I ran across this gem from The PodLounge while surfing the internet.

If anyone else out there is developing things that work with Nokia Podcasting, please let us know. Cool stuff like this puts a smile on my face.

From The PodLounge Forum:

For those of you with a Nokia mobile, the Nokia Podcasting Application is a real treat.

What's more - you can easily set The PodLounge to be your directory of choice for podcast searches:

Within the application go to: Options> Settings> Connection> Search Service URL and type in the following URL:

http://mobile.thepodlounge.com/nokia_search.php?q=#

____

By following the above instructions, the next time you use the SEARCH feature, it will utilize ThePodLounge's directories. (Current default is from our friends at www.DigitalPodcast.com)

The ability to manually change your default Search directory is another way to personalize your mobile podcasting experience to get the content most relevant to your needs. Thanks to the PodLounge for offering this.

You can download Nokia Podcasting from the link above or click here to get detailed instructions.

Looks like some more Podcast directory owners are offering additional SEARCH options which are compatible with Nokia Podcasting. Check them out and leave comments with your feedback.

You can update your Search default settings as follows:
Nokia Podcast>Options>Settings>Connection>Search Service URL, then type in one of the following URLs:

Podsonoro (Spanish Podcast Directory Search)
http://www.podsonoro.com/searchservice/?keywords=#&format=rss

YouLoud
http://www.youloud.com/searchservice/?keywords=#&format=rss

If there are any problems, you can restore the default;
Nokia Podcast>Options>Settings>Restore Default

The Nokia Podcasting application uses the search engine provided by DigitalPodcast.com.

If you are a Podcaster and would like Nokia Podcasting to be able to search for your show for free, register to DigitalPodcast.com and then choose "Add Podcast". When your podcast is accepted, it will be searchable from the Nokia Podcasting application.

For more information about this search, visit DigitalPodcast.com "Podcast Search Service"

Nokia Podcasting also lets you add your own favourite compatible search engines. (Podcasting Main > Options >Settings > Connection > Search Service URL )

An example of another compatible search engine is from The PodLounge:
Type the following into the "Search Service URL": http://mobile.thepodlounge.com/nokia_search.php?q=#

German Podcast Directory Search
http://www.podster.de/tag/#/rss

To restore defaults:
From "Connection", click "Options" and then choose "Restore Default"
