« Your Voice is Heard in Nokia Podcasting Directories. | Main | Part 2: Hints for Personalized Search Result Feed (Podzinger) »
One of the things heavy users are asking for is a better way to manage their subscribed feeds. Until we get those features into our code, here is the first part of a series about some killer alternatives which should make your mobile podcasting experiences even better.
![]()
Setup all your favourite podcasts online. Its a little bit of work to get this setup and typing your new RSS or OPML into the Nokia Podcasting client, but once you do it...it rocks.
a. Sign in and Log in.
b. Add the URLs of your favourite RSS feeds. (or import your favourite OPML) The latest episodes of these feeds will now be ready to listen on the PC in one player. Cool! But we're not done yet.
c. Scroll down and find links to three different feeds:
i. A RSS feed with the newest episode per subscription
ii. A RSS feed with the episodes that you seperately added to 'PodNova podcast episodes for [your username]'
iii. An OPML feed with all episodes from all your subscriptions
d. Open your Nokia Podcasting app on your device. Open PODCASTING. Choose "OPTIONS". Choose "NEW PODCAST".
Type in that monster URL from the first RSS link that you see on your Podnova page. (This is the not so fun part. but its worth it.)
e. Now, you will get an updated Feed called "Podcasts for (Your Name)". This will put all the latest episodes of your favourtie podcasts into one feed.
One they are there, open the feed and use "OPTIONS" , then "MARK" or "MARK ALL" to manually choose which episodes to download.
Try it out and let us know what you think.
(PodNova is not afflicated with Nokia. The solutions just happens to work pretty great with Nokia Podcasting. Since Valentines Day is coming up, we want to share the love.)

Hi. This might be the wrong place to ask this question, but is there a way to schedule the podcasting app to automatically download selected podcasts at a specified time. Very often, I am not connected, want to listen to a show, but forgot to download the latest episode. It would be great to set things up so, for example, at 1am each night, the phone automatically connects to my wireless network at home and downloads my shows onto the mem card for consumption on the train ride to work :-)

I also would appreciate optional automatic cleanup of old episodes after a certain amount of podcasts or disk space consumption has been reached... What about a scheduler that could start the whole application and updating&downloading process in the middle of the night?

Posted by: shital jethva | August 17, 2007 04:16 PMA web feed is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation, which is performed by an Internet aggregator.
Posted by: web development India | September 14, 2007 03:11 PMExcellent tip, guys! I was able to create a single feed with the newest episodes of my favorite podcasts. Worked like a charm. The only bit where I had trouble was with the part "c. Scroll down and find links to three different feeds..." Took me a little poking around to figure that one out... in podnova, you have to find the link titled "Your PodNova Feeds" (near the top of the page) in order to get the "monster" URL for the latest episodes. Also, one suggestion to try (I didn't do it): E-mail or SMS yourself the URL and then copy and paste into the Podcasting app? Would this ease the "pain?"
Again, thanks folks, the N95 ROCKS, and Podcasting makes it all the better!!
Posted by: cardo | November 6, 2007 07:58 PMit was really useful information for me, thanks a lot.
Posted by: Jane | March 5, 2008 12:07 PMWe met Steven at Midem 2006 at the Nokia booth. We were blown away by the podcasting application and Steven was able to review our content. We have lost contact with Steven and would like to communicate with him. Steven PLEASE RESPOND to Rick Oneil at rick@downsoundrecords.com.
