Downloading Podcasts with FeedDemon

If you’re new to FeedDemon, you might not know that you can use it to download podcasts (AKA: "enclosures") and sync them with iTunes.

When an article has a podcast associated with it, a paperclip icon will appear beneath its title, as illustrated by this screen shot:

 

Clicking this icon adds the podcast to FeedStation (a free "podcatcher" that’s bundled with FeedDemon), which takes care of downloading it and then copying it to iTunes:

If you’re subscribed to a feed whose podcasts you always want to download, you can skip clicking the paperclip icon and tell FeedDemon to automatically download all podcasts by editing the feed’s properties:

In my case, I selectively download podcasts for most feeds, but I have automatic downloading enabled for IT Conversations since I generally want to listen to every IT Conversations podcast.

FeedDemon’s online help has more details on this process, including:

Bonus Tip: You can drag-and-drop any hyperlink onto FeedStation to add it to the download queue.  This works not only with hyperlinks inside of FeedDemon, but also those in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
