Saving podcasts on cd

Hello
I wonder if it is possible to save the podcasts I have in my Itunes on a cd, and if yes how? It does not seem to work as music...
Help!

Make a playlist of the podcasts you want to burn to a CD. Select the playlist. Click the burn button in the lower right corner and follow the prompts.

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:

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!

Transition to 11.1 deleted saved podcasts

Don't know how, but my upgrading to iTunes 11.1 deleted dozens of saved podcasts and deleted a couple of podcast subscriptions, while adding some others. Weird. Apple store Genius Bar had no idea. They only recommended a one on one account. What's going on? Just note- I have 1 Apple iTunes account, shared on 3 computers (for me, wife and son). Is that where the confusion arises?

Where do I see "saved podcasts" (iTunes 11.2)

Installed iTunes 11.2. I'm not sure how I access my "saved podcasts". Where do they show up? Are all podcasts that are not deleted implicitly "saved podcasts"?

In 11.0.3 a command+click on the artwork thumbnail in the progress/player area at the top of the iTunes window opens the large artwork viewer that can be expanded to fit the screen.

Why do I have saved podcasts on my iphone when I haven't saved any podcasts?

A fairly basic question - Why do I have saved podcasts on my iphone when I haven't saved any podcasts?
And a possibly related question "Why do podcasts I have deleted from my phone often reappear, but in the cloud?".
And finally "How is the podcast app supposed to work?" and "Why doesn't apple even try to explain aspects of the app (i.e what "My Episodes", "Feed" and "Saved" is meant to mean).

Good morning mickp99,
I'm going to start with your third question first ... there are two main ways to learn about our apps. The first is the main product support page for the app online. The second is the user manual for the device (your iPhone). Here are the resources for the Podcasts app. The answers to questions one and two above may lie in the settings you have for downloading and syncing the podcasts you are seeing. I've highlighted some key information for you below. Click on the links for complete information.
iOS Apps - Podcasts - Apple Support

Podcasts app for iOS: Browsing and searching - Apple Support
Podcasts app for iOS: Stream, download, and subscribe to podcasts - Apple Support
Downloading
If you download a podcast episode, a copy of the episode is stored on your iOS device so you can play it anytime you like even if there's no Internet connection.
Browse or Search for a podcast.
Tap a podcast to view details.
Tap the download icon next to an episode.
The podcast will start to download and will appear in My Podcasts. When you use a cellular data connection, the maximum download size is 100 MB per episode.
Subscribing
You can subscribe to your favorite podcasts. Whenever a new episode is available your iOS devices will get them automatically.
Browse or Search for a podcast.
Tap a podcast to view details.
Tap Subscribe.
Once you subscribe to a podcast it will appear in My Podcasts. The latest episode of the podcast will also begin to download.
Podcasts app for iOS: Managing subscriptions - Apple Support
My Podcasts
Once you subscribe to a podcast, it'll appear in My Podcasts in the Podcasts app. Different parts and features of My Podcasts are described below.
View: Swipe down with one finger to switch between tile or list view.
Edit: Tap Edit to delete any podcast you're subscribed to or rearrange the order that your podcasts appear.
Subscription Details: When you tap a podcast that you're subscribed to, you can view the latest unplayed episodes under the Unplayed tab. If you tap Feed, you'll see all available episodes. If you've saved any episodes of podcasts you'll be able to view those under the Saved tab.
Notification badges: Once you've subscribed to a podcast, you may notice a badge on the Podcasts app. This shows the number of podcast episodes newly available since you last opened the app. Once you open the app, the badge will disappear until new podcast episodes are available.
If you're browsing your subscriptions in My Podcasts, you'll see red badges next to your podcasts if you're in tile view or just a number next to each podcast in list view. These badges show you the number of episodes of each podcast that are unplayed.
Settings
There are two places you can change subscription settings for your podcasts.
Default settings: From your Home screen, tap Settings and then Podcasts. These settings are shared by all of your podcast subscriptions. These are known as default podcast settings.
Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically if your iOS device is connected to Wi-Fi.
Delete Played Episodes: If this is turned on, episodes will delete 24 hours after you finish playing them.
Use Cellular Data: If your iOS device has a cellular connection, you can allow downloads to use cellular data when Wi-Fi isn't available. This is off by default. Downloads using cellular data are limited to 100MB per episode. If an episode is larger than that, it won't start downloading until you're connected to Wi-Fi.
Podcast-specific settings: The second place you'll find subscription settings is within the Podcasts app. Tap a podcast subscription under My Podcasts and pull down with one finger to reveal the settings buttons. These settings are unique to each subscription. If you don't change anything here, the podcast subscription will just use the default settings. If you do make changes to a specific subscription’s settings, they'll only apply to that podcast.
Play: This setting lets you change the order in which a subscription plays. If you're listening to a news style podcast, you may want to set this to play the new episodes first. If the series is more episodic, you may prefer to play oldest to newest.
Sort Order: This changes the sort order of episodes that appear for a podcast (not its playback order).
Subscribed: When this is on, new episodes of this podcast will be marked as unplayed as they become available.
Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically.
Delete Played Episodes: If this is on, episodes will be deleted 24 hours after you finish playing them unless you've marked them as Saved.
Inactive subscriptions
If you do not play or access a subscription within 15 days, your subscription to that podcast will go inactive and you will no longer receive updates to it. As soon as you access the subscription again it will refresh.

