Assigning Artwork to the Podcast itself

Hi All - I am migrating to iWeb from Podcast Maker.
I export the podcast through Garageband where I assign episode artwork.
My question is: is there a difference between episode artwork and the artwork of the podcast series generally? Can I have artwork for the podcast, showing up say on an ipod when scrolling through podcasts as well as artwork for each specific episode, when scrolling through the podcast episodes?
Thanks

Two separate issue. The image which appears on the Store page ( the 'podcast image') is referenced in the feed. Podcast Maker will give you a place to insert an image and will upload it and reference it in the feed for you.
The images which appear when you subscribe and click on each episode (caloed 'cover art') are not referenced in the feed but are embedded in the actual media file. Podcast Maker may do this - working from memory I'm not sure - but this page shows you how to do it for yourself:

  • My master cover art for "The Circus Life Podcast" isn't showing up in the store, only the podcast library.  Can anyone help?

    I just uploaded my new podcast, "The Circus Life Podcast" to iTunes via Libsyn.  The master artwork for the show itself is not showing up in the store, only the library in the podcast app once you have subscribed.  Me and my partner can't for the life of us figure out what to do.  The RSS feed was submitted and approved over a week ago and still the artwork isn't show.  Can anyone help?

    Yes I work at libsyn.   rob (at) libsyn (dot) com.
    Below are specs from Apple for artwork.  They don't mention the 500kb limit - but it seems at least for .jpg images - any we have seen issues with that meet all the other requirement are over 500 kb - and lowering the file size was able to get them working.
    But per CMYK - that definitely will not work on the iTunes store.  Change your artwork to RGB - get the file size down below 500kb - and reupload to libsyn - with a new file name and your artwork should show up in 1 to 5 days.

    <itunes:image>
    This tag specifies the artwork for your podcast. Put the URL to the image in the href attribute. iTunes prefers square .jpg images that are at least 1400x1400 pixels, which is different from what is specified for the standard RSS image tag. In order for a podcast to be eligible for an iTunes Store feature, the accompanying image must be at least 1400x1400 pixels.
    iTunes supports images in JPEG and PNG formats with an RGB color space (CMYK is not supported). The URL must end in ".jpg" or ".png". If the <itunes:image> tag is not present, iTunes will use the contents of the RSS image tag.
    If you change your podcast’s image, also change the file’s name. iTunes may not change the image if it checks your feed and the image URL is the same. The server hosting your cover art image must allow HTTP head requests for iTS to be able to automatically update your cover art.
    Spend some time developing an attractive, original image that represents your podcast well. Potential subscribers will see it on your podcast’s page and a much smaller version of the image in search results and feature placements. Make sure your design is effective in both sizes.
    The <itunes:image> tag is also supported at the episode level. For best results, we recommend using the <itunes:image> tag at the item level as well as embedding the same art within the media file’s metadata. To embed art within an individual episode’s metadata using iTunes, select the episode and choose Get Info from the File menu. Click the Artwork tab. Then click Add, navigate to and select the image file, and click Choose.

  • Where does the podcast art come from?

    Does the artwork for the podcast from within garageband3 file or the iweb page it resides on?

    Hello.
    While establishing BGP with ISP, there are three options for a client:
    > Default route (used in general) - client router forwards every request (for destination route) to ISP router.
    > Full route - ISP router's complete routing table would be received and maintained in client router.
    > Partial route - Only specific route would be received from ISP (Head office - Branch office scenario)
    ISP generate default route from their peering router that should have full routing table or knowledge of the router having it. A local ISP may generate default to their client and have one received from their upstream or global / larger ISP. Hope this helps.

  • Coverflow artwork for video podcasts

    How do you set the artwork for a video podcast so it will show within the itunes library? I'm not talking about the end user setting the artwork but the podcast creator. Seems that itunes uses the first frame of video as a default but I have seen other video podcasts have a specific picture, not the first frame of video, as their artwork. Example, subscribe to Creative Cows Final Cut Pro Podcast and there is a picture in your podcast library.
    Here is my xml file
    http://www.ci.lakeville.mn.us/podcasts/meetings/podcast.xml
    I use Lemonz Dream's "Podcast Maker" to create the xml files.

