anybody know why itunes couldn't deliver the email show?

[vwlfan]

I tried to upload from the file I saved from Mike's web to Itunes but had no luck on getting it to the Iphone.

It still isn't on Itunes.

Can't help on why it isn't on iTunes but I can help getting it onto your iPhone.
Just sync your phone and look for it in your regular music library (not on podcasts).

Itunes uses an XML (RSS) feed to provide a bookmark of where to download the shows from. The shows are downloaded from the DIS servers (wdwinfo.com). If Itunes does not have that bookmark for the show, then Itunes does not have a roadmap on how to find the new podcasts when they come out. The flash player on the DIS will play what every is uploaded into it's "player directory." The flash player will almost always be the first to have the show published due to not having to generate an extra file. To make the RSS feed for Itunes and those us that use a RSS news reader, One of the folks at the DIS has to generate a new RSS feed with the new data (normally this can be done with running a script or a small RSS feed generator). Until that RSS in updated, Itunes will not see the new podcast as a "for Itunes" podcast. Following Jeff's instructions will get the show on on your Iphone/Ipod , but it will put it in with your regular mp3's and not with your normal podcasts.

Hope that helps!

Has there been an email show since 11/19?

I checked hte XML feed that iTunes uses - definitely no email program since 11/19 in there.

The email show button under "This Week's Show" on the main site also links to the 11/19 show.

Interesting...Alex/Corey/Pete/Kevin, any ideas why the email show doesn't appear to be fully posted?

I can't even get it to download to my computer. It will only allow me to listen to it "live." I use a Mac. Also, when I try to click on the link in Safari, it causes Safari to crash.

Sooo is there any way to get it on my ipod (not iphone)? I listen to it at the gym, not at my computer!

 

[mainegal]

I somehow was able to download the email show to my computer.
It ended in the music folder of iTunes. But it would not sync to my iPod.
Very annoying!

 

[mainegal]

In the time I could not download the DIS email show, I have downloaded All About the Mouse, Be Our Guest, WDW Today, and WDW Radio Show.

 

[SamSam]

I've never had trouble with getting the e-mail show on i-Tunes, but like the rest of you, this weeks show doesn't want to load.

 

[Blumonkeyboy]

Go to more information of the audio file in itunes, change genre to podcast. It should show up as a podcast now.

I don't use iTunes to collect my podcasts. Instead I use Google Reader. If you already have an account with Google (gmail, wave, calendar, docs, etc) you can use that username and password to sign in. If not it is free. Just add a subscription to the following RSS address:

http://www.wdwinfo.com/podcast/unplugged.xml

Whenever there is a thread about not getting the podcast I can always get it from this address. The DIS may use feedburner for their iTunes feed, I'm not sure. If they do feedburner had a couple of issues last week.

If you do manually download the podcast you can use Windows to change the ID3 info to whatever you would like. When you drag and drop it into iTunes it will show up as music and not a podcast, but that is ok, just make sure to set the Artist as something you know. I use Disney Podcasts.

Lastly, as most of you know music doesn't remember where you left off if you go to another track and starts over. This is annoying with podcasts. In iTunes (8 at least, I don't use 9) just right click on the track you uploaded, select 'Get Info', go to the options tab, and check the box for 'Remember Playback Position'.

This is what iTunes uses, and the XML feed still does not have the email show (I'm reading the XML directly).
