“Motorola will release a podcast for its ROKR iTunes phone next week – one of the first podcasts on the planet to feature legally-licensed music from big name music acts.
The company describes the inclusion of music – a major step the podcasting phenomenon – as: “Marking another step towards full legitimacy of a format frequently branded ‘the new pirate radio’.”
All the copyrighted music tracks used in the podcast have been licensed from the record label responsible for its original release. The company has arranged for three such transmissions.”
