I don't seem to be able to subscribe to the Editorial - MP3 podcast in iTunes on my Mac. Here's the feed URL...

http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Xml/Rss/Articles/Editorial+-+MP3/

iTunes says the feed doesn't contain content playable in iTunes? Yet it will play MP3s? Is there something up with the feed, something I need to do different, or what?! Would love to be able to subscribe....

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

That URL is an RSS XML feed, not an MP3 link. I'm not on a Mac, but think this is the link you want - http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=268045050

If not, I'm able to get a subscription option in ITunes by going to the ITunes store and searching for "voice of the dba".

Regards,

Abbs

The feed we have here is missing an enclosure tag. We have that on the list to add, but it's not simple for a variety of reasons.

I don't have an MP3 feed on iTunes, but I can add one. We have a video feed at the URL: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=268045050, which pulls an MP4 down. I think you can listen to that as an audio only, however.

Hi guys

Have managed to subscribe to the Voice of the DBA video podcast through iTMS - thanks.

I think having an MP3 podcast would be great... I know I frequently listen to Hanselminutes while doing other things, and I have a feeling the VoaDBA video will just be distracting :)

Cheers

Dan
