New 'Beats 1: Replay' Feature Lets Users Listen to Full Replays of Missed Shows

I have a fairly broad taste in music, with a slight preference to the whole rock genre.

There is a fair balance between the mainstream genres. Julie Adenuga has had guest djs 'take listeners to rock clubs' and I surprisingly love that segment.

Zane seems to play a fair amount of different genres as well.

I feel my taste is more broad than yours.

If you're heavy into rap/hip-hop then absolutely. If you have broad taste in music, then no.

Actually, I've found it to be exactly the opposite. I've discovered a lot of music so far in a lot of genres with a little bit of rap thrown in for variety. Maybe I'm just listening to it at the right times?

If they are live then I would have to consider them a regular "broadcast" instead of a podcast. I mean otherwise what's the difference ? What makes it a podcast ? that someone recorded the live show and uploaded it somewhere ? Everything gets recorded and uploaded nowadays so that definition would potentially make everything a podcast.

I think if there is ever a live version of something that's what makes it a broadcast. If the program is intended to always be pre-recorded and then uploaded then it's a podcast. Otherwise what would really be the main difference ?

and Ninja Tune is a record label so if they have a podcast they probably play their own music. Most podcasts dont play commercial music because of licensing issues.

So basically by that definition songs are podcasts too then ?

but wait, if there's a video to accompany an actual podcast, by THAT definition given is it no longer a podcast ? but a musical recording on the internet by that definition still is ?

OR if you want still call video files of a podcast also technically a podcast then why can't a movie by that same standard be considered a podcast ? or a television show ? Then everything downloadable from the internet with audio accompanied becomes a podcast.

So basically that's a terrible definition.
 
I tried to listen to a replay of the One Mix I listened to last night and it really was a mess. Especially with electronic music, if I go back to listen to that mix, I don't want to listen to the studio versions of what they played, I want to listen to the actual mix. For them to hide the replay under Connect it's really strange and very confusing.

The full live set should be the forefront of the One Mix playlist, with an ability to click and listen to the studio versions if they wish. Same goes for everything on Beats 1 if you ask me.

I get it, the definition isn't something you agree with so its manifestly terrible.

It's terrible because I just clearly showed you its' fallacious nature and why it doesn't make sense logically.

I'm kinda one of those people that tends to not agree on things that dont make sense. How about you ?

and I dont know exactly what Apple feedback is going to do about a New Oxford American Dictionary entry

Definition makes perfect sense to me.

You're right about the Apple feedback. Here are some definitions you can change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/podcast

So if they are podcasts how do I subscribe so that they download automatically for me?

This whole argument that they are podcasts is dumb.

A definition that makes perfect sense to you yet you couldn't defend it or answer any of my previous questions challenging the definition. Yeah okay

I guess I'll go listen to some songs or I mean podcasts from my Itunes music library now.

This all started b/c you're saying a recorded live radio program can't be a podcast. But let's look at your definition for podcast

A song fits by your definition too. A song is pre-recorded and then uploaded.

So you really missed the part that says "program" ?

And going back to the start you missed the whole part about "subscribing" and "downloading".

A radio show that is then later available to stream is not really a podcast.

A program is a performance. Any song is a program. So your definition is an audio program produced exclusively for distribution over the internet that can be only listened to by downloading and which is available to be subscribed to?
 
To be honest the anal nature of this discussion is messing with my head.

All I know is that a radio programme made available to stream after its original broadcast seems quite different to a podcast.

The fact that you can subscribe to a podcast, and have it download automatically seems as good a differentiating factor as any.

It would seem quite different in theory but in practice, it's not.
