Listening to podcast or sport mix?

I prefer to listen to either a podcast or sport mix when I'm running, but I can't figure out how to do that. The guy at the Nike store told me I need to save my podcasts as MP3 files, and I've done that, and moved them into the selection for my nano. But I can't figure out how to associate them with a workout. Do I have to put them into a playlist in order to work out to them, or is there another method?

Hi Tharpo, unfortunately this is not a helpful answer, but a response from someone with a similar problem... I also prefer listening to podcasts while running, and have not figured out how to listen to more than one without pausing my workout. I tried putting a couple of podcasts into a playlist, starting them just before the run, and then selecting the "playing now" (or whatever it's called) playlist to accompany the workout. Didn't work - after the first podcast in the playlist I'd made finished, it simply restarted, and didn't proceed to the next podcast. Given that my runs are quite long, I definitely don't want to hear the same thing repeated over and over! Nor do I want to pause my workout. Any help out there would be much appreciated!

Sports Mix? Voice over?

Quick, perhaps dumb question: I purchased a sports mix from iTunes and the music is great. I'm told that there is supposed to be motivational stuff on the mix(vs. the standard prompts from the nano) but nothing is there but my music? Also, the first time around my music wasn't accessible from teh nike+ menu on the nano...once I moved the album into a play list, i was able to use. Am a doing some wrong?

The voice instructions are part of the increasing your endurance, speed etc. The Nike Drive track will have your nano give you 1/2 mile marker commands and telling you the half way point and a 100 meter count down from 400 meters out. You have to use the continuous track (usually about 40 minutes in length) to get the coaching and I was told that you have to have a nano to get them but I don't think that's true because I listened to the endurance 1 track on my PC and I could hear Coach Salazar giving his commands.

IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

Listened to podcasts not deleted during sync

Hi All,
All of a sudden when I sync my iPod Touch to Tunes it no longer will properly sync listened to podcasts. They used to get synced to iTunes and marked as read. Now, they stay marked as unlistened in iTunes (blue dot) and get remarked on the iPod as unlistened to (blue dot) even though I have listened to the podcasts completely through to the end.
It almost appears as though the sync from the direction of iPod to iTunes has stopped functioning and I am only getting syncing in the direction of iTunes to iPod.
I have not changed any settings in iTunes. I have it set to sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts which has always worked correctly for me in the past. My listened to podcasts used to be deleted from the iPod and only the unlistened/new podcasts would be synced to my iPod.
How do I correct this problem?
Thanks for your help.

I've seen and reported something like this as well. In my case, what I think I've figured out is that the "update podcast" function isn't happening UNLESS there is a new podcast episode downloaded for that subscription. I'm not seeing the heard/watched podcast getting remarked as unheard/unwatched on my iPod. If I go into the podcast list and ctrl-click and manually say "update podcast" it will delete the heard/watched episodes.
I never played much in the settings, but always have download all available and keep unheard podcasts selected. When this problem started I noticed a setting on each podcast regarding "auto delete" that I'd never noticed before. They seem to have been set randomly to "auto delete" or "don't auto delete", but again, I don't remember seeing or setting this before so it could have been something I did. I selected all the podcasts and set them to "auto delete".

ITunes no longer syncs partially listened-to podcasts with my iPod

Hey, everyone. Since I downloaded the new iTunes 11, I've run into a problem with the podcasts I listen to. I subscribe to a bunch of podcasts, many of which are quite lengthy. For that reason, I often can't listen to the whole podcast in a single day. However, with the new iTunes, if I sync up my iPod while partway through a podcast, the iPod loses the partially listen-to podcast. It's as if the software assumes that since I've listened to part of it, I don't want it to sync anymore.
This is, of course, not the case. Is there a setting somewhere that I can toggle to make iTunes give me ALL my podcasts, regardless of whether I've listened to part of them (or even all all of them)? In short, I want my podcasts folder in iTunes to match what's on my iPod, not have iTunes make guesses about what I'll want.
Thanks for any help!

