iTunes issues

iTunes is grabbing the wrong shows.

We don’t know why, but Apple’s iTunes is grabbing the wrong shows. If you subscribe to “For Immediate Release” through iTunes, you could get just about anything. One subscriber got the last show (#48), another got #47, another got the Siemens interview. Subscriptions through other podcatching software is all working just fine. If you didn’t get show #49, you can download it from the “For Immediate Release” blog or subscribe through an alternative podcatcher. In the meantime we’re in touch with Apple to see if we can figure out what’s up.

UPDATE: This appears to be fixed. I’ve downloaded the correct show three times in a row from iTunes.

  1. No problem getting show #50. Congratulations on a great podcast. Looking forward to more. You’ve both done a great job creating a podcast that shows the benefit of the tool, one that enhances your respective blogs but also has its own value.

  2. A subscribed feed in iTunes should show the latest items and enclosures for the feed.

    A feed pre-viewed from the iTunes directory using either category browse or search will frequently play an old episode.

    e.g. I just tested iTunes. Episode 49 plays from directory (Search=For Immediate Release) but Episode 50 shows when subscribed.
