Podcast tags

i have some audiobook podcasts that i've downloaded. normally podcasts appear in order of release date, and they do with these. however, most of the stories are in several parts, which were released on the same day. these show in the correct order in itunes. but do not sync in the correct order to my ipod.
(i'm assuming this is more a date related problem than it is a podcast order problem, as all my other podcasts are now syncing correctly)
i've played around with the tags, but can't seem to find either the right combination of info, or a date change box.
anyone know what to change?

Only certain category names are acceptable in the iTunes Store. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to see the categories and sub-categories you can choose from:

  • Display mapping for podcast tags

    I'm podcasting television shows recorded with MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org/) and converted to MPEG-4/AAC using myth2ipod (http://www.myth2ipod.com/). I'm also a contributor to the myth2ipod project, and discovered a weird behavior in iTunes 6.0.4 for Mac: when an episode is shown as part of a podcast but not downloaded, the "Podcast" column shows the contents of the RSS title tag. After downloading, however, the "Podcast" column shows the contents of the title metadata in the movie file. I would think that the RSS feed should override any values found in the media; is that the general concensus here?

    Hi,
    In my scenario occurrence of that
    target field is    0...unbounded
    and in my display queue.. Initially it is
    suppress, [], suppress, suppress, suppress,suppress,suppress,suppress,suppress,suppress, [],suppress
    in my result i could get only one DT_req field.
    Plz throw some idea on this?
    thanks

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

  • N96 Podcast problems - some podcasts have suddenly...

    I've recently noticed that some podcasts on my 96 have vanished.  Music player cannot see/list them however they are clearly still on the phone as i can see them via file manager. I've refreshed the music library and it seem these podcasts are totally invisible to the music player now.
    Anyone got anything similar or solved it already ??
    Oh yes this was occured around the same time as my v20 firmware update.  Alongside another gallery problem i'm having and posted about i'm begining to wonder if version 20 firmware has got inherent bugs in it and messed up my phone.  Any offers ??

    Is the music player finding any music at all?
    Where are you looking for the podcasts in the Podcast library or as part of the All songs?
    It could be that old podcasts may have lost the "podcast" tag when the firmware was updated. Are new podcasts also not being found?

  • Saving podcasts as non-podcasts - Update

    Last year I started a thread with the title +"Saving podcasts as non-podcasts".+ Although I subscribed to it, notifications somehow ceased to arrive and I forgot about the thread.
    The problem the thread addressed boils down to the fact that podcasts set an uneditable tag that identifies the track as a podcast. If this tag is not edited or deleted, the track will, when loaded into iTunes, always appear in the Podcasts library. (I'm assuming people know how to choose to load, or not load, their multimedia files into iTunes here.) So if, for example, one had archived a series of language-learning podcasts that one wanted to keep in iTunes, they would always take up room in the Podcasts library and compete for space and attention with ever-changing, "current" podcasts. When one has lots of archived, "permanent" podcasts to keep in iTunes, this mixing of old podcasts with the new can create a hassle.
    In the time since the original thread was archived I found a better solution to this problem than those proposed there. Unfortunately for Mac users, it involves delving into the Windows world, but that's what Boot Camp and virtualization software are for, right?
    There's a free Windows batch tag processing program called mp3tag that has a menu command for "Extended tags...". This command allows for editing of normally uneditable file tags, including one it calls "IPODCAST" (which is not its "official" name).
    http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html
    Since finding mp3tag I've been able to fire up Parallels, launch mp3tag, batch process folders full of archived podcast files, and import them into iTunes without their appearing in the Podcast library.
    mp3tag edits the Podcast tag of mp3 and m4a files but not of AACs. About 95% of podcasts are in mp3 format and the rest are split between m45a and AAC, so if you use mp3tag, a small percentage of your podcast files won't convert, and you'll have to use another method or just...let them go.
    I'd prefer a solution that allows for staying in the Mac realm, but short of that, this isn't a horrendous solution. As always, I'm open for suggestions.
    Original thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1119261&tstart=0

    Panglos, I need to do the exact opposite. I find myself finding podcasts that have ARCHIVED episodes that I download as .mp3. I'd like to take these .mp3 files and get them INTO the podcast category in iTunes. Can the software below do that, or can I do it manually? Changing the Genre, as you probably know, doesn't do it.
    Thanks!

