Podcasts are Audio/Video feeds made up of Episodes that are published periodically by a Podcaster. Podcasts can be subscribed to or listened to without subscribing. Here is a brief description of the various Podcast subnodes in MediaMonkey Media Tree:
- Subscriptions subnode
- Contains all subscribed Podcasts currently in the MediaMonkey Library.
- Each Subscription will show the Episodes that have been published for the Podcast Subscription
- Podcast Directories subnode
- This contains a directory of Podcasts that can be browsed and subscribed to. Podcast Directories can be imported or exported via OPML files.
Subscribing and Listening to Podcasts
MediaMonkey allows you to easily subscribe to Podcasts, using any of the methods described below:
- If you've found a Podcast on the web, do one of the following:
- copy the feed's URL, right-click on the Podcast node and click 'Subscribe to new Podcast'. Paste the Podcast URL into the subscription dialog.
- open the associated .pcast file with your browser, which will cause MediaMonkey subscribe dialog to open up.
- Choose custom Subscription rules for the Podcast if desired to define how Episodes should be downloaded, and when they should be removed. Default rules are set under Tools > Options > Downloads/Podcasts from the Main Menu.
The Podcast Episodes will begin to download according to the rules you set. MediaMonkey will periodically check for new Episodes based on the update rules you set under Tools > Options > Downloads/Podcasts from the Main Menu. (you can also manually trigger an update of all subscribed podcasts by right-clicking on the Podcast node).
To play the podcast, you can double-click the relevant Episode File in either the Podcast node, or in the Library.
Importing and Exporting Podcasts Directories
If you have a collection of Podcasts that you wish to import into MediaMonkey, you can do so by importing an OPML file. Right-click on the Podcasts > Podcast Directories node and click 'Add Directory' from the Context Menu. The directory will then appear and from allow you to subscribe to individual Podcasts with the Podcast Directory.
If you wish to export your Podcasts as an OPML file, you can do so via Edit > Podcasts > Export subscribed Podcasts from the Main Menu which will create an OPMP file of all your subscribed Podcasts.
