Subscribing to podcast without itunes

Hey everyone
I produce a podcast, which is going really well! I'm starting to do some advertising and I'm creating a webpage that explains how to get the show. I've shown a option where the user can get the show without itunes but I don't know the best way to do this. I was wondering if anyone has a program or website that has a simple way for windows users to subscribe to podcast?
Thanks
Bevan

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Podcasts without iTunes

This has probably been asked and answered but my cursory searches didn't find the answer.
I have an iPod Mini whose music library I manage at home. That's just how I want it. But I also want to be able to load podcasts into it at work (during lunch, for example) without installing iTunes on my work computer.
Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to do all my updating from one computer that has iTunes?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
I don't believe you can put podcasts on your iPod without iTunes.
Of course, here's a way you can put them on using iTunes:
Connect your iPod to your computer.
Go to Edit->Preferences->iPod, and select your setting to "manually manage music". That way, you can go under the "Podcasts" directory (over in the left source area), Select certain episodes with "Shift", then drag-and-drop them under the name of your iPod.
Any more questions? I hope to help you again.

Subscribe to podcast outside itunes store?

This should be so simple and a very desired feature. I want to create a private video podcast feed for my family to see our home videos. I would like to subscribe to a video podcast url directly from Apple TV without syncing to a computer or publishing my podcast url with itunes.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem with my podcast. The last two episodes haven't shown up yet in the iTunes store. My feed (http://www.earstohearpodcast.com/feed/) is working fine. Subscribers get new episodes, etc, etc, but no matter how many times I ping iTunes, the new episodes just won't show up on my page (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=209667115). I don't know whether it's a problem with iTunes that will resolve itself, or if there's anything else I can do about it... it's a bit frustrating, though. If anyone has any ideas, they would certainly be appreciated.

I can't find and download subscribed audio podcasts in iTunes on my pc.

I am running iTunes on a Windows 7 pc. I have a podcast subscription to the Kim Komando show (audio podcast). I've been downloading the shows for several years. today, I tried to get the last 5 or 6 shows. When I click refresh, nothing happens. I tried deleting a bunch of old shows, but it still won't show the October shows, so I can't get them.
I brought up itunes on a Mac and there, itunes does show the october shows and I've been able to get them there.
I would still like to know why I can't get them on the pc.

I have found the problem myself. At the top of the 1st column (the one with the blue dots) there was a black circle with an ! in it. I clicked it and it said it had stopped updates to this show due to not listening to any in a long time, do I want to continue updating it, yes or no. I chose yes and it's all good now.

Why no "Subscribe to Podcast" capability in Apple TV 2.0?

I want to be able to subscribe to a podcast from my new Apple TV 2.0 (just purchased this week) and have it kept up to date for me without me having to have a subscription to it from iTunes on one of my computers. I am disappointed that this capability seems to be missing from Apple TV 2.0. I know for other media you don't want the Apple TV to be the only place it resides, but to me, these podcasts are ephemeral. I watch them, I delete them, and I don't need backups of them. If something went wrong with the Apple TV and I lost some podcasts that were on there, I don't care. I primarily got the Apple TV to simplify obtaining and watching these podcasts, so the lack of this capability is (almost) enough to make me want to return it ...

I agree completely. The whole point of podcasts is that you subscribe to them, forget it, then return later....voila! You have new content waiting for you. The fact that you have to keep going to the podcast directory or favorite podcast list to download the newest episode ruins the whole idea.
The way Apple TV deals with podcasts is analogous to having to call up the New York Times every time you want the newest paper delivered. What gives??
I'm aware of the fact that I can subscribe to podcasts in iTunes and set my ATV to sync with my laptop, but isn't ATV supposed to be a standalone device now? My whole reason for purchasing an ATV after the update was that I thought this was a way I could free up some HD space on my laptop and keep all the big media files like video podcasts on the AppleTV alone. I'm pretty disappointed that I can't.
I should have stuck to what I was doing before: using Miro to aggregate podcasts, then plug my laptop into the plasma with a DVI to HDMI cable.
Apple please fix this in version 2.1 so I don't feel like I just wasted $330!

Podcasts in itunes not showing up in podcasts

I have podcasts in itunes, they are not synch'd to the podcasts folder (for lack of better word) on the ipod. they show up in the main playlists.
Anyone have any idea why? or how to solve?

