Enhanced Podcast Feed Available to Premium Members

Anise - unsubscribing from the Members Only Feed will not delete your Members Only Feed history.

I recently made this change and only now subscribe to the Enhanced version, and my Members Only history is still there and accessible.

Hi,

This is perhaps a technical ITUNES question - that maybe someone can help me with.

In ITUNES I have "Manager Tools Members Only" and "Manager Tools Enhanced Podcast".

I like the history of the "Manager Tools Members Only" and am not ready to delete it, however I guess I should now be subscribed to the "Manager Tools Enhanced Podcast".

Can I unsubscribe from "Manager Tools Members Only" podcasts - but still keep my history?

Thank-you in advance,

ANISE

All,

From my experience, you do not need to view the enhanced content on an iPod. You can see it via iTunes.

1) From the View menu in iTunes, select "Show Artwork". The artwork will show up in the left hand corner of iTunes.
2) Double-click the artwork to expand the artwork in another window.

This should allow you to view the presentation.

This also shows up when you use Front Row, but it's a bit annoying since the slide flips back-and-forth as a screen saver.

>> do I still need to subscribe to Members-only feed as well?

No, the enhanced feed will include both the weekly podcasts, as well as the monthly/extra casts (although in many cases, the monthly may not be in the "ehanced" format). One caveat - the enhanced feed only includes casts from July 2008 forward. If you want to easily download all the historical casts, you'll need to use the members-only feed.

Hi Guys

Recently discovered your podcasts and am loving every minute of them (and the forums too).

Love the new enhanced feature - one quick question (and sorry if this has been answered elsewhere) - with enhanced podcast feed, do I still need to subscribe to Members-only feed as well? I understand the difference about content (i.e. with enhanced you get the pdf slides, chapter splits etc) but I want to make sure I get all the podcasts without having to subscribe to two separate feeds.

Thanks
JD

M&M Great initiative thanks! There are a few podcasts coming out with this feature now and I think it's great.

I do have a problem though - the images (of the slides) are rendered using only about 2/3 the dimension of the iPod screen and so are too small to read the bullet point text. I have a 4th gen iPod (video iPod). It would be alright if the slide image stretched all the way across the screen.

Does anyone know how this can be changed? Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I am in the market for an iPhone so the problem will eventually go away, however I'm sure I'm not the only one...

Very nice. Thanks guys!

*RNTT,

OK, I have figured it out. I had listened to the John Lucth Podcast, which does not have chapters.
Once I started the My Space podcast, I saw the Chapters option.

Thanks

I am a Premium member. I have added the new link to my ITunes Podast List and can listen to the podcasts themselves.

What I cannot see is the Chapters menu option that is in the Blog Post above. The Chapters menu option is on the Menu toolbar between Window and Help options.

thanks

Frankie

Are you a premium member subscriber? If you aren't, you won't see the new format. And if yes, did you add the new link to iTunes to download the new podcast format?

*RNTT

I cannot see the Chapters option.
I have an Ipod Video, run an IMAC and have Itunes 7.7
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
Frankie

Jim,

I added the latest members-only cast to Enhanced Premium Members Podcast Feed. I hope that helps and eliminates the need for two feeds.

Best Regards,
Mike

Brilliant, nice one.

Renewing my premium membership is going to be one of the first things I do to break in my new Corp Credit card. I had to turn in my old one when I left my role as IT Manager and get a new one as a Director. Thanks again Manager Tools for providing guidance - helping me achieve my goals and influence others.

Thanks, that's great! Any chance we can see the same advances in the Members-Only feed?

Sorry Gary (and Mike). I forgot that detail.

Jim - it's been a while since I looked, but IIRC the "regular members" feed is for anyone that signs up for an account here; whereas the "premium feeds" are exactly that - for folks that have separately purchased the premium aspects. The enhancements are utilizing content that is paid for, vs. the regular stuff.

I'd love to have the enhanced podcasts in the regular members only feed. MT is the one podcast I have setup to 'not allow auto delete'. I'm not really keen on unsubscribing to the old feed and dealing with a new one.

Fantastic... Like jdg said : looks like another reason to get an iPhone!

Well done guys.

Ced.

You guys are awesome!

I am sorry that I haven't listened in a while, but I started the interviewing series this morning (I know you guys can tell). Anyways, it is awesome. And as I thought, I am kicking myself for all my prior interviews.

Anyways, great job on the new feed. I can't wait to try it out. You guys are ahead of the curve :)

Looks like a great reason to buy an iPhone!

This is HUGE user-friendly enhancement. Thanks for continually improving the pruduct in unexpected ways. I almost can't wait to renew my premium membership. Almost. -Hugh

Truly sweet enhancement. There are MANY times when I want to get to a particular point in a cast and now I have a way to do it quickly. Nice.
