ANN FAQ: So, What Is This Aero-Casting Thing?
Source: aero-news.net
 And How Do I Listen In?
If you've spent any time reading our site lately, you know how excited we are about our Aero-Casting features. This revolutionary new form of media opens the airwaves to anyone with an Internet connection - no transmission tower necessary! (Great thing, too, as those things aren't exactly a pilot's best friend, anyway... just ask Bill Chapel.)
Aero-Casting is a form of "podcasting," which as many of you know takes its name from the equally revolutionary Apple iPod portable MP3 player.
Podcasting was created so people could download an audio feed, and then listen to it "on the go," just as you can with any number of the quadrillion music MP3s out there now. Podcasting means information and news can be transmitted, downloaded, and shared as well.
However, none of this may matter to you if you're not familiar with the technology involved, or with how simple it really is to access our daily audio feeds. While you can of course download our audio feeds to your iPod or similar device (and if you have such a device, you likely already know how to do so) all you need to be able to listen to our Aero-Casts are a home computer, an Internet connection, and speakers. That's all! And if you're reading this, we already know you have at least two out of the three!!
So, don't be afraid to try out our Aero-Casts. All you need to do is click on the "Podcast" icon at the upper right corner of our homepage:
From there, click on either the title of each piece (such as "ANN's Jim Campbell Interviews New Piper President, CEO James Bass," as displayed here) OR on the little speaker icon to the right of each piece. This will open the audio stream AND will download it onto your computer's audio program, such as Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, or MusicMatch... automatically!
If you have Windows Media Player, the feed will begin to play as soon as the download is complete (below); if you're using a music streaming program, our Aero-Cast will be displayed on your playlist, ready to be played at any time!
See how simple it is? Try it out today, and see why we say if it's IN the air, we've got it ON the air!