Richard Wood (bis) wrote:
When you say you "have podcasts", how did the files get on to your computer?
I have subscribed to Podcasts in iTunes and I can confirm that (like RobHoward7) I also have some of those Podcasts showing up in the *Music library*, but mine also appear in the *Podcasts library* . I was under the impression that all the tags in a Podcast were added by the Podcast's creator, not iTunes. This is because Podcasts are not specific to iTunes and not controlled by iTunes, it simply lists them and +goes off to download them+ if asked for by the user. If so, that seems to suggest that it's not iTunes at fault.

As a workaround, you may want to just create custom playlists...
As an enthusiast of Podcasts, I can say that for various reasons workarounds are definitely not the answer.
My older iPod, (30Gb video) has just returned from "battery replacement surgery" (well actually, the whole thing has been replaced, not repaired) and now some Podcasts are showing up in the music library whereas they did not do so before the repair. Perhaps this is a software problem, because I noticed that my "replacement" iPod has a different model number to the one I gave them.

Subscribe to podcasts on iPad 2? Anyone?!

Hi, at the risk of a blindingly obvious question..... Is there a way to subscribe to podcasts in iTunes on iPad 2? Or have them auto-update when the next new podcast is available? Seems a bit weird each time having to go in to iTunes to manually get the latest editions of the podcasts I like.... Any help / advice appreciated!

No.
Podcasts subscriptions can be done with iTunes on your computer.

Download podcast without subscribing to it?

Before iTunes 9 I was able to search a podcast, find an epidsode, and click the "Free" button to download just that episode without having to subscribe to the entire podcast.
Come iTunes 9, which is supposed to be a more advanced version, and the "Free" button doesn't work at all unless you have subscribed to that podcast. How can I download a single episode of a podcast without subscribing to it?

Go to the website where the podcast is hosted and download it from there. Yeah, it's a pain in the *** to have to do that, but it's still doable.

Is it legal to subscribe podcast from itunes US if i am not american?

i kind of saw a term that said :"The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." in REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE of B. ITUNES STORE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
so does it means it's not legal to access american store if i am not a american? i know it may be legal to purchase music or apps there.But is it exclude subscribe podcast？coz we dont even need an account if we wanna subscribe podcast from itunes store US.
PS:i found FAQ about podcast http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/fanfaq.html in apple's official website. although it's still a US webpage.
How can I find podcasts in my language?
To see podcasts that are popular in other countries, click on the Home icon to go to the main page for the iTunes store. At the bottom of the main page is a My Store menu that allows you to switch to different stores. Once in the desired store, navigate to the Podcasts page. In the Top Podcasts list, for example, you will find podcasts popular in that country“
Does it means it's okay it's legal to access other country's itunes store?
Someone one help me ... THX!

The iTunes Store does not host podcasts themselves, only links to them, so you can probably find a direct link to any given podcast by searching the web. Then you can see what terms the providers of the podcast has, if any, for who can access it.

Does subscribing to a podcast on iTunes and Podcasts app result in duplicates on my iPhone

If I subscribe to a podcast on iTunes and also subscribe to it on the Podcasts app then sync my iPhone (with podcast syncing turned on), will it result in two copies of the episodes on my iPhone?

Same here. I just posted a question too.

Subscribe to podcast feeds in iTunes from Mozilla Firefox

In Mozilla Firefox, how can I add iTunes as an application to subscribe to podcast feeds, so that it shows as an option in the drop-down menu of the preview page? I've selected the iTunes.exe file through the "Choose Application" option, iTunes shows as an option, I select it and when I click on "Subscribe Now" iTunes opens but it does not add the new subscription. I am running Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, iTunes 10.1.0.54 Thank you!

You can add directories to podcast application to use for searching.
Or you can enter the RSS url to add new podcasts.
No directory has ALL the podcasts out there. You need to search and add.

ITunes not showing GET prompt next to gray podcast that have not been down loaded. This is an subscribed to podcast. I click on it and it will download ... but where is the GET icon

Not seeing the GET icon in the podcast window along the shaded(gray) podcast names in the window containing a subscribed to podcast. Now if I click on one of these podcast it will download. Typical behavior was that I would see a handful of podcast and if I choose to I could select GET ALL or individually select GET to download independent podcast.

There are only App Store/Books/Podcasts and ITune U on my Itunes store heading without MUSIC, why?

There are only App Store/Books/Podcasts and ITune on my Itune store heading, why? This means I cannot order music as a Hong Kong subscriber?

That's correct. It seems that music is not yet available in the Hong Kong store.
