The Observation Deck

Hi,
The link at the top of this thread is dead.

Any ETA on Council Meetings availability? I'm will to help, just get the tapes to me and I'll e-mail you AM quality (or higher if desired) MP3 files which you could make available to the World.

I know your working on the perfect solution, but in the mean time we could be getting content from each Council meeting just using the tapes, without edits.

Don-

We're still working on getting the tapes from Council. I guess we ran out of steam for a bit.

I'll call City Hall tomorrow about the full Council recording & get back to you!

We have the podcast links on the front page at http://lakewoodobserver.com

iTunes has recently added a podcasting option to its free program. Both PC & Mac users can get iTunes for free at:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/

Since iTunes hasn't picked up on our feeds (yet), there is an easy way to manually subscribe to our podcasts.

After you have downloaded & installed iTunes, look at the top menu bar for

Advanced
Subscribe to Podcast

You can paste in our feeds (individually):

for the musicCasts
http://lakewoodobserver.com/music/audio/dircaster.php

for Stan Austin's councilCasts,
http://lakewoodobserver.com/podcasts/audio/dircaster.php

These feeds will work with whatever aggregator you choose.

I subscribed to the podcast via iTunes however the feed information there is not all the descriptive. I have a feeling it's because the feed is not formatted to meet Apple's specifications:

Following that will allow you to give it a Title, Author, etc that will make it easier to find when searching podcasts in iTunes as well as making it have better descriptions in your iTunes podcast list.

I saw that iTunes had picked up up and there is indeed something wrong with the way our automatic feed generator works.

I'm working on it!

Great to hear, if you need any help with it, send me a PM