OK, figured this out and wanted to post the solution in case anyone else experiences this.
When you plug in your iPod, iTunes should start up automatically and sync. A button, "iPod," should appear at the top of the iTunes player, just below the search window. Click it (but not the eject symbol on it).
This brings up the iPod control settings. Along the top menu, there will be several submenu options: "Summary," "Music," "Movies," "TV Shows," "Podcasts," etc. Clock "Podcasts."
Here there will be a radio button next to "Sync Podcasts." Make sure that is checked. There is also a radio button next to "Automatically include..." Click that to on as well. Then, if you want iTunes to STOP deleting partially listened-to podcasts, make sure the options in the two drop-down menus say "all" and "all podcasts." Thus, you'll end up with: "Automatically include all episodes of all podcasts."
Hope this helps. The new iTunes is far from user-friendly.

Volume too low on 6300, and listening to podcasts

I believe this question has been asked so many times, but is there ANY way to make the allowable volume any higher on headsets? I'd like to listen to music while riding my bicycle and even the sound of the damn tires on the road is louder than the max volume settings.
Only workaround I found is to use a custom equalizer and bump up all frequency bands. Sound then kinda sucks.
Last, I tried listening to podcasts, but the audio playing interface is a joke: try fast forwarding into a 20 min podcast ... you can't! The fast forward button moves 6s forward every 2s. Oh that's fast! NOT!
I wonder how Nokia believes they can ever displace Apple's iPod if they can't even get the most BASIC function right. For frak's sake, my 30 year old cassette Walkman does fast forward right!
I'm FACEPALMing just thinking about those Nokia suits at the next marketing meeting, scheming on how they're going to take over the world of MP3 players and all that, but little do they know that their l33t engineers can't even do FF right!

Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

I can not listen to podcasts on my ipod 4

I can not listen to podcasts from itunes on my ipod 4. Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

It would certainly be great if there is a Podcast Widget

i found that web app earlier this week and was really excited to what it offers. I think a widget would be nice too but more i wish that NPR like did the same. How does the battery last if your using the web app to listen to the podcasts for?

I upgraded to the new itunes version 7 and now my podcasts on my iphone4 won't work. i get an error message "temporarily unavailable". has anyone found a solution to be able to listen to podcasts? thanks

I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos.

Listening to Podcasts AND music

I can listen to podcasts on my shuffle with no problem, and they play fine; and I can do the same with music selections. However, whenever there is music AND podcasts on the shuffle, the podcasts don't play...only the music. Any suggestions?

How do I listen to Podcasts in order without playlist...

When I listen to podcasts on my iPod the podcast I selected plays, but when it ends it just repeats. How can I make it go to the next podcast in that podcast list? I have been creating playlists for a while now. But I have to add a new podcast every time I download one.
Is it just me? Does any one else experience this?

Smart Playlists.

Artwork from podcasts is getting mixed into other music

I started downloading podcasts recently, and shortly afterwards I found this problem. The artwork that comes with podcasts is getting mixed into my album artwork and vice-versa. This is only happening on my iPod, not on my computer. In iTunes, the artwork is with the correct files. The only way I've found to fix this problem is to:
a)delete the artwork from iTunes
b)sync my iPod
c)attach the artwork back onto the file
d)sync my iPod again
It only happens with some albums, in a random pattern. Anyone else have this problem? If so, is there a permanent fix? I've got the latest version of iTunes.

Known but rare problem. No known fix.
There is no need to delete the artwork from iTunes. Just change setting for iPod, sync, turn on artwork option again, sync again.

How do you listen to podcasts that you have downloaded but isent you most recent podcast???

You can double-click unto the podcast line and you'll listen/watch it. If the podcast isn't downloaded yet, it will be downloaded from this time.
If you want to download again all the entries of a podcast (particularly useful when you have deleted some that you want to listen/watch again) : Open the little triangle at the lest of the podcast line with the alt key down. iTunes will show you all the entries for it from the first oine to the latest....

HT5295 can I listen to podcasts without podcast app on my iphone?

I have an iPhone 4. I just upgraded to ios 6.0 including Podcasts app. I listen to 8-10 podcasts a day and with the older ios I still had plenty of battery life to make it to the end of the day.
Now if I listen to 4 or 5 podcasts my battery is already down to half. I have looked at the prefs and did not see where I can reduce the battery usage.
Is anyone else have this problem? Is there any remedy that has been posted? Is there a way to listen to podcasts without using the Podcasts app?
Thanks.

I am assuming your podcasts also appear in itunes on your computer and if so you should be able to listen to them there.
