Moving a file into iTunes Podcast subheading

BennyC · 15 Sep 2009 at 19:35

Hi guys,

I accidentaly forgot to back up several podcasts. I've managed to re-download them from an archive but am having a small issue.

When adding some to my library they join the correct podcast icon and appear in the correct order.

However some are just added to my library and not my podcast sub-section as such.

Is there a specific file extension I need to change the file to in order to do this? Any specific information that needs to be edited?

Any help would be great!

Thanks

BennyC

Found my own solution via here:

Using the ID3 editor, I just copied the tags from an original podcast file to the files that were 'misbehaving' and then sorted out the discrepancies in the file name.

Mods feel free to close

Good solution.. I had used an entirely more complex solution, involving setting up a fake podcast server and having itunes 'download' them to get the right tag!

Nice find.
