Doppler is een podcasting programma dat ontwikkeld wordt op Nederlands/Vlaamse bodem. Podcasting is het fenomeen waarmee je via RSS-feeds mp3-bestanden kunt downloaden (zogenaamde enclosures), die je vervolgens kunt synchroniseren met je mp3speler. Het gedeelte 'pod' in podcasting doet vermoeden dat je een Apple iPod nodig hebt maar iedere mp3speler waarmee je een map kunt synchroniseren is geschikt. Het ontwikkelteam heeft de eerste bèta vrijgegeven voor hun bètatesters met de volgende aankondiging:
The first beta release of Doppler 3.0 is out there! Our beta testers can download the latest release as from yesterday. Many beta versions will follow before we release 3.0 as a gold release, so stay in touch! We’ll keep you updated.
We are happy to introduce you to version 3.0. Version 3.0 will include even more support for Windows Media Player! Besides the already existing option to create playlists containing your podcasts, Doppler 3.0 will now auto-install smart playlists, showing you the latest podcasts you downloaded. Doppler 3.0 will include a Windows Media Player plugin that will auto-start Doppler (if not already running) when you start Windows Media Player and will start downloading the latest podcasts automatically (this will be configurable).
The Doppler 3.0 interface has been upgraded, including a new RSS reader pane, allowing you to read the posts in the RSS feed without even leaving the Doppler interface. We now also support ‘background’ downloads, leveraging the same technology Windows uses to download upgrades (it’s called BITS). And there’s so much more.
Do you like Doppler 2.0? You’ll love Doppler 3.0.
