• Users of FeedDemon: Useful Podcasting Tip

  April 21, 2008 in Nerd

  I’ve been struggling with this one for a short while now - a few of the podcasts I subscribe to come in .m4a format, which is generally synicated using iTunes. I’m a big grumpy ‘I don’t like iTunes’ type though, but I was a bit curious as to why some of my enclosures weren’t automatically downloading in FeedDemon and others were; it turns out that FeedDemon is initially set to refuse enclosures with the extension .m4a. I think this is bonkers; that said, there might be some sort of compatibility issues with iTunes if they’re both trying to download the same thing. Either way. To ‘fix’, load up your main FeedDemon window and do the following: Click ‘Tools’, then ‘Options’; Click the ‘Enclosures/Podcasts…’ button; Add ‘m4a;’ to the big list of file extensions under ‘permitted enclosures’. Either that, or instead of adding ‘m4a’ to said list, you can also set FeedDemon to allow any non-executable enclosures in the same options screen.
