IPhone :: Managing Podcasts - App / Software To Sync Podcast And Have It Show Up In Podcast Playlist
May 18, 2010
I'm thinking about getting an iPhone or iPod touch and want to listen to podcasts. With my current MP3 player/software combination I have a problem dealing with podcasts. So I'm wondering if iTunes+iPod/iPhone can do what I want. This is what I'm looking for:
I want to be able to have a playlist containing all podcasts that I haven't listened to. When a new podcast comes out I want to be able to sync with iTunes and have the new podcast get appended to the playlist. Preferably I should not have to choose which podcasts to append. All new podcasts should just be automatically appended. I don't want to have to make a new playlist everytime I download a new podcast and I don't want to lose my place in the playlist. I just want to sync the podcast and have it show up in my podcast playlist. Once I've listened to a podcast I want it to be deleted and taken off of the playlist. Thus the playlist should just act like a queue where podcasts that have been listened to get deleted and new podcasts get appended. I know that iTunes/iPod has some functionality in dealing with podcasts, but can it do all of this? If not, do you know of any device/software combination that can perhaps non-iPod or software for the iPod touch, something like that? If there's an application which can do this without syncing to iTunes, that would be work too.
The blackberry podcast list is limited. This may be a stupid question, but how can I add podcasts to the BlackBerry Podcast App? I can't seem to figure it out.There used to be an option to add a podcast url but that seems to have disappeared.
I have just upgraded to the latest Gingerbread release. The Music app plays podcasts, but it appears that you can only add podcasts which are listed at podcast.com. Is there a way to add a feed manually or do I need to find a less restrictive podcast player app?
how do I make sure the podcast I subscribe to, automatically syncs to my 4S? I subscribed through iTunes on Windows, so would it work just as if I downloaded a song on the computer?
Sometimes I've been getting random messages when I try to download certain podcasts through the itunes app on my iphone that say, "Podcast can not be played on this iPhone" And it will not download or stream the podcast. My phone isn't jail broken and all factory settings, so what is going on here?Is it just a random error in the OS or itunes store? Or did the podcaster actually upload the podcast in the wrong format?I can't imagine Apple even making it possible to upload in the wrong format though, given how controlling they are about the itunes store.Anyone know what is going on?
I've amassed quite a few podcast feeds on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) and wanted to remove them to free up memory on the phone. (I don't syncy through iTunes on my mac, I download them direct to the phone.) I usually just swipe and delete and removed them all last night in this way. But now all podcasts and feeds appear ghosted and can't be played or swiped. The funny thing is, the memory seems to have been freed up, so although they appear ghosted on the phone, are not actually there. I just want to remove the whole list and start again. I've tried the Settings > Usage > Music > Edit route and podcasts ahev doisappeared too.
The podcast app... which worked fine this morning... is crashing in seconds of starting all afternoon. I deleted the app, restarted the phone, and re-loaded the app.how to overcome this?
I just naturally assumed if i delete a podcast straight from the phone, that when i sync, it'll be deleted from iTunes too and poof. No more podcast. I found the opposite. Is deleting stuff one way?
I would like to record an audio track for a podcast, with the iphone 4, I have yet to buy a microphone. Anyone has experience on this? Which microphone I could buy, the IRIG?
I often download podcasts via iTunes, and some of them are showing the track IDs, as chapters. So the chapters have IDs (Artist-Title), for example in an 1 hour set, there is about 12-15 tracks with track names, but now I can't see the track names, only chapter 1, chapter 2 etc. how can i set back to "normal", to see the IDs again ?
So i noticed this morning when trying to download the latest podcast i wanted that it was just broken on my iPhone 4S. I tried everything, quitting the app, restarting the device, updating to the latest firmware that was waiting to be done. None of these things made any difference. I tried with a friends iPhone and he could see podcasts fine, ruling out the servers being down or whatever. I got home and synced my Phone to my mac and got the latest podcasts via iTunes on my Mac. Still this hasn't helped anything either I shot this shaky video to show what happens [URL]I'm a bit at a loss beyond having to fully nuke my phone which is more than a bit inconvenient.
Podcast download is different now than last week. Now it opens up Safari (didn't before - just went to iTunes), gives me an unusual looking download screen (I don't know how to get a screen shot on the iphone or I would show you what the screen looks like), and won't sort by date.
When I click iTunes and then click on podcast it automatically closes iTunes. I can listen to my music but podcast won't play. why is this and how do i fix it?
I can download podcast with my previous 5800 (breaking >_<), but I can't find the podcast feature in C7. Any hint? or the feature is removed by Nokia? Why?
I installed and reinstalled the podcast app several times but every time i open the app all i get is an 'all episodes' option which has no episodes in it. I have no way to browse for podcasts or add new podcast feeds.Options takes me to media options, nothing at all about podcasts.
In my previous E63 there was a nice podcast client Nokia Podcasting. I was surprised when bought E72 and found out that this app is absent! Ok, I went to OviStore and what a bad news that there is no any podcast client there! So do somebody know podcast client for e72? If this forum reads Nokia team - why did you erase it from E72? It also S60 and diffreneces between E63 and E72 are only in feature packs!
I have a C5-03 which I regularly use to download and listen to podcasts.Recently, a very thick exclamation mark appeared next to one of the podcast series, on the main podcast screen (podcasting -> podcasts). The exclamation mark is well to the right of the podcast name, just to the left of where the tick would be if the podcast were marked, which is itself to the left of the slide bar.The exclamation mark has stayed there for a few days, during which I have downloaded, played and deleted several episodes. There is nothing about it in the user guide
i have problem with my music player can't refresh library, so i did what they tell me on this board, delet the .dat file on Private folder on the sd card.and after did that, i restart my 5233 and go to music player. the music player starting to search for music and podcast, but it never end. it has been 14 hours. what should i do? should i go to nokia center?
I was listening to the giantbombcast using the pocketcasts app, and I about 15 minutes in the volume automatically goes down. I turn it back up, and it goes down again, automatically... right away. As soon as I push the volume bar to the right, it swings back to the left. Then, "Ok Google" pops up. It says "say Ok Google" or tap mic". The volume then goes up, then down, then up, then down uncontrollably. Then it stops, and I'm just looking at the Ok Google screen. When I press back to go to the pocketcasts, all of this happens again after 30 seconds. I don't know what is going on here.
All the right boxes are checked- I want it to load four episodes that I haven't listened to yet. Two of them are gray on my device "file type not supported" (they are both mp3s, same as the episodes I've listened to) The last time I attempted to sync, inexplicably it REMOVED all of the podcast episodes from my device, when I was trying to ADD several new ones. Spent an hour on customer service tonight speaking with a fellow who did not seem to understand what a podcast is.
