Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
The number of podcasts visible on the iTunes Store is a choice made by the podcaster. For newsier things a few is appropriate while for more evergreen things a large number is suitable. The podcasts may still be freely available through other means. On Sun, Feb 24, 2008 at 5:13 PM, mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Some podcasts aren't indexed very far back.

Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
I should have been clearer for others...I think Tom knows what I meant. But if you for example, delete a podcast you subscribe to and then resubscribe it will show you all podcasts it has. This is what may go back days or months or longer. I learned a long time ago not to keep podcasts, they end up taking up gigs of space in no time at all. I used to kill email clients by keeping rss feeds forever...over 100 feeds updating all day...i had tens of thousands of msgs. It's a bad habit I can't break I just transfer. Now I can't seem to delete all the twitter msgs on my phone. Someone called twitter the new irc...i still use the old irc. I won't tell you i have irc logs that go back to '93. That would make me look like I have issues. Mike On Sun, Feb 24, 2008 at 3:54 PM, Tom Piwowar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Some podcasts aren't indexed very far back.

Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
Stephen, Here is my recommendation: 1. Download and install iTunes. 2. Download all the MP3 files you can find for podcasts. 3. Import them into iTunes. 4. update your player via iTunes -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
Tom, Thanks for trying to answer my question but unfortunately your answer needs some translation for this neophyte. In particular 1) What is meant by "mount the iPod as a disk"? 2) What are some of the "several third-party programs"? 3) What is meant by "access the volume"? 4) How does one use FTP? 5) How does seeing the iTunes directories help when I am trying to capture archived files that are not on iTunes? I understand that Yahoo has a capability similar to iTunes. Does anyone know how they compare? Stephen Tom Piwowar wrote: If you mount the iPod as a disk the directories used by iTunes are hidden. However there are several third-party programs that will give you access to them. In fact, if you access the volume using FTP you can see these directories too. I pretty much only use my iPod for podcasts and I've gotten them from many sources. However, I believe you have to transfer them to the iPod via iTunes. Even when I was Windows only I used iTunes to make the transfer. I've never tried using any other method. I know you can see your iPOd as an external disk in My Computer when it's attached so you could theoretically drag the podcast over to that 'drive' but I don't know how you would find it to play it. iTunes is free and works with Windows so that would be the most trouble free way to go. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
I like Paula primarily use my iPod for Podcasts. I also agree with her recommendation on how you can import archived programs into iTunes. I believe the reason iTunes limits what is archived deals with bandwidth and the storage space that the podcaster has associated their feed.

Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
Couple of points. Yes, there are some podcasts which only keep a few recent episodes available at any point in time. Case in point, my favorite, Car Talk, in the iTunes Store shows only the two previous weeks show. So you can't go back and get earlier ones. Once you subscribe, you get the weekly shows and can keep them on your PC, and/or, as in my case, sync them to the iPod. Also, I have found a number of sites which allow you to play their mp3 "podcasts" only through WMP or RealPlayer, not download the mp3 files. This should not be called a podcast, as you can't get the file. What you can do, is to play these "podcasts" real time and capture them in mp3 on your machine using something like Audacity or Total Recorder. This was the method I used to use before Car Talk became available as a podcast.

Re: [CGUYS] Podcast limitation with iPods
Right click and select 'save as' and you should be able to download the file. If it's an mp3 you are fine, if not there are tools to convert.
