Podcasting 101 with SoundCloud
What about podcasting? If I want to set up a podcast, will soundcloud work with feedburner? Will it work with iTunes?
I’m undecided

We have now come up with a workaround for using audio from your SoundCloud account on a podcast feed.
Here is how to get it done - http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfxg6s...

Inappropriate?it used to be that we could directly link to the mp3, which was usefull for podcasting. where has this gone? -
Inappropriate?We're currently not offering any podcasting utilities, however we're currently thinking of making such a feature. if you'd like to get a link to a certain file then simply put "/download" in the end of the track url.

Inappropriate?I cannot get it to work using Enclosures links to the download URL. Basically Itunes does not recognize it as an audio file. If i use a direct link to an MP3 file it works fine. So my assumption is that SoundCloud does not allow direct linking to mp3 and the download/ URL will not work with Itunes correct?
I’m disappointed

Inappropriate?As an example you can take a look here:

Good, but this is a very manual approach. Would like it to be automatic from soundcloud.com in future if possible please?
Also, does anyone know of a way to add a podcast to iTunes without downloading/installing iTunes?! -
While this solution is appreciated, it will unfortunately mess up your iTunes podcast.
The download url sends a special header to your browser (or iTunes). For a regular browser it's designed to force a download. For the iTunes Music Store it invalidates your feed, and they will suspend your podcast. -
Inappropriate?This is awesome. Nice work guys... this is what I was looking for currently so that at least iTunes sees the mp3 extension on the files.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?any news yet about a more easy way to broadcast the podcasts?

Inappropriate?Did anybody cracked the 4th point:
4. Grab the audio file url and add /download.mp3 at the end.
For example - http://soundcloud.com/nitzanfineart/f... turns to http://soundcloud.com/nitzanfineart/f...
Include that in the a custom field called 'enclosure'
I can't seem to find that field.....
