I can see the attraction of 5 minutes of tech news, 5 minutes of world news, 5 minutes of sports, an indie track of the day, then 10 more minutes of tech news. I want my tech news from Laporte, world news from the BBC, sports news from Crazy Jim's soccer show, etc. As a listener, I’d like to have this option.

I have a couple of Smart Playlists set up on my iTunes: One for Audio Podcasts, and one for Video. I can alter the running order before synchronising my iPod. This surely negates the need for a Podcast Creator service. And anyway, how much more time would it take to encode and produce one of these podcasts, in comparison to what I do now?

I'd be surprised if they did extend this to the indies though. I think they needed indie content a versions ago, but now they have their eyes on different pies, indies are very much a stone which has been stepped on. Apple are aiming at all the major media industries now, film, tv and of course, mobile. Very interesting and points well made. I’d be surprised if they did extend this to the indies though.

Still infringes licenses to inject ads if they open this up to all content, of course.

As my show is Creative Commons, it's Non-derivative, so it can be copied as a whole, but not in parts. If this comes about then people could just take the music out and not listen to me, or the other way around. Well if apple do this on my show then that copy write infringement.
