Title: How to add m4a podcast
Post by: Araj on November 07, 2010, 02:56:15 pm
How do I add a new m4a feed to the podcast list? MC seems to refuse to download or play them. If I add a new feed, for example

http://www.rhythmtreeradio.info/page0/files/page0_blog_entry4_2.m4a (http://www.rhythmtreeradio.info/page0/files/page0_blog_entry4_2.m4a)

MC reports:

This podcast feed is not currently available, or contains a data format error. Please notify the webmaster, or just check back later.

RSS Feed target is not XML

If I opening the feed from File --> Open URL, then my web browser (Firefox) opens with a window offering to open or save the file. If i choose open with MC, the file downloads completely and then plays

Why can't I add it to the menu as a feed?

Sorry if I'm being dense, I have no experience with podcasts

It doesn't appear that those .m4a's are available as a podcast.

A podcast essentially is a xml file that points to audio files and the xml file changes whenever there is a new episode to be had. In this case, there is no podcast xml.