Stations
When you create a station in iTunes on your computer or in the Podcasts app for iOS, it will appear on your other devices. Any station settings you change will also sync to your devices. If you delete a station on one of your devices, it’ll delete on every other device too.
Playback position
Podcasts can remember your playback position between devices and computers, so you can always start where you left off. If Sync Podcasts is on for your iOS device, playback position will sync. However, you might need to turn on this setting in iTunes on your Mac or PC.
Select iTunes > Preferences.
Click the Store tab.
Select "Sync playback information across devices." It may take a few minutes to sync.
Transfer episodes and playlists
Podcast episodes on one device don't automatically download to your other devices. If you want all your downloaded episodes to appear on your other devices, you'll need to sync your iOS devices to your computer over Wi-Fi or with a USB cable.
Connect your iOS device to your Mac or PC with iTunes.
Click the Podcasts tab.
Choose which downloaded podcasts should appear on your iOS devices.
To sync a playlist of podcasts to your iOS devices, select it under "Include Episodes from Playlists." The playlist will appear in My Stations in the Podcasts app for iOS.

Saving podcast with artwork

Hi -
Every time I try to save a podcast I have made with artwork, the artwork doesn't show up when I play the file. I've tried exporting to disk, to iTunes... to no avail.
Can anybody give me any help?
Thanks!

What format are you saving to? MP3? It won't work. M4a? It should be there. Try using this utility instead.

Saving Podcasts

I have a 30GB iIPod Video and my old PC nuked itself before I could backup anything on it so I have set my iPod up so I manually update any music tracks. However I cannot drag and drop podcasts. I don't want to lose the podcasts on my iPod which will happen if music and podcasts are synced automatically. Although a pain I don't mind re burning my CDs but is there any way I can save the podcasts that are on my iPod but not in my new Library?

Thanks, I take it there is no way to put a 'keep' on individual podcasts then, so it's a matter of saving them all and then deleting individually from iTunes?
Yep, sadly most podcast settings apply to all podcasts, although asking a computer to actively delete things on a periodic basis can be a recipe for disaster so it might be just as well. It's a shame, however, that you can't auto-dowload every episode of some podcasts while selecting which episodes to download from others.

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.

Saving podcasts as playlists + sync to iPod

Trouble moving podcasts to playlist. My attempts are thwarted by some internal logic I do not understand.
Also, I dragged and dropped several podcasts to a custom playlist. These display on my laptop but only 30% sync to the iPod.
What's that about?
Chris

Sorry, I have no answer for you either as I am just experiencing this myself. I've been having major issues with my (6 month old, btw) iPod lately and wonder if it's time to restore?
I keep having to reset it and every time I try to start it back up, it crashes. I'm guessing a restore will help this but was also wondering if it will help the podcast issue too?

Can I transfer a podcast library from a Nano to iTunes?

My library on my computer appeared to have been corrupted and I have wiped out the podcast library on my iPad. My Nano is still clean and I seem to have iTunes working again. Is it possible to transfer saved podcasts from the Nano back into the library on the computer?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. File>Devies>Transfer Purchases

Figuring out podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and iOS 7.

Like many here, I'm dismayed by some of the ways that iTunes 11.1 now handles podcasts: that appalling view of "SHOW ME EVERYTHING" in the List pane in particular.
What I'm providing here are a few tips and suggestions for things that seem to be working for me.
In iTunes: List view is now basically useless, so lots of us are moving to the previously-disliked My Podcasts pane. (I don't like it either, but it currently seems the best option.) Your podcasts are probably in no order whatsoever, BUT you can drag and drop them to your preferred order. Yeah, this takes a while and is annoying, but a good part of the (improved?) syncing with iOS: the same order will also appear in your Podcasts app on the iPhone! And vice versa: I actually reordered them on my iPhone (hey, I was bored on the subway), and to my surprise the new order appeared on iTunes when I got home.
Deleting podcast episodes: in iTunes, don't delete them. If you delete them, they'll download again the next time you sync. Instead, mark them as played, and then re-sync - that's the only way I've found to get rid of them in iTunes. On the other hand, you CAN still delete in the Podcasts app, and then, once iTunes is synced again, those deleted episodes will also disappear from iTunes (which I believe is actually an improvement). (They'll still appear in that stupid List view, but now with a cloud icon.)
In iTunes, you can choose the podcast subscription settings: the option that seems to work best for me is Download ALL. That sounds scary - like you're going to get all 400 episodes of Stuff You Should Know - but as best I can tell it doesn't mean Download All; it means Download ALL NEW (big difference!). This is especially useful for podcasts that often put out a few episodes at a time (Fresh Air, Bill Maher): if you just Download Most Recent, you'll be missing some.
Note that podcast subscription settings seem to automatically sync across iTunes and the Podcasts app. If you unsubscribe in Podcasts, then you also unsubscribe in iTunes. (I suspect this lies behind how many people suddenly found themselves unsubscribed to their Podcasts.)
For those with a big collection of podcast episodes that they want to keep: change the Media Kind! Spoken, I change to Audiobooks, and Music, to, well, Music. I've done this for years, and this is probably the only reason I didn't lose massive collections of podcasts with 11.1. It makes managing your library a lot easier. EDITTED ADDITIONAL NOTE: Unfortunately any epsidodes that are changed like this will then be re-downloaded, because, well, because iTunes wants to make your life miserable, I guess. Mark the re-downloaded episodes as played (because deleting doesn't work ), and they'll disappear again.
Use smart playlists. "Media Kind = Podcast", and "Plays = 0". Such a playlist is more useful for viewing than anything left in the Podcasts section in iTunes, although unfortunately you can't refresh from that playlist - you still have to go to the now-appalling Podcasts section.
Using the Podcasts iOS app isn't actually that bad. "My Stations" is the foolish name for what is called "Playlists" everywhere else, and your iTunes podcast playlists should appear there (with the usual too-complicated syncing nonsense for setup). You can play podcasts quite well in "My Stations", although unfortunately you can't mix it with audiobooks or music.
Good luck.