    No bites on this one yet? . . . Okay, I'll have a go.
    So what you want to do is set the artwork for your podcast . . . Fairly easily done, but you first need to understand something about artwork for your podcast FILE versus artwork for your feed XML. (They are two completely separate things!) In the case of what you want, your XML code (and the artwork linked therein) doesn't matter because it doesn't affect the podcast file once it has been put into a podcatcher of some sort (e.g. iTunes). The artwork from your XML is only really of use to the iTMS and sundry web readers. So, have no worries about what method/program you are using to create your code or the validity of your file.
    To set/change an individual episode's artwork you actually have to edit the .mov (or whatever) file. Hold on - that's not as scary as it may sound. First, do you already have the artwork that you want to use? Or do you want to capture a "good" frame from your video and use that? If you already have artwork, awesome. If you want to use a certain frame from your video, all that you need to do is play your video and freeze it on the desired frame and take a screen capture. (To take a screen cap, use Print Screen or Alt+Print Screen on a PC; or Command-Shift-3 or Command-Shift-4 on a Mac -- crop it if needed, and save the file as a jpeg/gif.)
    After you have your desired artwork lined up, all you need to do is open your .mov in iTunes. Right- or Ctrl-click on the file, and select the option "Get Info." A window should come up - the last tab will say "artwork." Select the artwork tab, select and delete the pre-fab iTunes issue artwork, and then click "add." This will allow you to select the file of your desired artwork. After you've added the artwork, click "okay." Your file has been successfully modified, and is now ready to be uploaded!
    And ta-da, when someone downloads your podcast file, the artwork will show up when they play the file (or in coverflow). Why? Because the artwork is now part your video file, and it is included in the download of your podcast.
    More info, and possibly less confusion, about what is going on with this topic can be found here. (When you're reading it, just replace "MP3" with "MOV" in your head.)

  • How are you supposed to find the latest podcast if there's little information about the podcast due to the recent iTunes changes?

    For example, many of the podcasts for Washington Week all have "Washington Week with Gwen Ifill a..."

    You should blur out or cover your login if you post this sort of shot.
    Click on the image for the podcast itself:
    Better still, click on the 'Subscribe' button and you will get the latest episode downloaded to your Mac as soon as it's posted.

    I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!!

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

  • We have a new Wordpress site, how do I add a description and artwork to the RSS feed of the podcast?

    Hello:
    I am surprised I could not find this on a search of Google or Apple Support. 
    Our church has a new website created with Wordpress.  We have all of the functionality ready to go in order to have the RSS feed work with the itunes store.
    However, when we submit the feed to iTunes, it says that we need to add a graphic, as well as a short and a long description.  I believe this used to be a part of the iTunes website submission process, however it apparently now needs to be a part of the feed itself, if I am understanding correctly.
    So my question is where can I find instructions on how to add this in Wordpress?
    Just so you understand, I am not in charge of the site itself... I am basically doing some research on my own to help out our programmer.  I am just in charge of uploading the weekly audio.
    If anyone could guide me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated.
    Randy

    Wordpress can construct a proper podcast feed, including the 'itunes:image, 'itunes:summary' and 'itunes:subtitle' tags; there will be places to enter this data but I'm afraid I can'd advise on WordPress. It does seem to have a steep learning curve as we see more problems with Wordpress podcasts than any other creation method.
    Unless someone who happens to have got a WordPress podcast working happens to see your question and offer information I can only suggest that you look for a Wordpress forum or some Help on it.
    Although it won't help you with Wordpress you might like to look at this page about podcasting basics: it includes a sample basic feed so that you can at least see what one should look like:

  • ITunes loses my entire library with artwork, playlists and podcasts every time I close the program. Any advice very welcome

    iTunes loses my entire library with artwork, playlists and podcasts every time I close the program. Upon restarting it takes at least 15 minutes to rebuild the library and podcasts and a lot longer to replace the artwork, I also lose playlists. I would really welcome some feedback and assistance here and am losing faith in the Apple product. Since iTunes has been updated to version 11 it seems to have caused a lot of issues for many people. I am hopeful of a reply and a resolution. I have approx. 1200 albums at just under 90 Gb. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ditch AVG (at this stage it really does seem to be the problem for some people) and install Microsoft Security Essentials...

