Abstract
Improved podcasts and techniques that facilitate their use are disclosed. The improved techniques can pertain to creating, publishing, hosting, accessing, subscribing, managing, transferring, and/or playing podcasts.

According to still another aspect, podcast feeds can be enhanced to include segment elements and other metadata.
