Anyone else having a problem with iTunes and the Rookie?
Posted March 28th, 2008 by tjkuhn
I can't seem to 'Get' any of Scott's 'The Rookie' from my subscription to 'Scott Sigler Audiobooks' on iTunes. Anyone else running into this problem or know what the problem is (or if I'm just the bung-hole)?
Thanks for all of the great stuff Scott!
i have noticed
-that iTunes only goes back so far for previous episodes (pulsar says thirty, sounds right). i hav ehad this problem with other podcasts. but once you are subscribe, they just keep coming, unless they pod fade or they live in sigler standard time or worse (ie, darker projects and Children of the Gods). i have gone to the website of the podcast and downloaded missing episodes from there

Noticed several issues with Feedburner vs iTunes
I've been seeing various issues with feedburner and iTunes lately. iTunes basically uses the feed we expose over feedburner to provide you the episodes. For some reason the feed seems to be cut off on the iTunes side after about 30 entries. This seems to happen only occasionally.
Furthermore Feedburner seems to have had some hickups lately, I've been missing the enclosure tags within the generated xml, seems to be working right now though.
You might be on the safe side if you don't subscirbe to the feed via iTunes music store but direclty via the RSS feed:

To do so head over to podcasts menu in iTunes, remove the old subscription and use "Extended -> Subscribe to a Podcast" with the url above. Not sure if the menu is named that exact way, I'm running the german version of iTunes.
Cheers!
Paul.
