During his chat, Jobs demonstrated iTunes 4.9, a forthcoming version of Apple's digital music jukebox software. Calling it the "Tivo for Radio for iPod", he said the new version would incorporate Podcast support -- allowing users to download and subscribe to pre-recorded audio content.
Jobs said the software is slated for released within the next 60 days and that all Podcast feeds and subscriptions will be free. Apple is currently adding functionality to display relevant album art during the Podcats, he said, which will provide listeners with purchase links to the iTunes Music Store.
Apple will also release a tool that will allow any Podcast creator to easily upload their content to the company's music store.
