults me to the German itunes which doesn’t have it.
I am more than willing to be legal to get my hands on this album - BUT HOW???
Have I missed something in tunes purchase???
Hope you can help, N.

Natalie, I wish I could offer a solution, but I’m afraid you might be out of luck. Your only recourse might be to find a friend who lives where the iTunes store is accessible, have him or her get the album for you, and then convert it to a standard CD format which could be re-ripped and imported into your iTunes. The hurdle you’ll have to overcome, in addition to access to the iTMS, is the digital rights management included in the iTunes songs that are purchased from the iTMS. DRM is a tricky thing and, unfortunately, in the effort to protect copyright holders from illegal copying many legitimate users are left out in the cold or reduced to “shady” methods of getting access to content that they legally purchased.
