Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I’ve been using Thunderbird to download podcasts for a while now, but my good buddy Shane just clued me in on how to use Winamp for all my podcast needs.

How To Download Podcasts With Winamp

First off you’ll need to download the newest version of Winamp. You can grab Winamp Media Player 5.56 right here.

Where do I find Podcasts?

Secondly you’ll have to find feeds to the shows you like. Here are a couple of my favs.

Most broadcasters nowadays have podcasts if they’re savvy enough. If you have someone else you’re interested in visit their website and look for a podcast or rss feed.

Once you find your podcast feed you will want to click on the, “Media Library”, link at the top of Winamp . On the left hand side you’ll see a list that looks something like this.

Remote media, local media, playlists, online services and podcast directory.

Click on the, “Subscriptions”, link under Podcast Directory and paste your feed in here. Once you have pasted in your feed hit Ctrl + P to pop up the Winamp Preferences console. From here you can set where to download your podcasts to and how often to do so.

Once you have your feed entered into your saved list you can use Winamp to browse the podcast website or view videos from the same site. I’ve always been a fan of Winamp, but here’s one more reason to love it all the more.
