For those following the Ex-closure posts, you may have noticed we’re still getting used to this system. So far, the only real damage that’s being done is we’re making some iTunes users have to download a couple of tunes manually from the website.

For those poor souls, we’ve found a solution courtesy of one of our VIP subscribers (Frosty, you are full of awesome).

If iTunes downloads the wrong file [because we put the wrong enclosure in the feed], you can force iTunes to re-download a podcast episode this way:

1. Delete the offending podcast episode (the wrong file that you downloaded).
2. In iTunes’ Podcast list, close the little triangle next to the podcast title (they call it a “turnbuckle”).
3. Mac users hold down the option key, Windows users hold down control and shift.
4. Re-open the triangle. You should now see the complete list of available downloads for the feed.
5. Click “get” next to the file you want to re-download.

Hopefully that will help make up for our lack of feed knowledge. We’re going to add this to the FAQ page since it’s obviously hit a few people. We’ll try to keep this from happening again!

Sometimes WordPress and Feedburner seem to conspire against us. If you just tried to download “They Got The Money” via RSS or iTunes, you may have actually received nothing more than the spoken intro instead. Apparently the feed only runs with the first audio link in the blog post, even if we set a specific enclosure tag.

It should be fixed now. If not, PLEASE let us know in the comments!

If you can’t get it through iTunes because you already downloaded the wrong track with the right name, try downloading directly from the website. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience!

If you just tried to download “It’s Raining Bankers” via RSS or iTunes, you may have actually received “Lost on Block Island” instead. That was our fault, sorry. We set the wrong enclosure info on that one.

It should be fixed now.

If you can’t get it through iTunes because you already downloaded the wrong track with the right name, try downloading directly from the website. That, at least, we got right!
