news release

To help clients distribute their programming around the world, Acoustiguide announces the launch of its branded page on iTunes. With this page, Acoustiguide offers clients a simple way to distribute content to a new audience – consumers of high quality, internet-based cultural content.

Podcasting is a relatively new entry to the field of cultural interpretation. Simply put, a podcast is a set of audio files held together in a format called RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Acoustiguide is the only audio tour vendor with its own portal on iTunes, which is the internet’s largest and most high-profile aggregator of podcasts. With nearly thirty feeds currently on line, we look forward to bringing more content to the web where it can be found by eager listeners.

To facilitate the process, Acoustiguide generates the RSS code and hosts the podcasts on its own servers. This saves clients the time associated with writing the code and uploading the files, as well as the incremental costs associated with the bandwidth needed to offer access to web-users. As a value-added service, Acoustiguide also provides its clients regular usage reports on internet traffic derived directly from Acoustiguide servers, combining the benefits of the iTunes and Acoustiguide brand in one service.
