Subscribe+Via+iTunes

Subscribing to a podcast site means that instead of visiting lots of podcast sites every day to check for new podcasts and then manually download them you can get them downloaded automatically, every time a new podcast is released on the site. The easiest way to subscribe to podcasts is to use a podcatcher (i.e. podcast reciever). A podcatcher is specialized software or online application for subscribing to the podcast site's RSS feeds. Most people use podcatchers that facilitates the automatic downloading of the podcast from the feed onto a portable device (e.g. iPod, Video iPod, MP3/MP4 player).
 * Subscribing to Podcasts**

The most commonly used Podcatchers are [|Juice] and [|iTunes]. Which podcatcher you use is a personal choice. Many suggest that if you have an iPod then you use iTunes to subscribe to your podcasts; definitely for those less into technology probably using iTunes if you have an iPod is possibly the better way to go. Personally I like to use Juice (even though I have an iPod) because I find I have better control over my podcast subscriptions; and my podcasts are automatically transferred to my library in iTunes any way (but not into my podcast folder).

How to use iTunes
1. Download and install [|iTunes].

2. Locate a podcast site that you want to subscribe to. Scroll down the podcast page and locate the RSS feed. With podomatic podcasts you will need to click on the RSS feed to locate the feed URL.



Note on some sites you will see an iTunes icon. If you click on this image it should automatically subscribe you to the feed from this page.



3. The RSS feed will open another page. Ignore the text on the page. You just need to copy and paste the feed address to iTunes.



4. Open iTunes and click on Podcast under library. (If podcast is not display go to Edit > Preferences > General and make sure Podcasts is ticked).

5. Now go to Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast. Paste the feed address into the **Subscribe to Podcast** field.
