BadApple Brings Early Podcast Support to iTunes
Sunday, June 19th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
As originally reported by MarketWatch's Frank Barnako, an anonymous developer known as BadFruit Inc. has brought podcasting to iTunes with the recent release of the iTunes plug-in BadApple. While Apple will be doing the same thing within weeks when iTunes 4.9 ships, the person behind BadFruit noted on his Web site: "I'm worried that when and if Apple adds podcast support they will only list a few podcasts that they approve. Remember this is a company that sues web sites that say good things about their upcoming products -- bad Apple!
"Podcasts are significant because they offer a wide-range of diverse topics and ideas, not just those endorsed by one company. BadApple gives you access to all podcasts, - even ones which Apple might disagree with and never list in iTunes software."
BadApple currently works only with the Windows version of iTunes, but BadFruit said in a post in his message forum that he's "been working on a Mac version off and on through the course of development, but I haven't spent any serious time on it ... It's quite possible I'll have something ready within the next few days, if I can find the time."
A thread in BadFruit's forum is devoted to users expressing interest in a Mac version. In his FAQ, BadFruit encourages users who want one to say so on the forum, or send him an e-mail.
