    The Juice Receiver

    The Juice Receiver is a very interesting software. Earlier called iPodder, this software allows you to download and listen to content from the internet. Juice is what is known as a podcatcher- it catches podcasts. It allows you to subscribe to certain feeds and download content from there. The software works much like RSS feeds except that it downloads audio from internet radio and various other channels. It also allows you to provide URLs so that you can download the episodes you like from the internet. It automatically checks for content and can detect it and downloads it automatically without interacting any further with you. The downloaded content is then integrated with the iTunes on your computer and added to your iTunes library.

    Juice also allows you to connect your mp3 player to your computer and sync it so that episodes are downloaded directly onto it. Installing Juice is also a simple affair and it is available in 3 different variants for Windows, Mac and Linux.

    Juice also comes with its own directory and though this obviously does not include everything, it does include all the popular feeds and if you’re new to the world of podcasts this is the perfect place to start. You can tune into the popular podcasts before you begin exploring and find your own personal favorites.

    Juice also has great new features that allow you to control what you are downloading everyday such as deciding the intervals at which to search for new content on the net. Preferences gives you options that allow you to do everything from setting the default folder to download to, rss file associations, setting the file path to your mp3 player, choosing the default desktop media player which include iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp and if you set it to no player it will use the player of your choice.

    Juice is also free and ridiculously easy to use so my suggestion is to try it out for yourself.
