Ikabob - Like you I have found getting the correct URL to be problematic. It seems to be very random. Some sites are very clear about their subscription URLs and others act like they don't want you to know. Sometimes the subscription URL ends in .xml; others are rss feeds. You sort of have to thrash around and experiment. Sometimes the feed won't play on the radio because it is in a format that requires special proprietorial software to play or because is a video feed. I am afraid that Nancy Grace is a video feed. I couldn't get it to play. An easy way to get the correct feed is to go to http://www.podcastalley.com/index.php and either browse or search for what you want then click on subscribe and up will come a page with the subscription URL in a box. Just past it into the "add a feed" box on the Podcast Player app and add it. You can also try using the Mediafly app. I used for a while but it was so user hostile I gave it up in frustration. But you can use http://mediafly.com/Welcome to get ideas of podcasts that you may want to subscribe to. If you see one you like that has a tiny headphone icon (to indicate audio), you can click on it and where it says "show details" there will be a little orange icon for the rss feed. If you right click on that and copy the location, you can paste that URL into the Podcast Player app and that should subscribe you and that way you can bypass using the Mediafly app if you can't stand it. It is all kind of hit or miss, but what can you expect with everyone in the universe out there on the web doing their own thing. It is really kind of cool, but I keep feeling that I am missing something if I don't listen to them all. I gotta get a grip. -- mpower9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mpower9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33930 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81063
