mubix Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I doubt this is really that big of a deal to the general public, but I just thought I would put it out there. I have an iPod and specifically choose not to use iTunes. I constantly run into the problem where sites show iTunes subscribe feeds, and a xvid rss link. Is there any way to obtain an RSS feed from those subscribe links? I would like to continue my strike against iTunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartain X Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 most site have alternative rss feed for different technologies (itunes, rss, atom, etc), for a alternative there are several to say the least i prefer juice (open source/ cross platform) just subscribe with you alternative program and it should work fine or you could just subscribe using Firefox and when a new podcast/whatever pops up up just manually download it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think you don't understand. The sites I am trying to get the feed from, only allow iTunes or xvid rss. So, in order for it to work on my ipod, I need iTunes. I don't want to use iTunes. I want to convert the iTunes subscribe link into an RSS feed so that I can use myPodder (podcastready.com) to download said podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartain X Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 not to sure about that then i guess you are just stuck not being able to get the feeds as i said before you could always subscribe with Firefox and just download them manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfing22 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Are you able to get the .xml file from the site, which if you do, then you could easily plug them into any other RSS reading program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
