播客源

Podcasting is a new way to broadcast audio content over the web; when an author publishes an episode, podcast subscribers are informed, through an XML feed.

Rhythmbox Music Player enables you to subscribe to podcast feeds, so when a new episode is available you'll be informed, it will download this episode and it will play it.

You can find more information about podcasts and podcasting by visiting the definition of Podcast on the site Wikipedia.