  • Consolidating Podcasts into one 'Album'

    I have imported a number of podcasts, into my 'Podcast' folder in iTunes.
    How do I consolidate 4 'Albums' into one, within my 'Podcast' folder?

    Are these podcasts from the same subscription that have become separated or four distinct podcasts that you're trying to force together?
    Although you can edit the Album and Artist fields in a podcast the way they are connected in iTunes & on the iPod depends on a hidden tag field called ITUNESPODCASTURL. If you give all the episodes the same value for ITUNESPODCASTURL the order is then controled by ITUNESPODCASTID. While editing these values to link a series that has changed its feed or rearrange episodes that are in the wrong order works well, I don't think it should be used to try to fuse disparate series together. If that is your aim it would probably be better to change the Mediak Kind to Music and then organise these tracks like any other album.
    mp3tag is one Windows-based tag editor I've come across which is able to edit podcast tags in audio files. I've no doubt there are others that can do the same for Mac and/or video files.

  • Edit the release date of a podcast ?

    Hello everyone !
    I have a question regarding iTunes and podcasts management. I really enjoy a specific podcast, which I follow from a few monthes. A friend of mine has given me the whole archives of the show, from more than two years, as plain mp3 files. I successfully added them to iTunes, then specified them as podcasts so that they would appear in the right section of the library.
    But there is a glitch : the old podcasts do not have a release date, on the contrary to the more recent ones that I have downloaded from the iTunes store. I would like to manually edit the release dates of the old files so that they fit with the new ones, but I can't seem to find the corresponding field in the informations window...
    So if any of you have a solution, I would be very interested !
    Thanks in advance !

    (I'm running iTunes 10.4.1 (10) and Mac OS X 10.7.1)

    Hi, Thomas. It took me several hours of scouring the Internet and testing solutions on my computer, but I finally have answers for you:
    This will be a comprehensive answer that includes solutions to some things you may not have asked about. It's so I can copy this answer into several other threads where similar questions are being asked.
    Q: How do I add an mp3 podcast file to Mac iTunes 10.6.3 (the latest version as of July 13, 2012)?
    1. Open iTunes, go to the FILE menu, select ADD TO LIBRARY, select your mp3 file in the dialog box, and click on Open.
    2. The file will most likely have been added to your Music library and not your Podcast library. If this is the case, select the newly-added podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, click on the OPTIONS tab of the dialog box, change the MEDIA KIND dropdown menu to "Podcast," and click on OK. Your mp3 podcase should move to the Podcasts library.
    Q: Now that I've added the mp3 podcast to my Podcasts library in iTunes, how do I change the release date so that it shows up in the proper order with all the other podcasts in that series?
    1. Download the program ID3 Editor from http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
    2. After you've downloaded, extracted, and moved the application to your Applications folder, open ID3 Editor.
    3. Go to the FILE menu in ID3 Editor and choose OPEN and select your mp3 file from the iTunes Music folder (not the original mp3 which may be in a different location on your computer). If you don't know where it is, go to iTunes, right-click (or <Control>-click) on the podcast, and select SHOW IN FINDER to see its exact location. The usual path is USER NAME > MUSIC > iTUNES MUSIC > PODCASTS > folder with name of podcast.
    4. Your podcast will open in ID3 Editor with the Standard tab active. Click on the EXTENDED tab to see the RELEASED tag field.
    5. In the RELEASED tag field, add or change the podcast release date to whatever you want it to be. The format is 2012-07-13 16:30:00 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
    6. Click on UPDATE in the lower left and the file will close with your changes saved.
    7. Select the newly-updated podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. The podcast should now move to the proper place in order when sorted by Release Date.
    Q: My podcasts are in different folders instead of all being in the same folder. How do I group them back together?
    1. To make all your podcasts show up in the same folder, the IDENTIFIER and FEED tags need to match for all podcasts.
    2. Open ID3 Editor and open all of the podcasts you want to group in iTunes under one folder. (Remember to open the files from within the iTunes Music > Podcasts folder and not from your desktop or Documents folder where you may have stored originals downloaded from the podcast's website.)
    3. For each mp3 file opened in ID3 Editor, switch from the Standard tab to the PODCASTS tab.
    4. If you have a podcast that shows up properly in iTunes and should be the default name/location for all the other disparate podcasts in the series, bring that file's window forward and copy the URL from its IDENTIFIER field.
    5. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective IDENTIFIER field for each one.
    6. From the same file you copied the Identifier URL, now copy the FEED URL.
    7. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective FEED field for each one.
    8. For every podcast file, make sure ENABLE PODCAST TAG is checked (in the upper left of the Podcast tab).
    9. Now you have to number all the files properly. To do that, you need to be in the STANDARD tab in ID3 Editor.
    10. Count up the total number of podcasts in the series you're consolidating. That TOTAL# number will go in the second TRACK field in the upper left (i.e., Track # of TOTAL#)
    11. In the first TRACK field in the upper left, number your files in the order you want them to be listed (i.e., TRACK# of Total#). Also put the TRACK# in the TRACK field in the upper right (next to "Enable V1 tag").
    12. Click on UPDATE in the lower left of each file to close each one with your changes saved.
    13. For each of the newly-updated podcast files in your Music library, select it so that it's highlighted, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. Once you've done this for every file, all podcasts in the series should be under one folder. (If not, make sure the ALBUM field matches exactly for each file.)
    I hope the above resolves all the difficulties you've experienced with Podcasts in iTunes. If not, let me know and I'll add more detail (or correct any inadvertent errors in my instructions).