  • The artwork for our podcast, "Japan Baseball Weekly," recently disappeared. The RSS feed info appears to be in order, any particular reason for this and what can be done to rectify the situation?

    The artwork for our podcast, "Japan Baseball Weekly," recently disappeared. The RSS feed info appears to be in order, any particular reason for this and what can be done to rectify the situation?

    Please always post the URLs of the Store page and the feed when you have a question. For reference, your feed is at
    http://www.japanesebaseball.com/services/jbw-podcasts.jsp
    and the Store page is at
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/japan-baseball-weekly/id443149184
    Looking at the Store page, the image appears there perfectly well. On subscribing there is no image associated with the episodes because you haven't embedded an image in the files - please see this page for clarification:

  • The podcast artwork does not automatically copy to new episodes

    I have added some artwork manually to my podcasts in Itunes (and have set it to apply to all episodes of any individual podcast).
    Now, whenever a new episode is downloaded (which does not have any artwork at all), I expect the existing artwork to be used for it automatically.
    But it does not! Is there a way to get this done in Itunes?
    Thanks a lot
    Luc

    The latest build has broken the ability to copy artwork from the lower left artwork panel or switch between art if you have multiple items attached to a particular file. The CreateFolderArt script should still work to create the seed images if run with a selection of files that have art.

  • ITues 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a movie into iT11, it shows up in the list view, in get info the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork

    iTunes 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a new movie into iTunes 11, it shows up in the list view, in the get info window the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork) view.
    The media collection is on an external drive. And on my older Snow Leopard machine, the newly imported movie also shows up (with artwork) as it should.
    Just not in iTunes 11 non-list )main movie) view.
    Any ideas on this?
    Cheers!

    Wait - I meant to say that on the older machine the newly imported move shows up correctly using Front Row, not in iTunes.
    Besides, i just noticed that my my hardware profile is not up to date - I am referring to an iMac running MountainLion 10.8.2

  • Can I adjust the sorting of Podcast as displayed on the IPOD itself

    Itunes by default sorts my podcast with the newest podcast at the top.
    If I want to redisplay the sorting within iTunes, I just click on the release date column and they re-sort with the oldest at the top. This doesn't change the way they sort in the ipod window. The ipod still displays the newest at the top.
    I'm just learning about the sort order field in itunes - info - sorting but I don't see how this can set up the change of date option as a permanent change to sort by date descending. Any advice or am I just trying to mess with my ipod too much.
    Thanks,
    Nyimbo

    Don't worry about messing with your ipod too much. It is probably the best way to learn about it.
    So far the best way I have found is to create a playlist, I usually use the same name as the podcast, sort the podcast by the release date, select all of them and add to the playlist. Then just play the podcast from the playlist.
    Someday Apple may wake up and realize people, their customers, would like to install podcasts onto their iPods in the same order they are in iTunes.

  • Want to remove a podcast that shows on the ipod itself but doesn't appear in the library under itunes

    I have a podcats on my ipod touch that doesn't appear in the podcast library that I want to remove.  Deleting all the podcasts & replacing them with new podcasts doesn't help.  Any ideas?

    Hi
    Go to the apple.com to download the latest iTunes and ipod updater and install accorindingly, then do a Reset of your iPod i.e. Press "Menu"+"Select" keys. Connect it with your iBook and open iPod updater, hope it will allow you to do a Restore. If failed, then press "Select"+"Play" keys to put your iPod in Disk Mode, connect it back with your iBook, open the iTunes and you will able to see your iPod there. Then open the ipod updater and do a restore. You may need to do a few attempts in order to achieve the solution

  • Artwork for Video Podcasts

    Is there any way to force iTunes to show embeded artwork for video podcasts in the podcast list? Right now it shows little previews of a random frame of the latest episode. Not only is that uninformative — makes it difficult to find a particular podcast, — but also bad for my OCD.
    Thanks.

    Well, that's the thing: all the video podcasts in my collection have artwork assigned when I look them up in iTunes Store. For example: the official Apple Keynotes podcast, Diggnation, Tekzilla, etc. But in iTunes, they — and every other video podcast — all show a still frame instead of artwork.
    All the audio podcasts in my collection display their respective artwork just fine.
