OK, here goes with a test for the Podcast system on Typepad.
Let's start with an audio file: It's HERE.
So, here's the thing. You can click that audio file and listen to it as an MP3, or just right-click and download it as you would any MP3 file.
BUT - and it's a big butt, you can also subscribe to the Podcast feed from this Blog. Subscribing in iTunes means that you can automatically have the episodes sent to you as they come out. You can also set them to synchronise with your iPOD so that you can listen to me where you go.
So far so good.
Here's what you do in iTunes:
1) Go to the ADVANCED menu and select “Subscribe to Podcast”.
2) In the box that appears, paste this URL:
http://adlib.blogs.com/andyblog/rss.xml
3) Click OK, and you'll see my Podcast appear in your list, together with any un-listened-to episodes.
4) It should download the test file, but you will need to wait till it is fully downloaded before you can listen. It's downloading from my personal server in the shack here, so it might be quite slow...
OK, let's see if it works!
Well, it works. Took about 5 minutes to download here. Enjoy.