  • Saving podcasts as non-podcasts

    I have collected numerous podcasts that are good enough to keep indefinitely. When I listen to them they reappear under the Podcast library heading, along with the Podcast title and a new "subscribe" button. What I want is for them to appear in a playlist to which I've assigned them.
    How do I accomplish this?

    There are tags that are sent with the RSS feed for every podcast, including ones to place podcasts in categories, provide descriptions, mark explicit, etc. There's even one (<itunes:block>) that can be used to keep the podcast from showing up under the Podcast listing! But the way to get access to these tags after the podcast has been downladed seems to be an impenetrable mystery, even though they clearly are retained within the file after download.
    The best solution I have so far for mp3 podcasts is to select their files in iTunes and convert their id3 tags to version 1. You can do this using the Advanced menu or with a right-click (control-click). It seems id3v1 isn't compatible with the metadata that stores the 'Podcast' tag, and so it discards it. However, I'm not sure it won't discard or alter useful tag information in the process.
    Alternatively, if you have Fission, you can open and save the files in that. Fission resaves them without re-encoding them, and regenerates the tags, not including the Podcast tag. But since Fission isn't Automator-friendly and I don't know AppleScript, I haven't been able to process more than one file at a time with Fission.
    So the answer to your question is, "there are ways, just not really good ways." Not as far as we know, yet.

  • Podcasts show up three times after sync

    This is a weird sync issue.
    Most of my groups of podcasts sync with no issue.
    I have one series, a nice group from Layers TV, that shows up three times in the podcast page. I delete manually in iTunes, re-sync just the series I want, but on the podcast page there appears three icons for the series each with the same menus list of podcasts. It's the only series that does this. I don't have multiples or repeats in iTunes or in the library.
    It only adds them once to the iPad, so they're not copied multiple times. It's just three separate icons containing the same list of podcasts. Maybe these are different keyframes so they're listed as separate?
    I have no idea how to fix this.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    It sounds like the podcasts have different information in iTunes. The podcast producer could have changed something in the tags. Try selecting podcast 113> click File> Get Info. Then Get Info on podcast 116 and find out what tags are not the same. They should have the same artist, album, genre, ect. Then change the information to match the latest podcast(probably correct going forward), so they group up in iTunes.
    You can also try selecting the entire group of podcasts in iTunes(80-134) and then Getting Info on all of the selected podcasts. Then Enter the correct information and check the box next to the field, to change all of the podcasts tags.

  • ITunes have split my podcast folder in two

  • Has Podcast "Update Podcast" as a contextual menu item been moved?