So, yesterday I downloaded three episodes of a podcast that I used to subscribe to. (Months ago I had subscribed and had listened to these podcasts, but they were all removed from iTunes.)
I listened to one of them partway through.
Shut off the computer last night. Started up today, and started up iTunes. The three episodes are gone.
The podcast is still listed on the left hand side, but there are no episodes. They are not in the trash. They are not in my library in the folder Podcasts.
Other podcasts are there and seem to be complete (but I have so many podcasts that I'm not sure). They seem to play just fine.
I did not listen to this podcast on any other device that I used last night (iPhone, iPad). I believe I opened the Podcasts app on the iPhone, but I didn't play anything.
The only thing I did was turn on iTunes Match, which should have no effect as it only affects music.
I do not trust my iTunes library any longer.
Clearly, things are screwed up. When I was looking on my disk for the files, I discovered that the podcast still has a folder there, complete with episodes that I deleted long ago. It's totally out of sync with what iTunes is reporting.
Maybe it's time to "nuke and pave" my iTunes library. I wish I had a spare few hours to research how to do this safely and without screwing up iTunes match and my saved podcasts. Given the problems people are reporting with podcasts, however, maybe it's not possible to do this without risking podcasts. Grrr.
Edited to add:
The podcast settings are:
Subscribed unchecked
Keep: All
Download: All
I just closed iTunes and reopened it. The three episodes have disappeared again.

Podcasts won't save

I've had an iPod mini for about 2 years and last year I started saving podcasts on it. At first they were all fine but now the most recent one will save in "Podcasts" along with naybe 3 or 4 others and the rest of the 20 or so will only save in songs. The other podcasts (all the same podcasts with different dates) will only save in itunes and won't upload onto my ipod at all! It seems to happen completely randomly- one will be on the iPod and the next time i plug it into my computer it won't!
Any ideas?

1. Do the podcasts categorize as songs both in iTunes and the iPod, or just iTunes? If it is just in iTunes, you might want to go to the iTunes for Windows forums, as you may get more help there.
2. What are your preferences set to (for both iTunes and iPod) regarding Podcasts?
3. Have you specifically tried to add those Podcasts listed as songs to your iPod? (enabling Manual Updating and dragging the podcast/song to the iPod?)
Post back with as much detail as possible!

Podcasts is using up all my storage, but I can't delete it.

How can I stop Podcasts from taking up too much space? I get a "Storage Almost Full Message," which shows 736 KB taken up by Podcasts. However, when I go to this app, it shows no saved Podcasts. What can I do?

Howdy Lise,
It sounds like you are concerned about the 736 KB in storage you are seeing that your Podcasts app is using. That is a tiny amount of space less than a megabyte. I would recommend you look for other places to delete data from. This article will help you locate other apps that are using space so you can check that out:
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Synching podcasts to new computer

I just got a new computer and am transferring music and photos to the new computer and want to use this one as the computer to synch my video Ipod to. But I want to take all of my saved Podcasts from the old computer to the new one and not lose them off the ipod. Is there a way to do this? I tried to connect to the new computer and lost all of the podcasts, but recovered them when I resynched to the old computer.
Thanks!

I haven't tried it yet, but this looks like the answer

IPad podcast downloading..

using WiFi on my iPad2 i am saving podcasts then loading these podcast onto my iMac computer. However once saved my computer the podcasts have no names, just numbers? I have updated both the computers and the pad software and both are working well, but I cannot tell what podcast I have as they are just saved as numbers? Any ideas??

The podcasts are downloaded with names in the form of XXXX.mp3. Whatever name that was given to them on the original website is the name that will be downloaded and added to your music files on the iPad.
This has happened to me, and my solution was to do the reverse of what you are doing: Download the podcast to your computer first, then rename the .mp3 file in iTunes (easy), then sync with the iPad. Using this method, the name YOU give it is what will show up on the iPad.
