Geotalk feed subscription without iTunes?

Team Falling Numerals · Post by **Team Falling Numerals** » 01 July 07 6:27 pm

I have a question for those in the community who subscribe to the Geotalk feeds.

I have a new u'beaut MP3 player thing I thought that I should be able to subscribe to the Geotalk feeds without too much trouble. However it would appear to me (remember I am a beginner here) that the subscription links are for iTunes. My new toy is not an iToy so I don't want to use iTunes to manage my subcription feeds.

My question is....am I able to subscribe to the feed without using iTunes? If so what is the address of the feed subscription? I have managed to subscribe to podcacher but I would love to also have Geotalk to accompany me as I take my morning walk.

cheers

You'll need some kind of Podcast Aggregator if you are not using iTunes.. Try some of the suggestions here (I don't use windows so I don't know whats available for it)

point it to: http://geotalk.libsyn.com/rss and it should work fine

Oh thank you very much.

that worked for me. My MP3 player came with its own podcast organising software but for the life of me I couldn't work out the address that I needed to type in to make the subscription.

its working and downloading the lastest edition as I type.

cheers

Now could someone explain how to view the video without an itunes subscription or an ipod or i....anything. My computer doesn't recognise the extension, even though the previos videos opened up automatically in You Tube. ( And I didn't download You Tube)

and a whole heap of open source ( bloat free) alternate apps at:

What you talkin' 'bout Pesky. Surely you need a 60Mb program to play those complicated mp3 thingumajigs. And there must be a good reason for needing to update it frequently with another large download.

Yeah, but those little music library programs don't come with their own browser to download when they auto-update themselves!

Back in the bad old days before I lashed out an extortionate amount of money on broadband I had no way of playing geotalk video on a PC.
U-Tube doesn't work on dial up and I didn't have a codec to run the downloads on a PC.

Well, the other day a collegue pointed me to a video codec that he claimed would run "anything".

So I gave it the ultimate test of the Geotalk Video and it works.
