A word about Release All

There’s been a bit of confusion about the function of the Release All link.

The Release All link will allow all the episodes to appear in your podcatcher. Different podcatchers will handle this differently…some will download all of those episodes. Some will not, and you need to trigger the download manually. Most default to set to only download the most recent episode. When you pushed the button for “release all”, it did just that. But since your podcatcher is set to only grab the most recent file, which is the THE END file, that’s probably what you heard. These are settings inside the podcatcher itself, and it’s not something that we can control.

You need to edit your preferences to download all of the episodes. Each podcatcher handles that differently, but you should be able to figure it out.

If you find that you are missing chapters, especially in iTunes: delete your subscription in iTunes, and then re-add it. This usually clears up the problem. I wish we had more control of this, but alas, it’s part of how iTunes works some times. We’re trying to see if there is anything we can make this easier.

    This is a great feature! I have used this feature in itunes a number of times and have had no problems, but it is all in the settings.
