Ever thought of putting your tunes on a site, with an RSS feed to let people know when you have new ones. This latest "big thing", basically an audio weblog, is called podcasting. It is simply making an audio recording, posting it on a website then telling everyone about it through RSS. Check out http://ipodder.org for more details.
I'm half thinking of putting one together myself but I never liked the sound of my voice recorded and I'm not sure enough of my equipment for recording my fiddle yet. http://ipodder.org has a directory of podcasts which they offer control of a sub-set of. I notice that there is no ITM section up there. Anyone know of or interested in putting something like this out there?
I've put some tunes on my tunes learning site, but I only can (as yet) inform visitors of new tune additions when they visit the site. (I could auto-email session members, but it wouldn't be a fair thing to do, it would p*ss people off, and Jeremy might set his angle-grinder on me. Again!
Hi Jim,
I've seen your site and think its a great idea. I've been meaning to practice a couple of the tunes there myself. Auto-emailing is definitely a bad idea but the beauty of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is that someone uses an aggregator (www.bloglines.com is a free web-based one I use) to manage their subscriptions. As far as I know, all you need to do on your website is have a file in the right RSS format that anyone subscribed to will know when you change it. That's all there is to it! No one complain about spam as they are actively subscribed to it. Even if they have an Anglo-Irish grinder
Special note to Jeremy, posting it here as it might be relevant to others : when I update the tunes comments section with the URLs (web locations) of my tunes, will I have to re-do them all when I get my permanent domain name?

Re: Podcasting
A raise of the pint glass to Mr. Dorans' learning page! Jim, I can't believe how slow you've made those tunes. Nice work.