    Has "Update Podcast" been moved down the 'right click list'? I've recently found myself hitting "Mark as Played" when I'm intending to update the available files and I'm pretty sure I'm not going crazy or senile, but it's completely screwed up my podcasts.

    an89ag I know what you mean… I have nine TEDTalks video Podcasts that I downloaded from the TEDTalks' web site that, when added to iTunes, show up as Movies instead of Podcasts. From the iTunes "Get Info" they are identical to the TEDTalks Podcasts I downloaded from iTMS. These are episodes that are unavailable via iTMS, either because they were never made available or they have since been deleted.
    Not all of the video Podcasts I downloaded from TED do this. iTunes and iTMS recognized about five of them, duplicated the other fifty (which was a whole other problem!) and that leaves the nine orphans that I cannot get added properly to the Podcast Library.
    Apparently there is an invisible tag that iTunes reads that indicates what kind of file it is and where it is supposed to go. It isn't iTunes fault if the maker of the Podcast tags it wrong, but it would be nice to have the option in iTunes to correct these hidden tags.
    Anyone have a solution for correcting the hidden tags? … Besides Lostify and vID_Infiltr8, which do not have the Podcast stik.

  • ITunes 11 convert mp3 to podcast

    Not bashing (yet!)  I have learned to give software changes a few days to win me over.
    However, I have not been able to convert mp3 to podcast since the update.  I like to listen at double speed and I do seem to be able to convert to audiobook so that could be a workaround.  I'd rather use podcast.
    I've tried converting multiple files at the same time and one at a time using "Get Info"
    Any ideas?

    Sorry – I didn't mean to suggest that my solution was a good solution, just that it might be a temporary fix for some of you until Apple fixes the bug (if indeed they consider it a bug).
    skirsman: I'm not sure why you say ID3 Editor needs to be compiled. Go tohttp://www.pa-software.com/downloads.php and look for the download options under ID3 Editor. However, you're right about it being trial software. For me this wasn't a problem, because I'm not looking for a long-term solution, and I was able to change the metadata for 140 MP3s. If you're interested in this approach, it'd be worth searching for other apps that do this – ID3 Editor was simply the first thing I found, and its trial period was sufficient for my needs. I believe it's also possible to write AppleScripts or Python code (or whatever) to do this automatically, and I might attempt something like that if this problem sticks around.
    7smcb: Sorry I didn't give more detailed instructions. Here are instructions for the Mac version (Windows version is probably similar):
    Run ID3 Editor.
    It will ask you to open a file. Choose the MP3 you want to modify.
    Go to the Podcast tab (see screenshot).
    Enable the "podcast tag" by checking the box (see screenshot).
    Give an identifier, feed location (optional), and description (optional). See info further below.
    Click Update.
    Import the file into iTunes.
    As far as I can tell, you don't need to give both an identifier and a feed (just one is sufficient), but I gave both. I also added a description as well, but this seems to be optional. If you leave all the fields blank iTunes will not accept the file as a podcast.
    If you want to do this with a whole bunch of files at once, go to File > Open Group in ID3 Editor, which allows you to modify the metadata for many files at once.
    As far as I know, the identifier should be set to something unique for each file, so that iTunes can treat it as a separate episode or whatever. I didn't experiment with giving loads of files the same identifier – not sure what iTunes will do in this case.
    The location should point to the RSS feed where new episodes can be downloaded. For many of you, you won't need to bother setting this.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks to you JohnWilliamCarr for a simple, if not cumbersome, solution.
    This worked for my files and I was even able to do groups of files (separate file for each hour of the show)

  • What is "Category" field for?

    In the iTunes List View, you can change or enter info for most columns for a song, for example the name column, by simply clicking in that column. The insertion point appears and you can type or change the name of an item. However, this doesn't happen for the Category field. If you click it, no insertion point appears. Plus, the Category field doesn't appear in the "Get Info" window.
    What is this Category field for?

    I believe Category is mainly used for Podcast tagging where the author of podcasts can categorize the type of podcast. For example, Cartoon, Music, Comedy, Spoken Word, or whatever categories you normally see for podcasts in the Apple Store.
    If you have podcasts, go to the podcasts and turn on the Category header to see what I mean.

  • Cannot change media kind in iTunes 11

    As far as I know, the identifier should be set to something unique for each file, so that iTunes can treat it as a separate episode or whatever. I didn't experiment with giving loads of files the same identifier – not sure what iTunes will do in this case.
    The location should point to the RSS feed where new episodes can be downloaded. For many of you, you won't need to bother setting this.
    Hope this helps.
