Hi,
To export a list of your iTunes podcast feeds as an OPML file, select
"Podcasts" in your sources list, then navigate to the File menu on
your iTunes menu bar (VO-M or Control-F2 to move to the menu bar,
press "F"), arrow down and press "L" to move to "LIbrary", right arrow
to the Library submenu, then arrow down to "Export Playlist…" and
press return. In the dialog window that appears you can choose a name
for your exported file and a location. Most Podcast programs use OPML
files to import/export feed subscriptions, so you should choose "OPML"
for the format by navigating (VO Right Arrow) to the pop up button
next to "Format", pressing it (VO-Space), and then either pressing "O"
or arrowing down to "OPML".
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

It doesn't look like itunes has a function for exporting your
podcast feeds. However, you can move the feeds' URLs over one at a
time.
1. Select an episode of a podcast in itunes.
2. Hit VO-shift-m, and choose "copy podcast feed."
3. navigate over to Xcast, and hit command-n to bring up the dialog
for adding a new feed.
4. Paste the URL in the box with command-v.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each podcast you want to transfer from
itunes.
6. Once you copy all your feeds over, interact with the first table
and select all the feeds with command-a.
7. Hit VO-shift-m and and select "get info."
8. under "automatic download," choose "all new available" in the
pop-up menu. That will cause Xcast to download new episodes
whenever Xcast refreshes.
9. Hit command-, to bring up the prefferences dialog.
10. Navigate to the tool bar and interact with it.
11. Choose "Feeds" and stop interacting with the tool bar.
12. Activate the pop-up menu, and decide how often you want Xcast
to check for new episodes. I have mine set to check every 30 minutes.
13. Back in the tool bar, choose "enclosures."
14. Hit the "change" button to change where Xcast saves your
downloads.
15. Under "default Automatic Enclosures Download," choose "all new
available" from the pop-up menu.
16. I have my maximum concurrent downloads set to 8. You might
want to set it to something lower, depending on your internet
connection. See how the program behaves for you.
Good luck, and email me with any other questions you have.
Onward!

Try Xcast http://xcast.ch/
It's a dedicated podcast subscribing tool and it works with
VoiceOver.

Hi all,
First I'd like to thank those who answered my previous question
by recommending ChronoSync. It's great for keeping the music and
podcasts folders on my stream's SD Card synchronized with the
computer. It does even better than AllwaySync did on windows.
Now I'm looking for some software for downloading podcasts. I
suppose I could still use ITunes for this, but I'd like something
small and fast that is designed to do one thing well. ITunes is
just over-featured and a little slow, the only Mac application
I've seen yet that I would call bloated.
I loved to use Juice Receiver on windows, it was very accessible
and it was easy to tell which files had been newly downloaded.
Unlike ITunes, I could tell Juice exactly where to keep the files
so that the AllwaySync application could keep it in sync with the
card. Unfortunately the OSX version of Juice is far less
accessible. Voiceover identifies almost every control as unknown.
It isn't being developed any longer so there is nobody I can
contact.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Justin
