Guardian: Podsafe = Limited Appeal

incarnation is that the latter has had all the music scrubbed off for
legal reasons (you can see why obtaining the rights for a song to be
included in a free downloadable MP3 file would be problematic).
However, if you are the kind of person who thinks the best bits of the
Chris Moyles show are the bits with Chris Moyles in, then the podcast
version is for you.
Other podcasts make use of “podsafe” music,
that is, music wholly owned and controlled by the artist, who has
uploaded it on to something like the Podsafe Musical Network in order
to make it available, for free, to registered podcasters. (”Podsafe”,
therefore, is well on its way to becoming a synonym for “homemade
and/or of necessarily limited appeal”.)”
So
Brother Love, the Biddies, Adrina Thorpe, the music at magnatune.com necessarily have limited
appeal. Right - makes perfect sense - if an artist wants to keep his
creation free, it must be crap. I guess Ricky Gervais only has limited appeal, too.
