StationRipper Podcasts - Help!
First, take a look at
this
for some background on what a Podcast is.
StationRipper is now able to "rip" Podcast "stations". It will go out to
a station that you choose to record from, download all the available
content from that station, and then wait for new content.
Inside of StationRipper, you can get to the stations three ways.
Podcast Dialog
This dialog will allow you to go out and get the list of
Stations. The first time the "Available Podcasts" list will empty.
Click on "Load" to load the main directory of Podcasts. If you click the
"Load ALL Directories" checkbox, it will load not only from ipodder.org
but from all feeds that ipodder hooks into. Note: The load November take a
long time. You can click "Refresh List" at any time to show what
StationRipper has gotten so far. You can also click "OK" or a station(s)
to rip - After you press "Load" (or "Refresh Details"), as long as
StationRipper is up it will continue to load. If you leave the dialog
and come back again, it will display what it has loaded so far.
Once the list has loaded, you can select one or
more Podcasts to Rip. Double clicking one will rip that one - Selecting
more than one and clicking "Rip Stations" will rip all of those
stations.
The "Refresh Details" list will go out to each Podcast and get details,
like how many items the Podcast has to download, the last update, and a
detailed description of the 'cast. This can take a VERY long time (but
if you want to start ripping you can - as long as you don't exit
StationRipper, it will continue to load.
