We have Applescript to thank, in part, for podcasting. Adding media enclosures to RSS happened in 2001, but it was in 2003 that iTunes Applescript capabilities were used to transfer audio files automatically from an RSS reader into an iTunes library. I know I personally listened to my first "Podcasts" in 2004, on an original iPod. It wasn't until 2005 that Apple added native podcatching capabilities to iTunes.
