So, anybody figure out if it's possible to put podcasts not available though iTunes Music Store into the Podcast Library???

I figure someone out there has to be at least looking into this...

My main reason for wanting to do this is so I can add downloaded MP3 Podcasts from a paid service to the iPod Podcast menu...

Nice feature...

Unfortunatly it won't quite work in this case as password cookies are required to dowload them...
And there are 4 seperate files for each "cast"...
And the URLs change every day (updated with current date)...

Bobby, is it a Podcast (RSS with enclosures)? Or just mp3 files?

Niceeeee

I just realized I can drag and drop my subscriptions from NetNewsWire right into my Podcasts menu. Slick. I was wondering how I was going to get my last few podcast subscriptions into iTunes - this works great!

I do think we need to be able to have individual podcast settings. We'll see if I still miss it after using iTunes for podcasts for another week, though
I have a TiBook. I have an iPod. Life is good.
