Two things will accelerate the uptake of podcasting. One is ease of use. The other is innovative podcasts to which people will want to subscribe. From the second category, I'm anxious to see more services like Eventful, pulling tagged events into its own database. As for the MP3s, "They are direct links to MP3s hosted on band and record label websites. Much like music blogs do. We can't imagine why they would have a problem with us using their file sources (they are available for download anyway, plus it's free promotion)." Well, that could be a problem, I suppose, if the RIAA decided to make an issue out of it. The site does have a link for artists to request links be removed. But conceptually, PodBop (no pun intended) rocks. The idea of a weekly sampling of music available live in your town fills a need that no technology accommodated before podcasting.
