Hello Mellisa and others who might have some problems with receiving the
Fluxus Podcast. I'll try to explains one or two things... these are same
things I have asked myself earlier...
First a Podcast is nothing more of a way of distributing files, preferable
sound and video files. To receive these files you need a Podcast Catcher...
like Juice, Doppler and also a lot more applications like iTunes. iTunes is
also a very faceted media player with lot's of more functions built in. In
iTunes there is also this built in Podcast receiving function (only the
latest versions though, I think you must have 6... if you have an old iTunes
the Podcast function might not be there)
Now I drop three url:s to differend Podcast Catchers... or as they often
call them Aggregators or Podcast Receivers.
http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/
(multiplatform windows - mac - linux)
http://www.dopplerradio.net/?page_id=64
(for windows)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(for mac - pc)
and here is one about Podcasting in general:
http://www.podcastalley.com/what_is_a_podcast.php
Podcast Alley is also a great place for searching for different podcasts:
http://www.podcastalley.com/index.php
(Walter, maybe you should add address for the Fluxus Podcast here?)
Well and finally... the url:adress ending with xml is not a web-page... this
is the feed for the podcast. This info is to be put into the podcast catcher
to start receive from that special podcaster. In iTunes I think you add it
at podcaster page with "advanced - subscribe to podcast - add then add url -
ok"
For Fluxus Podcast the feed is (=the url to add in podcast catcher):
http://homepage.mac.com/cianciusi/podcast.xml
Sometimes the feeds ends with rss and other things aswell instead of xml but
that I won't get into cause that I can't explain why...
Hope you get some more clues by this above! And yes, there is a bit of hard
work before the podcasting thing fit's in. Some people tend to want to visit
different webpages and there download the mp3's... and that's fine. I do it
too, but that is not what the Podcasting concept is about. It is about to
not need to visit different pages to get the content you want. Huh..?
Anyway, now stop!
:)

Walter, I'm having trouble with the podcast, and the link from your mac
homepage isn't working either...am I doing something wrong, or should I
just try harder?
My laptop will not let me access Walter's site;
But with continued trying it just might.
I hope someday to hear the Fluxus stuff,
But now the going seems to be quite rough!
