Podcast getting split-up!

Postby sacredbanana » September 12th, 2009 8:16 pm

Hello

I have been a premium subscriber for a long time now. Recently (maybe since installing itunes 9) when downloading episodes in the premium feed it creates a whole new podcast in the podcast directory. It's hard for me to explain but I downloaded about 500 files in the feed last night and now when I click podcasts I see about 500 separate podcasts each saying japanesepod101.com (each containing 1 episode). each podcast might contain just the lesson notes and a separate podcast might contain the audio. this is very frustrating. I ended up deleting the whole lot and resubscribing to the premium feed, but it's still doing it. I even tried creating a My Feed and subscribing to that, but it is still doing it. When initially subscribing to the feed it won't show it as the Geisha image as it normally should. It shows it as the thumbnail of the latest video. I really don't know how to describe this unusual problem. If you need me to try to explain better I will.

Arigatou gozaimasu!

I kinda have a fix. (it worked for me anyway)

Highlight the Individual podcasts (so for me the five parts that jp101 podcast split into). Right click and select get Info.

Click the sorting tab and fill it in as follows :

Sort Artist
JapanesePod101.com

Sort Album Artist

Sort Album
JapanesePod101.com | Basic Feed

Sort Composer

Sort Show


Make sure Sort Artist and Sort Album are ticked. This regrouped the items for me. I have not downloaded a new episode yet, so hopefully this works out well for the new downloaded episodes. ***EDIT*** Does not auto group new items downloaded ***EDIT***

thanks for the temporary fix.

JPod, are you currently working on this issue? It's really annoying. It's stopping me from wanting to download the lessons via iTunes.

Thanks

It turned out to be a bug in iTunes 9. Apparently it has been fixed in iTunes 9.1, so please try updating iTunes!
