Skypecasters Turn Net Phones into Broadcasting System

"Calling all music players.

"A growing number of people are sharing the digital music on MP3 players and other music devices using freely available software and Skype, a free Internet phone service.

"The enthusiasts are borrowing heavily from another personal broadcasting phenomenon called podcasting, in which digital recordings are posted on a Web site for download to a variety of music players, including desktop PCs and portable gadgets like Apple Computer’s wildly popular iPod. ‘Skypecasters, as they call themselves, use Skype’s peer-to-peer telephone network to distribute recordings over the Internet directly to each other for free."
