Juice (aggregator)

Juice is a podcast aggregator for Windows and OS X used for downloading media files such as ogg and mp3 for playback on the computer or for copying to a digital audio player.

The original development team was formed by Erik de Jonge, Robin Jans, Martijn Venrooy, Perica Zivkovic from the company Active8 based in the Netherlands, Andrew Grumet, Garth Kidd and Mark Posth joined the team soon after the first release.

The development team credited the program concept to Adam Curry who founded ipodder.org,[3] wrote a little Applescript as a proof of concept and provided the first podcast[4] shows[5] (then referred to as 'audio enclosures') but primarily to Dave Winer who was the inspiration for Adam Curry.

Although that was eventually the method chosen, during the early development phase a diverse range of people were working on alternatives, including a version based on Freenet.

[citation needed] The team from Active8 created PodNova[9] an application which integrates well with Juice with an opml interface,[10] which was available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but closed at the end of February 2010.
