Podcast Description Missing in iTunes

[Russ At Index]

Hi All,

Makes a nice change to post a non Excel related topic !!

However my question is three fold

1. Have just downloaded fifteen or so podcasts, previously
the description of of Podacst would show in my Podcast file
within iTunes, but for some reason this last batch is not displaying
that information ?? Any ideas how to get the title of the Podcast
into the description field ?

2. My boss is a keen Excel convert....... can i download for him ALL
of the podcasts from day one ( or Podcast 101 as the case maybe )

3. On my pc at home the wife has her standard iPod Nano set up.
I am buying a video iPod for Xmas, will this conflict at all ?

Thanks Guys & Girls , Seasons Greetings To You All

Russ

For #1 - I've seen this, and I can't figure out why it changed. The pods are at blogger, the feed from Libsyn, and the better feed from Feedburner. I don't know why iTunes stopped picking up the description as the description. It might help to see the original blog:
http://www.mrexcel.com/podcast/learnexcelpodcast.html
or the Libsyn blog:
mrexcel.libsyn.com

For #2: There is no good way to do this. I don't even have all of the files in one place. I have a 60GB LaCie drive with some episodes. The massive problem with podcasting is the size of the files and the bandwidth required to download them.

For #3 - it should work well. You can share files with up to five iPods before you run into problems. The theory of how to best do this... put your wife's favorite music in one playlist, and your in another, and then set up the iPod to sync a particular playlist.

Sorry for the less-than-useful post...
