Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for podcasting content associated with a user account, the method comprising:
- aggregating, for a user with a digital media player, content of disparate data types from disparate data sources, wherein at least one of the disparate data types is a data format that cannot be rendered by the digital media player, and at least a portion of the content of disparate data types includes non-audio and non-video content;
synthesizing the aggregated content of disparate data types into a podcast capable of being rendered on the digital media player, wherein the synthesizing of the aggregated content of disparate data types into the podcast for rendering on the digital media player further comprisesselecting content for inclusion in the podcast;
extracting text from the selected content;
creating a media file; and
storing the extracted text of the selected content as metadata associated with the media file; and
providing the podcast for download from a URL.
